“I love my bag! Its pockets help me to stay organized in a way that other backpacks haven’t. I’m especially a fan of the top pocket for smaller items. Overall it’s a great bag and I’m considering purchasing its full-sized form in the future.”
“was eyeing this bag for a while and so glad I got it. love all the little pockets and its the perfect size for my laptop, iPad and a notebook if I need one”
“Decent backpack. I can tell that it's constructed well and doesnt feel big or like youre going off to class. If you are purchasing, I would keep in mind that the slim does NOT carry much, but part of the reason I bought the slim was to only bring the essentials for a trip, so I dont mind being forced to edit. i bring it sketching and like to put the 7x10 sketchbook in the laptop pocket so that it's easy to access.(any larger sketchbook wouldnt fit in here-rn ive got one of the canson xl ones with the ring binding. I've also put my ipad 10 inch in there and it fits fine. Both together fit tightly, but im usually bringing one or the other.
I find myself frustrated with the front pocket. I thought i might be able to put a (ringed) sketchbook or a paperback in there but it's too small for both (for the paperback if it was just like an INCH taller itd fit) I just put loose bits of paperstuff in there. Likewise, the interior pockets feel useless to me. when i have anything else in the main pocket theyre hard to reach and get anything in and out of. With a water bottle in the water bottle pocket you lose about a third of the interior space in the main compartment- the backpack does look sleek, but I think that I wouldnt mind having an exterior water bottle holder if it meant that I could use the entire interior space of the main compartment. I usually carry with me an A5 sized bag inside there (exterior 10.7x7.5) to carry my supplies and it would be nice to be able to slot it in upright rather than on its side.
Overall i feel like this bag is more of a purse replacement than a backpack, but it's still suits most of my needs. I'm happy to get it as a Misfit and thus discounted, i feel like it'll last a long time.”

“Are you kidding me! I wish I had discovered Day Owl YEARS ago when they came aboard the purse/napsack/ruicksack/bookbag...whatever you call it. I just received my backpack and crossbody yesterday. I AM IN LOVE! I'm using the crossbody as a purse, and the Slim Backpack as a laptop/everything else carrier. I am DONE with the expensive, leather, "cutesie" purses for LIFE. I will be purchasing a "regular-sized" backpack in the next few days. I love what Day Owl is doing with recycling and sleek designs. The storage is ridiculous. The size of the bag does not at all hint at how much it stores. It's like pulling up to a "plain" house on the outside, but then once you get inside you're like "Wow, had no idea it would be this nice inside..." I purchased a backpack for my teenaged son last year (because he's picky and stylish), and after seeing his on his back after dropping off/picking up daily from high school, I started getting jealous and wanted my own. Day Owl has got something going on here, and I'm about to go broke buying all their products. GO DAY OWL!”

“The slim backpack is my absolute fave! I’m a teacher.. and my iPad, clunky laptop, water bottle, and ungraded papers take a ride with me each day. IYKYK. My flair pens, sunglasses, wallet, and lip gloss also fit perfectly! I use the Day Owl packable tote for my lunch… and am able to shove that sucker in the backpack when I’m done! When I travel (Hello summer #teacherlife!) I use my Day Owl backpack as a personal item… which fits perfectly under the seat in front and holds ALL travel essentials. I could go on and on about these products.. they’re compact, durable, sleek, functional, and the zippers work seamlessly!!! I’m not gonna lie… I have 3 backpacks… 2 regulars and a slim. Gotta have options to go with all the middle school theme days!”

“This is the PERFECT backpack. I spent a long time researching backpacks with very specific criteria in mind. I almost spend several hundred on one before finding Day Owl. It’s perfect for business traveling. It stands up on its own (no leaning or falling when full), and it’s really easy to access items through exterior pockets. Also the water bottle pocket is insulated - my water bottle opened during a flight and none of my items got wet. Definitely get this bag!”
