Hello all and asking for assistance. Starting a new job with a commuter slog soon after years of parking in front of the office. My commute will involve a car ride, a bus ride, and a mile walk to get to the office. The office environment is business casual to semi professional mix of IT folks.
I am looking for a bag to carry a few items such as an umbrella, one or two lunch containers (think salads, fruit, sandwiches kind of thing), and a wind shell or lightweight rain jacket on occassion. This bag will not be used for laptop carry.
A word about me. A minimalist at heart. High speed low drag with a sense of style. I like canvas and leather construction as an ultimate, but will gladly take cordura. Styles such as the Orvis Battenkill briefcase fit my personal style well but that is a really large bag for the few items I will carry daily.
The budget I'll cap at $400.00 but hoping not to spend that much. Want quality and durability but don't care about names.
Your thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.

... maybe factory overwaxed? not a bad thing, has "character", but the plastic liner (removable) was all ripped up. I never got to re-wax it or replace the liner... maybe one day.
