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."

Cory

Sustainable From The Ground Up.

Spill-Resistant Bottle Pocket

Lined with water-repellent neoprene, it’s big enough for a wine bottle and strong enough for a wet umbrella.

Padded Laptop Pocket

A separate zippered pocket made to cushion your laptop, or any other precious rectangle. The Backpack fits 16" laptops. The Slim Backpack fits 14" laptops.

Flat Front Pocket

Great for your wallet, pens, and stylus, or your reusable straw and cutlery kit.

Floating Top Pocket

Perfect for glasses, lip balm, or that peach you don’t want to bruise.
