This is my 2nd bike-commuting-specific backpack. My first was a Banjo Brothers Backpack which while waterproof was just bulky and awkward and had only a single large pocket.
This pack is far superior to that pack and also to every other general backpack I've owned.
Pros:
Comfortable weight distribution - it packs more vertically than it does outwards which distributes the weight much more evenly when you are riding.
Laptop section - I work in IT and am a grad student so I haul my laptop everywhere. Having a dedicated padding slot for it just makes things easier for me
Pockets - Main pocket holds laptop and lunch etc, but there is also a slightly smaller outer pocket that has slots for pens and a key fob
Light clip - pretty standard on a cycling pack but I still love the feature
Rain Cover! - So awesome. I think it's much better than having an awkward waterproof pack. Just include the rain fly right in! And you don't even have to remember to bring it since it's built-in. It's been tested in plenty of storms I've ridden through and I've never had any problems.
Cons:
Hip straps are kinda cheap? But they do the job and are removable, so it's not even much of a con
No water/coffee pocket - I just use the Ulock pocket, but it's annoying they don't have one
The pouches on the straps annoyed me at first, but now I use them for phone and keys and find it more of a 'pro' now than a 'con' - but I also don't care about looking cool so others may consider this more of a serious con.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for a quality pack for your commute, even a regular commute but especially if you're commuting by bicycle, this could be a wonderful pack for you. Unlike the previous reviewer I find it quite compact especially compared to other bike-commuter backpacks on the market. If you're used to a messenger bag or a non-commuting bicycle pack like a Camelback style, though, then it may seem bulkier.

Well built bag with a ton of thoughtful features. The best warranty in the business- if anything breaks on the bag, send it in and they will repair it. Loving mine.

I am glad I didn't get the Metron 35, because the Metron 25 is already huge. For the same capacity, this pack is bulkier than other similar products.
Pros:
The pack's construction is very solid, it can take a lot of abuse.
Secure laptop sleeve with a velcro.
Raincover hidden under the flap.
Useful Helmet attachment.
Cons:
Big, ugly cell phone and key pocket sewed on the front of the shoulder straps. I don't understand the design of these things; Why do they stick out so much? Why aren't they removable for those who don't need them? This ruins the otherwise simple and minimalist appearance of the pack.
The U lock pocket on the side of the pack is a bit small. You have to pull real hard on the zipper to close it even with a medium size U lock. It also puts the bag off balance if you don't carry anything heavy in it. So you might as well use the main compartment.
