Kipling backpack - any good?

Does any one have a kipling backpack? Do you like it? I can't tell if it's waterproof enough and if it holds a laptop.

I have just got two of them. A mini one and a medium. I've never had a back pack before but I love them.

They both hold my laptop but when I use the mini one room is a bit tight for things like taking my lunch to work so I use the larger one for that.

Very good quality and mine are fine in this recent rainy weather.

They really aren't stylish but they are amazingly resilient and yes, waterproof.

Mine are quite stylish. OK they are not leather but don't like the sports backpacks which don't look stylish at all.

Great thanks! It looks like they have large ones with a laptop pocket but i was hoping my smallish laptop might fit in a medium

You should be fine with the medium size. I have a small laptop (surface pro) and it fits fine in both backpacks.

I have had mine for 20 years and it’s travelled the world with me. The quality is excellent - all zips for the myriad pockets still in place and I bung it in the washing machine. Can’t ever imagine parting with it. It has a padded laptop sleeve inside.

I have a city pack s , I don't use it for work I use it for holidays, days out with ds etc. It's light comfortable, definitely water resistant and seemingly indestructible and pockets for everything I can think of. I love it
