Streeter Commuter Backpack

I initially ordered this backpack in gray, but decided I wanted it in carbon, and Just Porter happily changed the order before shipping it out.

The construction is incredibly durable and rugged feeling and every stitch is flawless. The magnetic clips took a couple days to get used to, but now I love them. Yes, the bag is expensive, but it’s look and functionality far exceed that of some boring old Jansport. I’ve only had it a week or so, but it’s already had multiple chances to prove that it can stand up well to rain. The water just beads off.

The only thing I’m not the biggest fan of is the bright orange interior. It adds a cool effect, but I’m a fairly reserved person and when I open the main flap in class it’s like a beacon for attention.

All in all a great buying experience and product. Would recommend to anyone who understands that it’s better to buy a quality product once and pay a little more than buy a bunch of cheap products because they keep failing.

I've spent ages searching for a bag that is functional for daily use and large enough to fit 11x17 documents and keep them in good shape. This is it! The bag is large, sturdy, and holds its form, but it doesn't feel cumbersome to wear or work with. The customer service has been great; I'm very pleased with the purchase.

I love how spacious this bag is without seeming huge on the outside. It's such a cool design! Inside, I can keep my whole home office - laptop, table, essentials - and still throw a sweater in there with room to spare. The big open pocket inside means that I'm not opening a thousand zippers or rummaging around to remember which pocket anything is, and it saves valuable real-estate for my stuff. It has exactly the right number of pockets: place for your laptop, big open space for your stuff, and a few small exterior pockets for wallet, etc. I love the addition of the cup-holder on the outside. And I enjoy that this bag has straps that you can use to make it more narrow or wider depending on how much you're carrying that day. I brought this to a friend's house and she immediately ordered one for herself. The best part is that it disperses the weight evenly. I'm 5'6" and strong, yet the bag I had before this one felt unusually heavy on my back. This one feels like I could carry my whole home office, sweater and lunch and not feel bogged down. As a New Yorker with no car, I tend to OBSESS about bags because I have to carry a lot of stuff on my back, and this bag really satisfies my obsession. Really happy with this one!

Usually I don t take time to review but Chris and his company deserve the time. I read a ton of reviews about this bag and everything I read are true. Fantastic bag ! I leave in Chicago - where those bags come from - and I can tell you that you can not be better prepared for the cold / snow /water with this bag. I guess it so maybe premature to say this as I have this bag for only 3 weeks but the look and feel of the materials tells me I m right. Love the extra piece on top to adjust height in case I m having more stuff to fill in. Super comfortable on my back whatever the weight ( I have 15 inches laptop, 2 small hard drives , laptop charger, a mouse, food for the entire lunch, one sweater and other small stuff) : side pocket for water bottle or umbrella is great. One thing though I would say is the magnet clips are for me not practical at all - at least for now . People have mentioned they love it but for me it s a different story. Except that, you can buy it eyes closed. Hope this review helps.

This is the most durable, comfortable bag I’ve had for commuting. The best part, though, is that I can collapse and cinch it down to be a sane size for commuting, and then open it up and fit a ton of groceries on my way home. Love the orange visible interior, the organization inside, and the constant complimenting from random strangers. The personal touch with support was amazing too.
