OK, I see your point. However, backpacks are certainly preferable to shoulder bags when going from point A to point B (I don't use wheeled cases) and are less likely to whack people when walking down the aisle of a plane than, say, a shoulder bag. Also, the backpacks that I use (Goruck, Tom Bihn, Red Oxx) are not hiking/backpacking packs with heavy shoulder harnesses, hip belts, and straps hanging all over the place, but are sleek, functional bags which do not take up a great deal of space.

I feel the same about those with wheeled luggage especially when they are pulling their bag with a briefcase attached and texting because they block about 6 of space and walk at a snails pace.

Hello,
Here are some criteria:
-Can be put under an airplane seat in economy
-Great weight distribution
-Easy access to a 15" MacBook pro and a Microsoft Surface 3 (non-Pro model), both of which will be in their own respective cases within the backpack
-At least as much capacity or close to the 40L size I have now
-Water resistant (can walk around in heavy rain without the contents getting wet)
-Good warranty (preferably lifetime, but I am flexible about this)
-Some tactical molle is strongly preferred
-Support for external access to two 40oz Klean Kanteens (or a similar capacity bottle) - I like the elastic mesh water bottle holders that I currently have, but smaller bottles will fall out easily since they have been stretched. It it is a tactical bag without built in water bottle holders, but molle that will support attaching water bottle holders, this is ok too.
-If there are waist straps present, the option to remove them

What I love about the goruck line of products is how tightly the bags fit to your back without turning you into a turtle. This greatly reduces the odds of whacking people, even amongst the most uncoordinated.
