Hi guys,
Need a waterproof backpack to protect contents on way to/from work.
Doesn’t seem to be many options? I’m spending too much time trying to find something. Seems to be a niche product? Anyone already ventured down this path?
Thanks for looking.

Ortlieb backpacks are waterproof. Their products are well worth the price premium and last forever

A backpack with rain cover should do the trick.
My deuter 'Bike i 20' backpack has a fluoro yellow cover integrated into a zipped compartment in the bottom. It can be quickly deployed if required. I've commuted in heavy rain and not had the backpack contents get wet.

Whats your budget? Ive got a deuter Amager 25 and its epic, looks smart enough to use off the bike too. Not cheap, but one bag to do everything.
