“So glad to have the original from Kickstarter for one reason, and that’s the side handle. It turns the backpack into a professional backpack briefcase and it’s wonderful. Padding in the back is great, and just to give you an idea on room I added a padded insert to the main compartment to carry my full frame dslr, an extra lens or external flash (depending on needs), mini tripod head and flat mount, and iPad Pro in the rear pocket, three extra batteries on the side along with with charger and clicker for camera, hand sanitizer and masks like crazy (it’s 2020 guys), phone in the front along with notebook and pens, business cards and other bits in the top (sometimes it’s candy). I’ve also used it to pack for two days of travel with a camera and trail mix. Not for the faint of heart. Bottom line is it’s roomy.”
“Grey, smaller. It was a little out of my price range, but i wanted to support the cause. I'm going to get the larger one, too. It's worth every penny. I use the top and side handles way more than i thought i would. and i didn't think the bottle holder was a big deal, bc i never used the stretchy net one on my old pack. I use this one ALL THE TIME. maybe bc you can't tell I'm toting water? It's totally protected? idk, but i love it. Padded laptap section - peace of mind. Well thought out and designed pack.”
“I love the backpack! I bought the black one. Not only is the material it’s made of incredible, it’s extremely useable and cute too! The outer fabric is durable and high quality, the inner fabric manages to be soft. I love that the water bottle pocket is lined with a neoprene, that’s a really REALLY nice touch. Having a small backpack that can hold a water bottle that doesn’t fall out every time you bend over is a great thing. The backpack is really useable and manages to have all the pockets/space for your day to day necessities, and some extra room for the odds and ends you might want to bring along too! Overall I couldn’t be happier I bought this, and I’m very excited to use it forever!”
“Wow! I didn’t think I’d love this backpack as much as I do, but it’s amazing!! Great quality and a pocket for everything you could ever need... my favorite is the water bottle pocket, I love how it zips up because I always struggled with my water bottle falling out of my North Face backpack occasionally. Great material- I have a feeling it will last me a long time. If you’re on the edge about buying one, do it!!”
“I originally ordered the smaller version of the backpack and it was shipped quickly! However, I realized the larger would be better suited for my size (5'8") so I did an exchange and am so happy. I've used this backpack multiple times for trips, bike rides to the store, etc. I love the pockets and the grey color is so nice and is aging well. I am trying to buy more sustainable everyday items and I love how this company offers free fixes for life! Thankfully haven't needed to use it yet and I recommend this backpack!”
“I've been pretty strict on not going out and about during quarantine times, so i haven't had a chance to have any adventures with my day owl. But my impression is that It's very well built and structured. I love the deep main pocket with the fully unzippable front because i leave it on its back unzipped on my desk so i can just grab what i need easily (charger cables, pens, etc) and easily zip it up and move to the couch. I was eyeing it for a year and was thinking it'd be awesome on my travels,e specially has my carry on bag so i can access my kindle or headphones or notebook easily. But for now, I'm using it as a house bag”
