About the same but minus the metro card and credit card and plus sunglasses. As a slightly related aside, those people on the Superfuture EDC forum have problems.

What's cool about it, is that I have used it for 10 years now (it is really a camping day pack) and can store all this stuff comfortably.

a backpack? f*ck...

A change of clothes. Keep it in your car or office of course.

Lately, I've been commuting into work quite early in the morning, and have no time to change, thus I've just started getting a few shirts boxed from the cleaners to keep in my desk, a'la Don Draper.

well there's a recipe for disaster...

Mine - very little. It holds my laptop, a small notepad, a couple of pens. I keep my travel wallet in the back of it with my passport and various travel docs as reqd.

That's all.

I'm not a woman.
