I really like Chrome bags. I had three now I'm down to the Metropolis wich is huge on me (I'm a pretty small guy) but I like that I can fit everything (including the kitchen sink) in it. And I have the Soyuz backpack with is great for stowing papers, books, a laptop, etc. Their stuff is built super tough. My only complaint is that if I don't pack stuff in the Metropolis properly, I get a U-lock or something poking me in the kidney.
By the way, I work across the street from their flagship store in SF, and they have a great little coffee shop set up the garage. They make the best coffee in the neighborhood!
