“I was looking for a new, more sleek and compact backpack to bring to and from work, and possibly take on my travels. I came across the Day Owl backpack(The Backpack) through a YouTube video and they looked nice. Not too 'tactical'. Not too many outside pockets, flaps, pouches, etc. So I ordered one.
Now that I've had my backpack for a couple of weeks I can say I am enjoying it very much. I like the construction, the color (Midnight Navy) and the overall quality.
If there was one thing I would change about this bag, having not used it for a long period yet, I would add more organizational features to the inside. More pockets and whatnot to keep things divided if I want. As of now, I'm using individual pouches to keep items sorted.
Another thing to keep in mind is the internal water bottle pouch. I love this feature as it keeps the bag sleek looking, but be mindful of this when you're considering this bag as it (obviously) eats into your internal storage area.”
“Really nice quality. Tons of pockets and a large amount of space. I got the navy color, and it’s really pretty. I hope to use this for many years to come!”
“This is hands down one of the best Backpacks ever. It has enough pockets to be perfectly organized and is roomy enough for your daily needs, even if you need to go grocery shopping after work. If the backpack is very full and heavy the straps may not be the most comfortable but they are comfortable enough for daily use. The quality and craftsmanship is amazing. A teeny tiny let down may be that you have to clean or lint-roll it every now and then as the fabric seems to like lint. However I found my perfect backpack and I am sure I have this bag for years to come.”
“I love my backpack. I have it in the navy blue color and think it looks terrific. It has an understated heritage look which I really enjoy.
It's also has enough compartments and organization without going overboard. This helps to keep the look sleek.
I mostly use it to pack extra layers, snacks and water bottles for myself and my wife when we're out and about. The capacity of the bag is just right for that and I can still throw in small items we might buy.
All in all I'm very happy with this bag as I had never been a back pack person before this because I never found one with the right mix of practicality and laid back styling.”
