I used a citizen for work for a while, it was great, really well made and thought out but absolutely massive. I found it a lot less useful than a backpack for anything other than multi drop courier work when you have to access it frequently because when it's full it's extremely heavy and the single strap can dig in to you a fair bit. I think I sold mine for about £50 so might be worth keeping an eye out for a secondhand one!

okay cheers, i feared that may be the case, but it doesn't look like you get that much in the mini version...
I've got an ortlieb (velocity?) backpack which I've had for prob 10 years which has been amazing but is dying. The right thing to do is just get another, but fancied a change, and some compartments.

Just looking at the chrome citizen bag, looks great, but the one I'd get is £189 vs 160 USD in the US. Which at current fx is $99 more expensive (60% - mad) which makes me think that's not good value.
Given not many updates on this thread for a while, any strong current alternatives or thoughts?
