snagged that selkirk day backpack half off just in time for the 4 train

haha yeah that padded envelope trick works for the commute too. my two littles were yelling over zoom calls this morning while i packed it up and it still felt comfy on my shoulder. the side pockets are a lifesaver when the 4 is packed and i need my water bottle quick. only thing is the strap padding could be a tad thicker after a long ride but for the price im not complaining at all.

i was side eyeing these selkirk bags at full price for weeks thinking the zippers and straps would feel cheap for a commute bag. ended up pulling the trigger on the sale after seeing your pic and yeah the support on the back panel fixed my doubt completely. that padded section kept my laptop from shifting around on the 4 train this morning. would grab another in a heartbeat if they restock the black one.

that black one looks perfect for my early runs, i throw my wireless earbuds and a couple protein bars in the side pockets and it barely moves while i sweat through intervals. the open ear safety thing is key for me on the 4 train too, glad yours showed up quick
