## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   High-quality craftsmanship and reliable materials are used in creating this pack.
-   The main compartment is waterproof so you won't have to worry when the weather goes south.
-   Comfortable to use even when fully loaded because of good padding.
-   Sleek urban design that would fit in most activities and environments.

### Things to consider

-   Can be a bit pricey but you're paying for the great quality of the bag.
-   The back padding allows minimal airflow to your back which might leave your back sweating.
-   The small external pocket may be a bit difficult to use if the bag is fully packed.

## Reviews from around the web

**Inside Line Equipment Default Backpack :: Drive By**
[www.carryology.com](https://www.carryology.com/bags/inside-line-equipment-default-backpack-drive-by/)

> The Default can carry a heap. For those of us who juggle study, work and play – especially by bike – the Default’s got you covered for carrying capacity. Even with bulky martial arts pads (sparring helmet not in the picture), uniform, jeans (yes, I was wearing bike shorts), lecture notes, Kindle and water bottle, the Default was still less than ¾ full.

**Inside Line Equipment Default rucksack**
[road.cc](https://road.cc/content/review/111171-inside-line-equipment-default-rucksack)

> This is the kind of build quality you find in bags used all day, every day by professional couriers who need a bag to be reliable; ordinary mortals can probably expect to pass this bag down to their children. Looked at that way, £170 is still a lot of money, but it's not unreasonable for the quality and likely longevity.

**Gear Review: Inside Line Equipment Default Bag**
[maxthecyclist.wordpress.com](https://maxthecyclist.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/gear-review-inside-line-equipment-default-bag/)

> You can see what you get with this pack; it’s a lifetime investment and a simple, intuitive product that eliminates challenges. Carrying a backpack every day makes feeling prepared easy. It’s very convenient having a raincoat, a camera, or a snack at hand no matter what I’m doing. I needed this pack to be convenient, durable, comfortable, and secure. It’s all of those things. The purse has ruled for long enough; I embrace the backpack.
