Ask HN: Laptop bag for 15“ Macbook Pro for inclement weather

3 points·tmaly··5 comments

I frequently take Metro North Railroad in the Northeast of the US. Since we have all four seasons of weather, I am looking for a comfortable laptop bag that is easy to walk with, waterproof/water-resistant, and easy to open and use in lap to code while on the train. What would you suggest for a 2015 15 inch MacBook pro?

My favorite source of laptop bags for several years now has been Waterfield Designs: http://sfbags.com

Although I tend towards custom-fit sleeve cases that I can slide into the other things I own (such as my trusty LL Bean backpack), all of their bags have a great quality and seem durable enough to likely last well against the weather. There's also a bunch of nice touches, such as their messenger bags use "airplane buckles" for easy one-handed access.

the city slicker bag looks really nice.

Though they don't make mine specifically anymore (http://imgur.com/a/6LtYY) oakley has some great, rugged bags.

Very rugged bags and I've carried 3 15 inch laptops in mine at once.
