Mr CdnTraveller and CdnTraveller Jr will be flying to the USA later this month. CdnTraveller Jr is never parted from his laptop, so his choice will be our most compact laptop case. Since they don't need two laptops on the trip, and even the smallest of backpacks seem to be verboten, that leaves the question as to what Mr. CdnTraveller will carry?

This is the best I have found so far (in black of course), but will most certainly be designated by Mr CdnTraveller as "too much like a purse"

Anyone have any "manlier" suggestions that might sit better with Mr CdnTraveller?
