David Sparks reviews the Waterfield Staad Backpack →
Back problems were making it hard for me to use my nice messenger bags, but I rarely find backpacks attractive. The Staad is one of the few I’ve found that’s so nice that I no longer even consider a messenger bag.
My Staad is over two years old now — Chocolate Leather on Black Ballistic in the larger “Stout” size, which I’d still call a small backpack — and I still love it.
