I do a lot of commuting to work on my Bicycle (Stumpy FSR Disk), and I'm now in Iceland, the land of fire and ice. I plan on taking the 15AL to work with me most days, but I'm kind of worried about the weather here (LOTS of rain and snow). I don't have a waterproof pack to sling it into, so does anyone know of one that would work for me?

I've looked around and my only requirements are:

- It needs to look fairly professional
- Has to be comfortable while riding and around town
- An extra bonus would be reflective piping or something to that effect.

Anyone have any ideas? I've been looking around and I haven't had much luck. I found a couple of bags at Arc'teryx that are weatherproof, but not necesarily waterproof.

Any help or ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Doug

I have a timbuk2 "commute" bag. It's waterproof and well designed. Plently of pocketa to carry all your accessories and
a "secured" compartment for the laptop.

Don't know about the professional look but you can choose different color or build your own.
