Daypack Pro

The Tortuga Daypack Pro has become my favorite backpack for both travel and everyday use. Great balance of high-quality materials but is still incredibly light and compact, making it perfect for any trip. On my recent weekend getaway to Los Angeles, it easily fit inside my carry-on and then served as my daypack for exploring the city.

At home, I use it in my daily routines like going to work at a coffee shop, it fits my laptop, notebook, and lunch without a problem.

For being so light I'm surprised at the quality and comfort of the straps and back panel.,

I used this backpack on my trip to Austria. It was a great personal item. I needed to maximize my luggage allowance while remaining within the airline limits of what I could bring, so I packed my Tortuga Travel Backpack Lite as my carryon and the Day Pack Pro as a personal item. I liked the two backpack look since it made me feel like a “true” backpacker (lol), but it also gave me piece of mind knowing that Tortuga's bag sizes are accurate for airlines. Despite carrying two bags, I had no problems with immigration due to their size and the day pack pro made it easy for me to take my laptop and liquids in and out during the screening. After I arrived in Austria, the Daypack Pro proved to be really useful. It came with me everywhere. I took it to the gym, hiking, and even lake trips, and I intend to take it on my upcoming overnight train trip. I like how the backpack easily fits my laptop because of the designated storage, but it still has a large main compartment. Most importantly, I enjoy that the bag is lightweight. When I'm not using it, I put it in my Travel Backpack Lite, and the weight is not even noticeable.

This is the perfect size for a one bag trip for two or three days. And if you are a minimalist you could use it as your only bag for an extended trip. This bag is only 21 liters, but it is deceivingly large. It doesn't have much organization (which is a good thing from my perspective) which allows for more usable space for packing cubes and toiletry kit. It easily fits the larger peak design packing cube with plenty of extra room for more gear or smaller packing cubes. It weighs only 1 pound and appears very well built. It may not last a lifetime but at this price point and form factor if you get 3-5 years from this bag it has paid for itself several times over. Very happy with this purchase. Just buy...... You won't regret it. Very versatile bag that can be used as a day pack or for one bag travel. *****

I just got mine and it’s become my new day bag for work.

I put my laptop, a rain coat, phone, keys and a small pocket notebook and pen. It’s perfect for summer because it doesn’t trap heat on my back and the straps are comfortable.

I only wish it had a D ring on the strap on the front to clip my AirPods onto for travel.

Otherwise, perfect.
