Roka backpack

[beeswain]

Desperately need to replace my everyday bag and have been looking at the Roka Bantry. Does anyone have one? The small looks compact but the medium too bulky. Or any alternative suggestions

Yes I have one - it's a decent size and fits a laptop in easily.
Had mine a good two or three years now and still going strong. I would certainly recommend them.

Thanks Ella. Is that the medium?

I have the small Bantry and it's a good size for daily essentials - to give you an idea, mine usually has a water bottle, umbrella, phone, wallet, keys, spare masks, a reusable carrier bag, earphones in a pouch and some make up bits in the main compartment, and a travel card, compact mirror, hand sanitiser and lipbalm in the small front pocket.

It's really comfortable to carry and the fine on rainy days.

I've been thinking of getting one of the their medium ones for day trips and such when I want to pack a few more things.

I have either that exact bag or a very similar style of theirs in that colour and the stitching between the bag and the zip came apart pretty quickly. Maybe I was just unlucky. I really liked the look of their range. I keep meaning to find out if I can get it repaired.

Bigger ones aren't as comfy when they're fully packed with laptop, but the bag is fairly robust and the colours are great!
