The Arcteryx Brize 25 had become my unexpectedly beloved everyday carry pack. It's tall and thin, not at all bulky. Makes you realize how most other packs are designed to be "dumpy" — that is, unnecessarily wide, kind of flopping on the back.
The bottle holders on the sizes are perfect (can pull drinks out without taking pack off), and it easily holds 13" MacBook Pro + 10.5" iPad + Kindle + notebook + papers + chargers, etc. Weight distribution is great. Outer styling is super minimalist. It's just a solid, solid pack.
