yes, not sure, but probably not. It is however large enough to comfortably fit two 17" laptops with headroom to spare

I like the idea of preserving home as "a place where I don't have to think about work" but also my commute is a five minute walk and a ten minute bus ride so it makes sense if your commute or office environment stink

i looked a little further and apparently it's a motorcycle specific backpack. weird that i didn't know that.

anyway, i've seen people carrying them without wearing motorcycle gear, so either they're dummies because they don't wear gear, or they're dummies for buying a motorcycle specific bag when they don't ride a motorcycle

e: no, i guess they also sell it as a generic "lifestyle" backpack. who the gently caress knows
