Rhys Backpack Onyx

The neoprene fabric makes this backpack feel almost weightless even when I’ve got my laptop and lunch stuffed inside, and the black-on-black look goes with everything I own. I’ve been using it daily for two weeks and the shape hasn’t sagged once, which is more than I can say for my old canvas bag.

The magnetic closure on the front pocket makes grabbing my phone and keys mid-commute so much easier than digging through a zipper. Neoprene gives it just enough give that it doesn't feel stiff against my back even when it's packed full.

I was worried the neoprene would feel cheap, but it’s surprisingly structured and holds its shape even when I stuff it with my laptop and gym clothes. The sleek onyx finish dresses up my commute without looking like a hiking pack, and it’s wiped clean with a damp cloth after a rainy morning.
