This is very nearly my dream backpack. The fabric, colors, size, features, and storage are all the holy grail of backpacks, tags far as I’m concerned. I feel like I looked my whole adult life for this backpack, and here it is. It feels solid and well-made, and perfectly fits everything I need for my work day - laptop, water bottle, lunch, and some small odds & ends. And it’s so pleasing to my minimalist aesthetic sensibilities.
My only two complaints are 1) that the padded part on the straps is a bit short, causing the non-padded part to dig into the skin just above my armpits, and 2) the water bottle holder is NOT big enough for the 24oz hydro flask, which was disappointing. It technically fits, but the zipper is so tight at the top, I’m afraid it’s going to break. Seems like an oversight, considering the popularity of that brand.
Regardless, I would definitely recommend this backpack to anyone looking for something simple, organized, and timeless.
