Gig Backpack Recommendations?

Hey DJTT Community :slight_smile:, I’m a young DJ in Miami and I started gigging on a weekly basis a couple months ago and I’ve found my current laptop Bag to be slightly inadequate for my current needs. I was wondering if you guys could make me a recommendation for a solid backpack that’s Under $100 that can fit my needs. It needs to be able to comfortably hold:

15" Laptop w/ Charger
Focusrite Scarlet 2i4 Interface
Novation Launchpad Pro
Headphones (Held in my Slappa Case)
Cables (3x USB, 2x RCA plus backups)
and other odds and ends.

Waterproof would be great, but optional
If it looks kinda stylish too that would be a plus :slight_smile:

P.S If there is already another thread on this, I would appreciate a link to it because I couldn’t find one when I searched.

this should do the trick.

i have this exact bag and usually take this bag out gigs, which holds my backup set up:

  • 15 inch mbp w/ charger
  • scarlet 2i4
  • x1 mk2
  • small box kit that contains odd conveters, backup USB’s, extra money
  • 3x usb cables
  • 3x RCA cables
  • Headphones

anything more is too much, so this backpack is on the small side of things. but it works pretty well and is small enough to jump in a uber/cab without having to pop a trunk.

Here are some more gear-specific options.. PSSL
I’ve personally been eyeing the Magma and Odyssey lines lately.

It’s a little on the high end, but the Mono Flyby is absolutely amazing. Especially if you have controllers to carry.
