“Work, enjoy or do both knowing you are saving the environment by using this amazing, upcycled backpack. The backpack had the perfect number of pockets, sturdy, well designed and backed by an amazing warranty and customer service.”
“Because of the price I spent a long time thinking about this purchase before buying. I finally treated myself and after a couple of weeks of using my backpack, I'm happy to say it was 100% worth it! I wish I had bought it sooner- it's so spacious and all the pockets keep me organized despite usually having to pack for work/class/the gym in one day. It has already saved me once by keeping my laptop dry when I got caught in a thunderstorm without an umbrella. I was soaked head to toe and terrified my laptop would be ruined but my laptop and notebooks were all safe and dry. Recommending to everyone I know :)”
“Super happy with my Day Owl backpack. I've been using a real hiking backpack by a sporting goods company, and was wondering if the shoulder straps of the Day Owl would be as comfortable (since I have a damaged disc in lower back, so this is an issue). And much to my shock and delight -- the Day Owl is BETTER -- straps and overall construction of the bag are great, more effortless feeling than my sporting/hiking old bag. Very happy with this bag!”
“The backpack is very uncomfortable and digs into my spine.
My wife bought me The Backpack for fashion and environmental purposes. And on those fronts, the bag is great and the brand seems great.
Where it falls very short is comfort. My 20-year-old JanSport feels better...
I like the other aspects of the pack, so I'm debating whether it's worth suffering vs creating more waste and buying a less environmental pack elsewhere.
I just wish the bag felt as good as it looks.
PS - I'm a 5'10", 170 lbs, I think average-sized person.
I wonder if my bag is defective because I cannot image no one else has had this problem.”

“I love this backpack :) Although it was very expensive for a broke college student, I'm glad I got it. It can fit so much and remains the same compact shape. The material is nice and feels very durable. The first thing I did with it was cram a week's worth of clothes inside for a family trip and the zippers held up very well. I love that they put the individual number on the zipper, and I like how there's a separate water bottle pocket. The laptop pocket is great too, it fits my 14 inch laptop no problem, with a little room leftover. My only complaint is that the straps don't tighten enough. I made them the tightest I could, but it still feels like it's kinda too loose and hangs back. I wouldn't mind but I got this bag so I could fit a lot of stuff in it, so it gets heavy and the loose fit hurts my back. If I had known I probably would have gotten the smaller backpack. But if you're taller than 5 foot or you have broad shoulders, it probably wouldn't be a problem for you!”
