If you’re looking for a stylish everyday backpack with space for the daily essentials, check out the DB Base 15L daypack. Its roomy side pocket fits everything you’ll need for that daily commute to work. When using it, I usually bring along a hoodie/jacket, laptop charger, a couple hard drives, and other chargers, and there’s still a little extra room. The pocket structure is a little different though. Rather than having a zipper along the top of the bag like your traditional backpack, the DB Base has a single zipper along the side of the bag. It’s great for compartmentalizing the single pocket, as you can access the entire pack once opened. It did take a little bit of getting used to.
Something I really like about this bag is its hookup system, which integrates with the rest of the DB line of bags. It has loops along the outside of the bag and hooks along the top, so you can attach it to any other DB duffel, suitcase or ski bag, making it travel extremely well with multiple bags through airports. The bag is super comfortable, made with a high density foam back and leather straps. It’s hardly noticeable on my back.
