DSPTCH Daypack Review
"Solid Softgood"
The Daypack from DSPTCH is an American made favorite daily carry bag for many serious bag geeks.
- Simple, unassuming aesthetic…
- Robust back panel and straps…
- Just enough organization for some, but others will feel like there isn’t enough built in organization.
- Made real well in the USA
More on the DSPTCH Daypack
What I like
- Perfect little size, simple organization, utilitarian. Bag geeks love this bag.
- The back panel and straps. A bit of stiffness, luscious utilitarian mesh, removable luggage strap.
- The handle. Simple, but I'd rather carry it by the handle half the time.
- Laptop compartment in the back, pulled up off the bottom of the bag.
- Elastic admin organization in the front pocket for pens.
- Tall, boxy shape. American designed and made.
Watch for
- No great quick access pocket. The flat vertical front pocket is hard to use one-handed.
- Zippers aren't water sealed, so think about a rain cover in wet weather.
- Simple and a little floppy inside. I'd like a shelf pouch up top.
Specs
- 22L, 10 x 18 x 8 in, about 2.76 lb.
- Fits a 15 to 16" laptop plus a 10 to 13" tablet sleeve.
