Essential Backpack Pro (22L)

Spot on

Have been using the Elements Backpack Pro from Alpaka for some time and have been more than happy with it to be fair but was looking for another work bag I can change when I feel the need to. just purchased the Essentials Pro and I have not been disappointed, great bag and fits my requirememnts perfectly.

Excellent Value for Money – With a Small Capacity Caveat

For the price, the build quality and overall design are excellent. The backpack feels well-made, looks great, and offers practical organization. One thing to keep in mind: depending on what and how you pack, you shouldn’t expect to get the full 22L of usable space. The compartments and layout can limit the actual capacity a bit. Still, an excellent backpack for the money and absolutely worth 5 stars. Highly recommended!

Upgrade Done Right

I used the Essential Pack 16L over the summer as my everyday carry while studying abroad. It was a great bag: it did what I needed it to, was light enough to pack in a suitcase, and looked good, too. I wish they had made a bag with the same simple design, just a bit larger, for when I go back to school in the fall. Usher in the announcement of their rebrand to the Essential Backpack, and they added a Pro option? Couldn't have been happier. Smart bag, smart design, and the integrated side pockets really do it. I use this every day going to and from class and work, and it does just what it's supposed to. 100/10 stars!
