30L ish pack from Alchemy Equipment collaborating with Carryology to produce a product improved model.
A really premium looking pack with a properly designed harness, that carries a load well and still looks solid for the office. Carries in a very slim profile when low loaded, which makes it excellent for a commuter. Water bottle pocket zips completely flat, giving it a relatively slick look yet expands enough to fit a 1L nalgene. Really nicely designed, in that the front pockets remain useable when the rest of the pack is loaded.
Material is a type of brushed cordura in a very subtle camouflage pattern that is really difficult to photograph and can sort of look like waxed canvas in a certain light, or a feint version of mutlicam black. Base is a thick leather.
Probably best to let the product pages do the talking, plus an excellent review from Bo Isomno as the features aren't really obvious.

Key features:
- airflow raised EVA back system
- Two large pockets on the front which have their own volume (are useable when the pack is stuffed out, rather than being a slip pocket etc).
- Side quick access pocket, good for a phone, wallet etc
- Cordura water bottle pocket with expanding stretch gusset (zips completely flat when not in use).
- Laptop compartment with pull ejection handle
- Internal 'waterproof' zipped pocket
- Bright orange high vis liner.
- Waist belt (stowed in the pictures)
- removable sternum strap

Condition:
Used for about a week to shuffle to and from work. Not used for any outdoor sort of thing. Condition looks excellent and from what I can see is pretty much good as new.
Price:
These are £270 / 300 Euro new. I'm asking £195 posted to UK
