The backpack is as usefull and thoughtout as described in the video from Linus. Fits all my stuff, while keeping a small footprint/not looking gigantic on my back. Super recomended

After cycling through bags from brands like Timbuk2, Alpaka, North Face, Aer, and Tomtoc, I found that each one had its strengths but always seemed to miss the mark for my daily needs. After watching several in-depth reviews of the LTT Commuter Backpack, I decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did.

When it first arrived, the bag looked smaller than I expected. But once I started packing it out, I was surprised at how much it could hold. My everyday carry includes a 32oz sticker-bombed LTT water bottle, Steam Deck, first aid kit, tech pouch, work laptop, 14-inch tablet, hoodie, precision screwdriver set, sunglasses, and a utility knife. I was able to fit everything inside neatly and securely.

The material quality is solid. The padding throughout the backpack gives me peace of mind that my gear is protected, even when jostled during daily commutes. The side water bottle pockets are excellent—one holds my LTT water bottle and the other fits a shaker bottle perfectly. I also appreciate the cleverly integrated hidden pockets, which offer quick access to essentials like my wallet.

One of my favorite features is the structure. Even when fully packed, the backpack stands upright on its own and retains its shape well. After several months of use, it's still looking sharp and holding up great.

That said, I do have a couple of minor gripes. The shoulder straps, while featuring a cool 3x12 padded grid design, could use a bit more cushion. As someone with a bulkier build, the current padding can become uncomfortable on longer wear sessions, so I feel an extra centimeter or even expanding to a 4x12 grid might help with load distribution. Additionally, I would’ve liked to see a magnetic sternum buckle. Not only would it be quicker to use, but it would also add a premium feel to the harness system.

Also one limitation I ran into was the tablet sleeve where it's a bit too snug for larger tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab Ultra series (something I should have looked more closely in before purchasing). To work around this, I placed both my tablet and laptop into the laptop compartment. It was a tight fit, but the zipper still closed without issue.

Despite these small issues, I’m very satisfied with the LTT Commuter Backpack. It hits nearly all the right notes for a daily carry and has become my EDC bag for work and travel.

I purchased the Commuter Backpack because I was tired of digging through my backpack, and the deep zippers in combination with its layout solved that problem.

The materials are also nice, and standing on its own is rather handy.

The only flaw I see after a couple of weeks of use is the hidden back pocket, which is a bit tight, making it difficult to stow even thin objects like a smartphone in it.

Excellent product!

The commuter backpack has been great so far (1 mo. of use). I find the amount of space inside remarkable, considering it's size.
