About Knack

Finally, say goodbye to the hassle of juggling multiple bags! Knack sprang from a simple observation that too many people were carrying too many bags at the same time, leading to an epidemic of overloaded shoulders and cluttered lives.

We pulled together a passionate group of frequent travelers and bag enthusiasts (from Tumi, Coach, North Face, Samsonite, and eBags) and created a revolutionary expandable backpack that transitions as easily from work to working out as it does from a client meeting to a weekend with friends. We called this backpack a Knack Pack and it was the first everyday bag that’s clever enough to replace two.

While Knack today is more than just backpacks, each of our products’ innovative designs and thoughtful features continues to help you effortlessly carry everything you need, while keeping you organized and hands-free at the same time. Experience the difference that Knack makes in every journey.

Testimonials

"I’ve been using this backpack for over a year. I use it as my daily work bag with laptop, notebooks, etc. It has fantastic storage, is very sturdy and still looks great after heavy daily use. It expands to be a roomy weekend bag and also a great carry-on overflow bag for longer trips. I’ve tried a number of high-end backpacks and briefcases, and this is by far the best. Highly recommend!"

Very nice backpack that doubles as a weekend suitcase. Lightweight, roomy and expandable. It looks very sleek and quality and would work great for business travel or an everyday carry bag.

I LOOOOOVE this bag. So much. I used it for travel (which is why I bought it) and worked great. I am using it for work everyday now. It fit under the airplane seat, even expanded.

EDC Backpack FAQs

What is an everyday carry (EDC) backpack?

An everyday carry (EDC) backpack is designed to comfortably organize the daily essentials you carry to work, school, travel, or wherever the day takes you. The best EDC backpacks combine comfort, organization, durability, and a professional design that works across different settings.

When choosing an EDC backpack, look for features such as a padded laptop sleeve or dedicated laptop compartment, multiple compartments, zippered pockets, mesh pockets, interior and external pockets, and adjustable padded shoulder straps. These features keep your gear organized and make everyday items easy to access.

For commuters and travelers, an expandable main compartment can make an EDC bag even more versatile. Knack Packs are designed as everyday backpacks that transition from the office to the airport, with organized storage for daily carry and additional packing space when you need it.

What is the best size backpack for daily use?

The best size for an everyday backpack depends on how much gear you carry and how you use your bag. A 20-30 liter backpack is generally well suited to minimalist daily carry, while a 30-45 liter backpack provides more room for work gear, travel essentials, extra clothing, or other items you need throughout the day.

If you commute with a laptop, chargers, water bottle, and other daily essentials, look for a backpack with a dedicated laptop compartment, multiple interior pockets, and a spacious main compartment. If you regularly travel, an expandable backpack gives you the flexibility to increase your carrying capacity without carrying a larger bag every day.

Knack Packs are expandable, so you can use them as a streamlined commuter backpack for everyday carry and expand the packing compartment when you need additional space for travel.

What should I look for in the best EDC backpack?

The best EDC backpack should make your everyday gear comfortable to carry, easy to organize, and quick to access. For work and commuting, look for a combination of comfort, organization, laptop protection, durability, and professional style.

Important features include:
A padded laptop sleeve or dedicated laptop compartment
Adjustable padded shoulder straps for comfortable everyday carry
Multiple compartments for organizing gear and essentials
Zippered pockets for valuables and smaller items
Mesh pockets and interior pockets for easy organization
External pockets for items you need quick access to
A spacious main compartment for larger items
Durable materials such as nylon
An expandable compartment for additional travel capacity
A chest or sternum strap if you carry heavier loads

The right features depend on your lifestyle. Someone carrying a laptop and office essentials may prioritize organization and laptop protection, while a traveler or photographer may need additional room for clothing, camera gear, or other equipment.

For a professional commuter, the ideal EDC bag should work just as naturally in the office as it does on the road.

Can an EDC backpack replace a work bag and travel bag?

Yes. An expandable EDC backpack can serve as both a work bag and travel bag, particularly if it combines a professional design with organized storage and flexible capacity.

For everyday work, look for a dedicated laptop compartment, padded laptop sleeve, multiple compartments, zippered and mesh pockets, and comfortable padded shoulder straps for carrying your daily essentials. When it's time to travel, an expandable main compartment can provide additional room for clothing, toiletries, and other travel gear.

Knack Packs are designed around this office-to-airport versatility. You can carry your laptop and everyday essentials in a streamlined commuter backpack, then expand the bag when you need more packing space for a trip.

That makes an expandable EDC bag a practical option for people who want one backpack for daily carry, work, commuting, and travel rather than switching between multiple bags.
