Day Owl Slim Pro Backpack

Before I switched to a tote bag, this was my everyday backpack. I was actually one of the first few hundred people to buy from the brand when they launched, and I’ve been using it ever since.

What I love most is how simple and lightweight it is. Even when I’m carrying a full load, the bag doesn’t feel unnecessarily heavy or bulky. They make it in different sizes, and I went with the 13-inch since I use a smaller MacBook.

It has just the right amount of organization without turning into a bag full of unnecessary compartments. My favorite feature is the dedicated water bottle pocket, which is surprisingly useful.

A simple, well-designed backpack that I’d definitely recommend.
