Hey guys. First, YES, I NEED it to be water proof!!! I do plan on using it some days just as a laptop and sorts type of bag, and I don't need my macbook getting wet.
And, no, racks are not my thing at all. I will be switching from different bikes and my cbr, so racks won't work. I am dead set on a nice new mess bag, and I really want to upgrade from my Timbuk2 medium, as it is not too bad, but just seems very lacking in some areas. I need the comfort in the strap, thats important. And, a good all around bag between the few in my list above, is where I really want to be at.

So, again, just really looking for an upgrade to my T2 mess, which I love, but an upgrade is needed, badly. And, all the bags in my list seem great, but I don't know, I just really want to hear some updated opinions between the few i have it narrowed down to.
Again: ReLoad, Chrome, Bailey Works, PAC designs, Crumpler, Seagull black bags. I would love to hear about these specifically, if anyone cares to just comment with pros/cons, pics wearing it, etc. Any and all opinions greatly appreciated. Im sick of watching youtube vids anyway. Some good opinions would be pleasant to read though.
