Streeter Commuter Backpack

Really impressed with this bag so far. Spacious and comfortable. The bag fits under an airplane seat and sits nicely on your back when biking. Haven’t tested the waterproofness yet. Very quick delivery!

I was looking for a bag that would fulfil my needs for travel, commuting and photography. It needed to be robust, spacious and versatile. I'm happy to say the Streeter has fulfilled these requirements. The size is perfect - it's wider than most commuter packs, but still small enough to be hand luggage; it has a roll top to give more space if you need it, and excellent storage for a laptop, tablet and accessories. A surprise for me was the stitching... it's not as machine perfect as you may be used to with bigger brands using precision equipment, I'm guessing these are all hand stitched - it certainly makes it feel more personal! I also like the hand written note, it's a nice touch.

My other feeling is this bag is very good quality for a good price, and even better considering that a bag of school supplies is donated. Before this I was considering a bag from Peak Design, but it's just overpriced in my opinion. I feel happy I got the right bag for me and helped a charitable cause.

My only suggested improvements to consider would be 1) A second water bottle pocket on the outside and 2) A fully watertight outer zipper.

I was looking around for a bag to look more "professional" before I begin my residency. I was tired of looking like an undergrad student with the usual backpack. I wanted something that had quality and would last years, like my North Face. I honestly went on a whim and bought the bag because of the ethos of the company. I said I would return it if it didn't meet my standards. The bag had no YouTube reviews like many other companies do. I only found a few reviews of this bag and was nervous. I was pleasantly surprised when i received this bag. Inside was a note by Chris that was handwritten by him. It was a nice, personal touch. Immediately I could feel the quality of the bag. I knew it was going to handle the abuse I was going to give it for the next few years. It holds everything I need and it was quite well thought out. My only gripe with the bag is the lack of more organizational areas. But, I think this could be a good thing because I am only bringing what I need and not hording like I used to do. Laptop is protected and water bottle holder is perfect. It's true, the more you put into the bag the more comfortable it gets. The straps and padding feel like clouds and placed well for a 6' 1" guy of slim waist and chest. If I could describe the material - it feels like a thick raincoat and the inside is almost like a tarp. It's quality though and definitely worth the price!

I'll start this off like most others "I don't normally review things but..." I just had too with this company and bag. I love my Streeter, it's a great bag, well constructed and was 1000% what I was looking for in a commuter bag. There was an issue with the shipping and their support department was super responsive and I even got a handwritten note in my shipment from their founder, Chris - which if that doesn't scream amazing customer service and company, I don't know what to tell you!

My ONLY complaint and it's more of an nitpicky issue than anything - but I wish there was a better way to unclip the magnetic clips together before one of them decides to re-connect itself because of the magnets in them. That's all, nothing major, just one of those "ugh well that was annoying" type things if I'm in a hurry. But this bag and company still get 5 stars easy from me!

After much research I decided on this Just Porter back and couldn't be happier. It's well constructed, looks great, and fills all my needs. It's now become my go-to bag for work commuting, heading to the gym, and even weekend trips across the country. Highly recommended!
