I had been longing for it since around last summer, and I finally purchased it at the end of that year.
It has already been 8 months since I started carrying it on my back.
Over those 8 months, I have been using this DropLinerBag almost every single day, not just for my daily commute, but even for short long-distance rides.
This Truce Designs bag is handmade.
It is the result of the creator himself (Luke Mathers, a great guy living in Portland who enjoys everything from the ocean to the mountains) seeking out the best possible backpack for his own use: the "DropLinerBag".
In any case, it is an incredibly comfortable and cool-looking bag.

They use fabrics that feature state-of-the-art technology in the textile field, such as sailcloth and wetsuit material. These are essential items that can determine whether you can go out into the middle of nowhere on the ocean and make it back alive.
Because they are made from such fabrics, Truce bags are lightweight, waterproof, and highly durable.
In my experience, I have never had a bag that felt this comfortable to carry all day long.
Additionally, the way the storage space is designed—especially the fact that you can attach a hydration pack—is a cool feature.
The flap and outer pockets are truly convenient to use!
It really is a great bag, but if there is one point to be aware of, it’s the pocket on the flap section.
As expected, when using it on a rainy day, a little bit of water does seep in through the zipper and seams on the top.
But having a pocket right there is just so incredibly convenient!
So, during my commute on rainy days, I always keep my valuables inside the main compartment's pocket.
Well then, everyone, please give it a try.
Of course, you are welcome to try on my well-worn, gear-filled bag as well.
Though it is pretty soaked with my sweat, haha.
