Troubadour Apex 3.0

I have the troubadour Apex 3.0 and is amazing, not sure why the hate.

I can also vouch for the Troubadour Apex 3.0. (like u/rbforward suggested).

Saying that the Troubadour Apex 3.0 (super sleek too) is a great bag too, but without the shoe pocket.

I would look these: Troubadour Apex 3.0, Toshi and Sympl Studios Commuter 2.0 all are full backpack and don’t meet all the criteria’s but they are all sleek.

Mine is the Apex 3.0 by Troubadour. I use it mainly for the office. But sometimes I take it out with me on a day hike. The waterproofing is one of the reasons I chose it. It’s also got a laptop sleeve, and it’s big enough for yours.

The Troubadour Apex 3.0 is 25L. It’s got a compartment big enough for a 17 inch laptop. Just checked the measurements. It’s 15 cm deep, so I think it might be the exact size that you’re looking for. I also commute on public transportation, and it’s just fine for me on crowded days. It’s not too heavy either, and it is water-resistant.

The Apex 3.0 from Troubadour is my daily commute backpack. I have a 17” laptop in it each day, along with my cables, some other work stuff, and some personal supplies. The material that it’s made out of is pretty unique; it is recycled from plastic water bottles. So, it is water-repellent. I’ve had to jog through downpours a few times, and my computer stayed fully dry, so I can testify that it works.

I personally own this backpack, and it’s wonderful. I would definitely advise reconsidering and spending the small amount of extra.
