Medium Expandable Knack Pack®

I purchased this bag in March - just as the US went into lock-down. As with any new parent, I had big dreams for my new baby. We were going to commute every day to work together, fly on airplanes, take day trips, and even go on a cruise (or three) this year. Alas, not everything goes to plan.

But let me tell you how awesome this bag is, because I promise you no other bag is as comfortable when traveling from your office to your living room. It is lightweight yet sturdy and has padding where needed. The padding is particularly important because of any accidental drops thanks to your 100lb dogs or their poorly-placed toys. Also, the straps are perfectly padded and evenly distributes the weight as you walk down (or up) the stairs.

I have a roomy compartment for my Dell XPS 13" in the dedicated laptop compartment with easy access. The main compartment always has my notebooks ((2) 9x7 and (1) 8x11). I still have my small med bag in one of the internal upper compartments (who knows why right now).

On the outside, the cell phone pocket is a great spot to forget where you actually put your cell phone. I have a Pixel 2 XL and it has plenty of space in the top pocket to be lost for a solid 15 minutes. The bottom zipper compartment I use for my charging cord. There's nothing worse than one percent of battery remaining yet being a solid room away from your charger. On the plus side, it is narrow yet roomy enough to put other necessary cords in that compartment too.

I was pleasantly surprised to see my 25oz waterbottle juuuuuust fit in the designated pocket and still zippers 95%-ish. This is very important because trekking upstairs to the office is a very long distance and hydration is important. I will say it takes some of the space from the interior of the bag - something to keep in mind if you are debating Medium vs. Large. Nothing major and doesn't bother me, just something to note.

I don't want to brag, but we did go outside to my backyard this one time and did work on the back patio. I had to work on something else so everything was put back in the bag but left the bag on the table. It started to rain and I'm proud to say the few minutes it was outside did not damage any of the things inside the bag (no water through). Not sure if this was by design, but just feedback - it appears a small rainstorm won't affect your contents.

Someday we'll venture on a trip. Until then, this is the perfect little quarantine bag. #TeamSangria

I can't say enough about my medium Sangria Red Knackpack. I also own the small stealth black Knackpack, I LOVE them both. Great durability, organization, and of course the travel expandability. That red on the medium is very pleasing, I get alot of compliments on it, and questions about where I got it. I also bought two medium and one large packing cubes and just recently the new medium packing insert (get that in two more days). Knacks products are awesome. Suggestion : maybe on the next iteration add and option to add load lifters on the medium and large bags and add a secret compartment for passports, wallets, and cash to the rear panel? Just a thought. I love the Knack products and company and I'm looking forward to having a long consumer relationship with them going forward 👍🏾

Ample pockets for storage. The bag looks great and is very sturdy and comfortable to carry. I love that it is expandable. Very happy with my purchase.

There's a place for everything. Bag looks great, solid construction & spacious without being bulky. I was packed & ready to go, but ... well you know the rest (March 2020).

I travel once or twice a month on short (2-3 day) trips. I spent about a month looking for a backpack that was not very large but could handle 3 day travel. I decided to take a chance on the expandable knack pack. I ordered a small and a medium and they were delivered promptly. I opened both bags and quickly decided the medium was the right size for me. It didn't feel too big and most importantly didn't interfere with an iPhone 11 Max in my back pocket. All of my previous backpacks hung so low that it made it difficult to walk with the large phone in my back pocket.

The backpack is amazing. I use it on a daily basis to carry my 13.3" laptop, iPad pro, some papers/folders, sunglasses, chargers, hat/scarf, emergency snacks, a camera, and a few other small items. For the relatively small form factor it fits everything with ease.

For weekend travel I unzip and expand the back of the bag and in addition to everything I carry daily, I can now carry toiletries and 2 change of clothes. The bag is suprisingly comfortable to wear even when fully loaded.

I can not be happier with this purchase. The size is right and it does everything I need it to do. Highly recommend.

Oh, forgot to mention I also have a water bottle in the bag at all times. Fits that too.

I bought this to use for travel and school. I love all of the compartments and how it's waterproof. Overall great quality. I'm going to Japan in a couple months so that'll put the pack to the test. I'll update this review later after the trip.

Creative design, quality materials! If it holds up for a long time with daily use it will be a winner!

I think I debated getting this bag for 4-5 months for no other reason than I had been burned by so many other backpacks, but I will say I absolutely love this thing! You can fit a couple days worth of clothes in there, it feels very light on your shoulders and they look even better in person. I would highly recommend getting 1-2 packing cubes, I bought one and it worked WAY better than I expected it too. The only thing I wish they would add is more pockets in the front compartment that had zippers and a secret pocket area for a passport. I don't personally like the idea of keeping a passport in the front pocket. Aside from that everything works well! Oh and if you're like me and you need to have a water bottle at all times, the hydroflask fits perfect.

Got this bag for short business trips. Just used it and was easily able to fit 2 outfits, headphones, computer etc.. could really have fit another outfit as well. Appears well made and very functional.

Bought this recently to replace a swiss army bag. needed to upgrade my style to more professional. Very pleased so far with this. Already received several compliments. it is very well made. had plenty of room and looks great
