Hmm...rain & backpacks + new backpack suggestions

Well, I currently own a Heys ePac 17" roller (surprisingly fits my 13.3" laptop+Zeroshock 3 case very well) in addition to a Targus Voyager.

I used the ePac whenever it was going to be a long day and needed to carry quite a bit of stuff and the Voyager whenever it rained as it came with a rain cover. Or during the winter as I can't use my roller in the snow lol.

Now the problem is, I really hate the Voyager as it's uncomfortable, heavy, and excessively large while being able to carry so little. Its main purpose was to keep my laptop dry.




So I'm now looking for a new backpack to replace it and need some recommendations...my laptop is 13.3" but its dimensions are fairly large and 15" laptop bags are fine. Hell, even a 17" bag is ok if I use my zeroshock 3 sleeve with it as well.

Also, how do you deal with rain? Most of these laptop bags are only "resistant" or "repellent" but the rain here already destroyed an older Targus "rain resistant" bag as the heavy rain soaked the entire bag. What do you do lol?

 

Im often in the rain with my Lowepro Tropolis 1300. Its an awesome backpack. Luggage Quality, Nothing gets wet inside, lots of storage and pockets.
Its a 17" backpack, but you can also get a Tropolis 1250, which is 15".
