About Knack

Knack sprang from the simple observation that too many people were carrying too many bags at the same time. This aha moment spurred our passion to live a One Bag Life. So we pulled together a dedicated group of frequent travelers and bag enthusiasts––from Tumi, Coach, North Face, Samsonite, and eBags––to create the one bag that’s clever enough to replace two.

Shop Everyday Carry Backpacks FAQs

What is an everyday carry bag?

An everyday carry (EDC) bag is a bag that is comfortable, lightweight, stylish, and the right size to use every day for carrying your essential gear. A few features to look for are a padded laptop pocket, internal organization pockets, and a water bottle pocket.

What is the best size backpack for daily use?

The best size backpack for daily use depends on your lifestyle and climate. If you’re a minimalist everyday commuter in a warm climate, a 20-30 liter backpack will do (i.e. a small or medium Knack Pack). But if you commute or travel with a lot of tech and gear, or live in a cold climate that requires extra pairs of thick clothing, you might want to opt for a 30-45 liter backpack (i.e. a medium or large Knack Pack).

All Knack Packs are expandable to increase their carrying capacity. They’re also carry-on friendly so you can save time and money at the airport.
Can you use a backpack as an everyday bag?

Backpacks are great for everyday bags as they stay secure and comfortable when walking down the street, commuting on a subway, or riding a bike. Knack Packs were specially designed to be everyday carry bags, with features like a padded laptop pocket, expandable packing compartment, water bottle pocket and organization pockets.

What to carry in an everyday backpack?

Your everyday carry checklist should depend on your lifestyle. If you’re a working professional, you should generally carry a laptop, chargers, an external power supply, a water bottle, a pen and notepad, and a sweater or jacket for cold offices.

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!"

R.F.

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.

Ikie L.

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.

V.C.

Finally found the perfect bag! I've tried many and always found something I didn't like. Really wanted something expandable that I could use day to day, yet expand for my longer trips. If I'm driving or flying, I can pack my clothes needed, unpack and the hotel, and shrink my bag back to a perfectly suitable day bag size!
