Description

The Backpack Pro is the perfect office mate/gym partner/wing...bag? We designed it to be super functional while keeping the design minimal and clean. It fits a 16in laptop in a padded external sleeve, the insulated neoprene sleeve fits a 32oz water bottle, but it’ll also fit your smelly workout clothes or a wet umbrella (we actually designed to hold a bottle of wine). It all comes in materials that don’t get any more sustainable. The Backpack Pro has the lowest carbon footprint of any professional backpack on the market.

Details

  • The Backpack Pro is 21 Liters with dimensions of 12" x 5" x 17".
  • Padded laptop pocket: fits up to a 16” laptop
  • Spill-resistant bottle pocket: fits up to a 750 mL water (or wine) bottle
  • Floating top pocket: perfect for glasses, lip balm, or other small items
  • Flat front pocket: great for your wallet, pens and stylus, or your reusable straw and cutlery kit
  • Secret side pocket: perfect for your keys, phone, or small wallet
  • Dimensions: 17"H x 12"W x 5"D
  • Weight: 2.4 lb

"Nothing compares. I was looking for a backpack that was 1) professional enough that I didn't feel like a little kid wearing it, 2) well laid out enough that I wouldn't have to take every single item out of the backpack if I needed to get at something at the bottom, and 3) large enough to fit my laptop, my lunch, and my knitting. I've been using it near-daily. and the Day Owl backpack meets all three of those criteria! I love the fact that they manage to fit a top pocket, two side pockets, and a front pocket without it ever feeling bulky."
Annora
" I absolutely love the backpack - so cleverly designed AND sustainable. It’s like finding a unicorn! Purchasing and shipping were seamless. Dedicated to high-quality, long-lasting, and sustainable products, with great website design and customer support to boot. What more do you want a company to be?"
Tracey
" Found it! The perfect backpack to travel for work, fun, whatever that has a spot for all your gear but doesn't look like gear. Casual enough for a day hike, sleek enough for a conference. Absolutely love it. Could not be happier with all the pockets, (THAT WATER BOTTLE SLEEVE - GENIUS) the size, the comfort. Seriously. Love."
