Okay so I picked up a chrome bag yesterday and I gotta say it's a big improvement over the REI daypack I'd been using. First I'm carrying the same gear (tools, laptop, clothes) and the weight distribution is considerably better than the backpack.
But HOLY HUGE BAG, it covers my entire back! I went w/the metropolis b/c everyone - EVERYONE - I read/spoke/queried about which size to get either is happy w/the metropolis or wants one cause the citizen is too small.
I am sure I'll be glad when I go to the grocery store, but man this thing is huge.
And I
like the seat belt clasps.
