should be comfortable regardless - and water proof is a plus. I like the NorthFace daypacks - but some may think its too much for urban travel. The RS one is ok but i like a bit more rugged design and good features that do well in both hiking- or urban- day trips!

After trying out many, I've come to love my Eagle Creek bag (Daily Shoulder Bag).

Not too big, not too small and easy to keep close to you and in front in crowded areas. I think I paid around $25 through a Swiss Luggage website...I just googled it and searched for the lowest price.
Oh, in terms of water resistance. I recently stood in a downpour during an 8-hour D-day battlefields tour and everything inside was dry. I was amazed!

Lands end also had a small hideaway pack for 12$ or so. It was similar to the RS Day pack in size - but folded up into itself in a pocket. It also had a little bit more robust material in the padded straps than most "hide-away" day packs. But go try out a few to find out what you like. A super flimsy one with heavy items will soon be uncomfortable as its not made for a heavy load - so proper padded shoulders may well be worth $45.
