Comfort
Atlas Packs Athlete
Important: Choose the Adventure or Athlete hip belt – otherwise you will have literally no padding on your hips. I don’t recommend using the bag without a hipbelt either. The Adventure belt is more comfortable as it provides two layers of foam padding and a wider webbing and buckle – it’s also bigger and bulkier.

Luckily, we’re fans of black backpacks as they tend to blend in with a crowd and don’t show stains easily.
Compartment
Timbuk2 Hero Pack
To point out the obvious, these pockets are for your small accessories. Wireless headphones, keys (if they’re slim), dongles, a good luck charm, things of that nature.
Carry-on
Timbuk2 Hero Pack
This is especially true because, as we’ll discuss in detail later, your stuff will likely all fall to the bottom of the main compartment, making the overall carry flumpy. This flumpiness is one of the most annoying things about this bag.
Size
Strap
Timbuk2 Hero Pack
This bag has allowed me to not look so much like a bag lady slogging into work. The only qualm that I have is that since I'm a rather small framed woman, 5'-4" 135lb, the straps are a touch too wide and sometimes they slip off of my shoulder. A chest clip would be great. Other then that, it's a dream boat
