Almost five years ago, I was looking for a solution for carrying my laptop back and forth to work on my motorcycle. I needed something that was waterproof and would keep the laptop more secure than just packing it in a saddlebag. A backpack seemed like it would be the best option and after a quick web search I realized that there weren't that many waterproof backpacks that would be suitable for wearing on a motorcycle. Then while flipping through a copy of Aerostich's catalog, I spotted the Ortlieb Flight Pack.
It looked like it would do the trick, so I ordered one up. When it arrived I put it right into service and it performed perfectly for the next four years. The waterproof TZIP zippers kept everything dry, even in a downpour. The pack held plenty of gear, but still was comfortable to wear. Everything was going great until a couple months ago. Then all the seams decided to start giving way. Take a look...
Luckily, Ortlieb has a five year warranty, so this backpack is headed back to the factory for a refurbish or if I'm lucky a complete replacement.
