How well will this pack handle sweat? I am looking for a bag to carry my 13" MacBook and iPad while cycling to work.

Hi, I think this will be perfect for you, it has the right size and it's confortable to carry on your back. I used this in my trips to the rainforest and mountains.

Hi, it is a nylon pack so no issues with sweat (I sweat a lot myself). And it will be perfect for a 13inch notebook and IPad. They will fit with still lots a room for other things. Don't hesitate. I use it everyday and it is thin so it does not look like you're a tourist in town.

Might be a little small for all that...I carry my ipad in it and there is room for a mac and prob one to two notebooks, but anymore than that would be too much. It does have some other pocket to carry things such as chargers, glasses etc. I love it.

I think soMy 13.5" mbp is what I get in there. There is quite a bit of room to get it past the Zipper but not much more. It may be a tight squeeze in the "laptop pocket" but no problem in the other spots.Good luck

I have the bag in size small and my 13 inch macair fits in it just fine. However it doesn't fit with a cover on it. The only bad thing is that since the laptop sleeve is in the very back of the back it will be what is making contact between your hip/back and the bag. I don't like that all that pressure is on my Mac. I would reccomend the classic messenger bag in size small for this reason. Then you can keep your laptop sleeve on and place it near the front and have a book or something in the back. Timbuk2 bag sizes are really big. A medium is actually a really big bag, the small is more of the normal sized shoulder messenger bag to me. Check their website for exterior and interior dimensions.

I think it wil be too heavy and the laptop pocket is working well to my 13 inch airmac and my Ipad but makes it little disconfortable as make the laptop pocket bulky. So I believe for short trips out of your back Ok but if you need to walk longer times it will not work. Hope it helps. Good luck and nice shots.

It's pretty small so maybe gym clothes but I think even shoes might be a tight fit. I find a 13" MacBook Air, an iPad, charger and a notebook fit comfortably with maybe a couple of other small items. After that it gets harder to fit things.

I ride to work with my lap top all the time. I do zip it in a a foam sleave just in case. These panniers have enough room for me to go on three day bikepacks. If anything they may be a little large for daily commutes but thats much better than too small. I see other people concerned about rain on their lap top. They make zip lock bags the size you need and larger. I use them for my lap top and w hen backpacking, everthing goes in zip locks.

As a user of this excellent bag and a cyclist, I think not. This is more of a sling briefcase than a backpack for biking

I have a 13'' Mac Book and it's literally floating in it, so I'm pretty sure any 15-inches-ish computer should be comfortable in it.As of weight, I often put some other (heavier) hardware along with it, and the structure of the backpack is really solid; unless you're transporting bags of lead, I think you should be fine. :)Maybe somebody who actually owns a heavy laptop can come up with a more accurrate experience feedback, but from my point of view, I wouldn't worry.

Probably don't want to. A co-worker has one similar and his bag is loose, kind of wobbly... Its from caring too many things in it. Its a small, tight little bag for just the small stuff. I carry my MacBook Pro 13", iPad 10", external HD, Mouse and a few styluses. Anything more is too much.

I carry my 14" Dell Ultrabook in this pack all the time. It will carry a Macbook with ease. It is not my smallest backpack, I have a smaller one that I can squeeze my ultrabook into, but it is much smaller then other packs I own. The benefit, if you are carrying anything other then your Macbook, this will be a good fit for you. You can fit a decent number of text books or other items in addition to your Macbook and not be carrying a whale of a pack.

I think that 13" macbook would NOT fit in this bag. Try searching for a similar bag but for 13" laptops

I've been using it with my 13" macbook pro for years. No problems. Great bag.

I own the bag, have a 15" laptop, and work with computers. I would not recommend transporting any type of computing device in a bike rack bag. If you need to carry the laptop with you as you ride, here is what I would do: Find the smallest, tightest-fitting backpack that I could stand, in which the laptop fits securely, and transport it in this backpack.

I have used this pack and nothing seems to move around. There is little room for phone, keys, money etc. It sticks out too far from your body for me. I'm not entirely happy with it, but I haven't been able to find one I like either. Good Luck.

I just went hiking with it this past weekend. At the end of the hike, I was sweating, and felt a lot of sweat on my back. But its a very comfortable pack. However, it lacks space for TONS of camera gear for long trips. So, be warned that if you want this trip to go cross country, its not going to store much more than a camera and a lens in the padded area. In the main compartment, stuff will move around quite a bit. So, plan carefully.

It fits my MacBook in there perfectly. I can see it fitting something bigger as well. I have the small. Great bag. Use it everyday for work.
