My Go-To Backpack, Every Single Time!

I own quite a number of backpacks, but when it comes to choosing one for the day, I somehow always find myself reaching for my trusty Essential / Aeropack Backpack (16L). There's just something about this backpack that keeps me coming back. I absolutely love how it feels, how incredibly lightweight it is, and how thoughtfully designed the compartments are. Everything has its place, making it such a joy to use for everyday carry. I've tried plenty of backpacks, but this one has earned its place as my reliable daily companion. It just gets the job done without any fuss! Alpaka has come up with so many fantastic designs, and I've happily added quite a number of your bags to my collection. Keep the awesome designs coming. You guys are making it really hard for me to stop buying bags! 😂 Keep up the excellent work, Alpaka!

Excellent compact EDC backpack

X-Pac material gives just a bit more class to the bag and of course some more weather and stain protection, which is nice. Inside orange accent color is spot on and helps to see what's inside by creating a highlight effect. Looks clean and classy enough to be taken to a meeting room, but works equally well in a more relaxed environment. Accessing the laptop is easy even when the main pocket would be packed quite full. I usually prefer external laptop access, but this setup works just great as well. There's just enough pockets to keep everything organized. Upper outside pocket is felt lined and roomy enough for sun glasses with a case or keys, phone etc. The internal bottle sleeve is a nice add on or option to have in case you have some bottle shape object to carry and keep in place. Top handle works well and is easy to grab the pack with. Carry comfort is good, bag this size does not really need a sternum strap. The zippers work really smoothly although they are YKK AquaGuards. I was not expecting to like the bag this much.

Great travel backpack

Bought this bag specifically because I wanted something that travelled well on planes. The size is perfect and the thoughtful design of the different pockets made it very easy to pack efficiently and retrieve whatever I needed from it. It actually fits well underneath a standard airline seat too. My only gripe is that doesn’t support their chest strap. I know it’s a smaller bag but I think the option to have one is always nice.
