“I never thought I'd be as obsessed with a backpack as I am. I purchased the Misfit for my commute + work, and I couldn't be happier! I was afraid the regular size backpack would be too large for my petite self, and the slim would be too small to carry my 13" laptop and other accessories. The Misfit is PERFECT! It is just the right size - not too big or too small. The material is so incredibly soft and is such a beautiful color. I would wear this everywhere possible if I didn't want to keep it in pristine condition. The only things I can think of would be that the water bottle pocket doesn't really fit any of my Nalgenes or Hydro Flasks, and I do worry about stains from rain. Other than that, 10/10.”
“It's a really nice backpack and i love how many compartments it has for organizing. Unfortunately the normal size is a bit too big for me (and a little heavy). The slim backpack may be better for petite girls.”
“I purchased one of the misfit backpacks, and honestly its awesome. I love the size and the separate computer compartment. I have not yet used this for travel, but the functionality so far works great for me and how I like to organize my stuff. The material is thick, quality canvas and I can tell the stitching will hold through the wear.”
“I read a few reviews that said that they'd wish they'd gotten the regular over the smaller, but I completely disagree with those reviews. The "smaller" bag is HUGE. I fit so much stuff in there. I'm a 5'5" woman and it fits me perfectly. I love it so much.”
“Ok... so if you're like me and researching the heck out of your next daily backpack, going thru all the pictures, videos and reviews, this review is for you. So this bag has been absolutely amazing. I just LOVE the shape of it and how it holds, fits, and zips. Especially how it holds it shape and keeps upright when you set it down. I love all the precise pockets in the right spots. It holds everything I need for daily commutes and such. And traveling in general. The cord pouch is amazing and holds all my necessary charging cables (iPhone, Watch, Vape, etc) as well as two charging blocks. It fits snug in one of the pockets in the main compartment. The only suggestion I would make is maybe make the straps a little thicker. Not as skinny. This hasn't raised any issues or anything, I'm just thinking long long term, because I have really found my daily commute backpack for LIFE. It will be very hard I believe for me to find one superior to the Day Owl. Also maybe looking at a possible, nice, thick, durable material that could be on the bottom of the bag. I know it's a bag made out of ALOT of recycled materials, and probably want to keep that consistency. So I'm sure it's a challenge. Either way... this bag is it for me. I'm more than likely going to purchase The Backpack (the bigger one I believe) for times I need just a bit bigger bag for more stuff. But I don't think you'll be disappointed. The only thing is if you need something to hold ALOT of stuff, this might not be it. Either way I say give it a try!!
(SIDE REVIEW ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE:)
So I originally bought one of the misfit bags (the slim one) and used a 20% promo code I found online. So got a really great price in the end. Everything went well except during shipping. It left on a Tuesday, and by Thursday on the UPS Tracking website, it said a damage had occurred, and wasn't deliverable. Once I had gotten ahold of DayOwl customer support, they looked into the situation and after a little time had passed, had gotten back to me saying they were just going to ship me a new bag and expedite the shipping! I was delighted. They were so kind and got back quickly. This was something that was NOT their fault and completely out of their control. But they handled the matter like it was. It arrived pretty quick to my house in a really nice, custom sized fitted box. They really put their time into it, and I'm someone who really looks at and appreciates the fine, small details in everything. Even the packaging. After opening the box and examining the bag ALL over, inside and out, I had come to realize they didn't send a misfit bag, but a totally brand new one in the color I picked out!! I was shocked. But was really amazed and thankful, that when I had opened up the bag, there was a brand new Cord Pouch bag inside that was the same color as my bag!!!! I was planning on buying that in a week or so and they gifted me one for all the "trouble." Which is another reason why they went above and beyond in customer service!”
