Chrome BLCKCHRM 22X Yalta 3.0 Pack vs Ortlieb Commuter-Daypack City

They can come up onto your arm and keep it a little closer to your body. I personally have one of these for about ten years, I would say ten years ago...

In terms of commuting I would note, I wear a size 12/13 shoe and as it turns out that is too wide to stack shoes horizontally at the bottom of the backpack so to truly use the bag as intended I suspect the storage space is constrained vs. what someone with a slightly smaller foot would experience - which could be an issue for large footed people who wear conventional business casual attire and plan to commute using this backpack.

You know the drill so oriented in this position. In this side access position, you can kind of seen here with this velcro flag, that this is a laptop ...

They are positioned lower so when you are hunched over the handle bar the blinkers should be more visible than it was on the Velocity where the slots were located near the top of the bag. You could also attach your u-lock using these slots. Interior compartments of various sizes to store the essentials: flat tire kit; wallet; phone… Velocity lacked compartments -- it only had one small pouch inside. Commuter has a padded laptop compartment (do people still carry around laptops these days, though?), and a zipped, large pouch, inside which contain four more smaller pockets for your smart phone, keys, and what not
