Hey everyone, what bag are you using to carry your things for work?

r/

I mainly use a backpack but am looking for something that maybe is more mature ‘(if that is even a thing)?

I mostly need to carry my laptop and lunch.

    A nicer looking backpack from REI. You could also do a peak design type messenger bag, but it really depends on your workplace how much it matters

    I use a soft full grain leather briefcase. It carries my laptop, lunch, extra cables, etc easily and looks a lot more professional than a backpack IMO.

    Laptop bag sometimes but usually backpack since I commute on a motorcycle most of the time.

    I have a backpack for casual days and a briefcase for more formal days. A few bags to choose from is a good idea in my opinion.

    Expensive, but will last a lifetime and then go on to be used by my son/daughter.

    Patagonia book bag. No one is thinking you’re immature for using a book bag to carry your things.

    A Herschel backpack with a laptop compartment. Been with me for over ten years at this point and it’s super raggedy.

    Viktos messenger bag. Waterproof, doesn’t look “tactical” and can still carry everything I need.

    I use a courier bag from 1998 that’s been beat all to hell full of patches I’ve sewn on over the decades. Got a soft laptop sleeve for it maybe a dozen years ago. Lucky for me I don’t have to ever look the least bit “professional”.

    Not “more mature” I guess, but I use a Rogue canvas bag. Brand name doesn’t matter, but I know Rogue holds up well. Holds my gym stuff, (including belt, bands, and various apparatus that my gym doesn’t have), a change of clothes, shoes, lunch, and laptop.

    It’s rugged looking, takes an absolute beating, and doubles as a great carry-on since I usually travel light.

    I use a courier bag from Timbuktu. I like it better than a backpack for access, also getting It on and off while on public transit.

    I use a backpack. I’m 39. It’s a Duck Hunt backpack at that.

    Just a plain ol’ backpack.
