Time to upgrade your backpack?

In one of the all too many Slacks, I’m in, there was a great discussion about everyone’s favorite developer topic — backpacks! The chatter centered around packs for both travel purposes and daily use. The only real requirement was that the pack had to have a laptop sleeve. To protect the innocent from the inevitable internet backlash and ridicule; I present only the packs on their own merits and leave selecting one, as an exercise left to the reader. Enjoy the eye candy and comment with your favorites!
