The biggest thing I want is some protection for the laptop in addition to some protection for me. Therefore I have narrowed it down to 2 bags, the Axio Swift (which I have tried) and the BOBLBEE Megalopolis Aero Laptop Backpack. I already have an inCase padded cover for the laptop to try to mitigate some of the vibration issues. I don’t have saddle bags or a top bag for my SV650, but I have been considering it. Both bags have the chest straps, but sadly neither have a waist strap (which would also help alleviate some of the wear down from a long ride). I might just make my own waist strap since sewing is a relatively easy thing to do anyway.
Just wanted to update the thread in case anyone is in a similar situation. I’ll update it again once I decide which way I’m going to go. I’d still like to hear if anyone has any experience with hardbacks. Thanks.
