Standbags has a "Navarro" backpack for about AU$40 which survived roughly 600km of backpacking and music festivals while protecting a 15" laptop, external hard drive and DSLR +lenses. Handled travelling much better than a Targus pack I paid 3-4x as much for on my last trip. Still using it as my day pack for work now, only major wear is the mesh water bottle nets on the side. I'm pretty sure they have stores in NZ as well, don't know if they'd have the same stock but worth a shot.

Does anyone here walk or cycle distances (I'm doing 15k a day) carrying their laptop in a backpack? If so would you recommend you case? Ideally I need enough space to pack a towel and a bit of running gear too :-) yes I know I probably need a military style burgen but no I'm not getting one of those. -- regards, Preet, Overlooking the Ocean, Auckland Click here<https://www.mailcontrol.com/sr/MZbqvYs5QwJvpeaetUwhCQ==> to report this email as spam.
