1. Everything 17L & 21L Backpack

Best For: Something simple, something light.

Moment's Everything Backpack for all the gear enthusiasts out there. Think of it as the Moment tote but in backpack form, featuring a two-layer water-resistant fabric, YKK AquaGuard zippers, a 1L water bottle pocket, and a dedicated laptop pocket.

The 17L is the daily driver, carrying everything you need, while the 21L gives you more room for that weekend trip. Designed to carry camera gear, laptops, tablets, daily accessories, and even some overnight clothes, this bag can be carried directly in the bag or with our accessory inserts. The laptop pocket can accommodate a 14" laptop with the 17L bag or a 16" laptop with the 21L backpack size.

This pack offers exceptional access with side and front entry points, perfect for capturing those spontaneous Moments (yes, pun intended). For the creative souls who are also pet parents or don't mind a bit of dirt for the perfect shot, Moment also developed a custom fabric that keeps away lint, pet hair, or soil. We've ensured this bag lives up to its name, providing everything you need for everyday what-nots.

2. Morro Backpack

Best For: Retro-outfitters who like a classic backpack silhouette.

You won't get enough of the Morro. It perfectly blends style and simplicity, and it’s got that retro edge every fashion lover craves. Think 90s Jansport vibes but with a more premium feel and a splash of color that’s nearly impossible to resist. Toss in the matching Long Weekend Camera Cube, and you’ve got room for multiple camera bodies and a lens, all while looking chic.

A built-in sleeve fits up to a 16" laptop, plus two external pockets keep your smaller essentials organized (and give you a handy spot for your phone or chapstick). Honestly, the hardest choice is picking between the fun moss colorway or the classic black. With a 22L capacity, it’s the perfect go-anywhere pack whether you’re off to a shoot, heading out of town overnight, or setting up shop at your favorite café.

3. Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2 20L

Best For: Coffee shop meets, larger carry, tons of variety.

This is the backpack that put Peak Design on the map. Inside, it’s got these clever folding dividers that keep your camera, drone, and daily gear neat and easy to grab. No more digging through a pile of stuff at the bottom. The outside’s made from recycled, weatherproof material that keeps your gear safe when the weather turns. Plus, the hardware is insanely innovative and bombproof. The magnetic top latch is smooth and satisfying, and the side zips make it easy to grab your camera on the go, even in the rain.

4. Jumper Photo Backpack

Best For: Color-lovers that are on the go.

Brevite nails their TikTok marketing and color ways. Their best-selling Jumper backpack sports a smilier silhouette to the 90's Jansport pack but with a durable twist: it can carry a boot load of camera gear. It doesn't have a super strong outer shell, like the WANDRD 31L, but the material is still durable and ready for road trips, planes, and daily outings. Pack your laptop and other essentials, like a jacket or tripod, and you're set.

5. WANDRD PRVKE Lite 11L

Best For: Lighter cameras, minimalists.

It’s the little sister of the iconic PRVKE 31L backpack — famously spotted on Joel Edgerton in Apple TV’s Dark Matter. It’s more compact but still packs the same modular interior for maximum organization. The smaller capacity is perfect for lighter loads and everyday essentials, especially if you’re a creator rolling with just one camera or an iPhone with Moment lenses. Plus, it comes in a range of fun, neutral colorways that’ll add nicely to any outfit.

6. Boundary Supply Errant Pro X-Pac

Best For: Slightly more adventurous with lots of gear.

Boundary Supply always makes top-notch bags and this large bad boy is no exception, it's built with ultra-rugged materials and surprisingly thoughtful organization inside. And you carry a ton of camera gear on the daily, this is a great option if you add in a camera cube.

Its modular dividers and easy-access design keep everything in its place: notepads, laptops, jackets, tech organizers, big camera lenses, and whatever else you need. You have stash pockets made from stretch mesh keep items separate from the main compartment and a clam shell opening so you have full access to the largest section. The durability far outlasts the other cheaper Amazon bags, and it's sure to stay on the body during a motorcycle trip or long day walk in the city.

7. WANDRD Nimbus 18L Backpack

Best For: Digital nomads and coffee shop work days.

It's sleek yet insanely functional, just like all WANDRD bags. You get a pet-hair-free, water-proof outer casing with rugged YKK zippers to protect your cables or camera gear. It features a TON of small pockets, different compartments for niche items like a passport or journal. Easily pack a 16-inch laptop and place EDC items, like wallets or keys, at the various accessory attachment points.

It sports the versatility of WANDRD's popular PRVKE series backpacks, but hones in on the everyday lifestyle with a super tight, real close-to-your-body feel for all day wear and cleanliness.

8. Langly Sierra Backpack

Best For: Cute outfits, coffee shop use, and college.

The Sierra Backpack is a go-to for college students needing something reliable for the long class day, coffee shop goers, creatives who bring a camera, or simply someone who wants a cute bag with maximum versatility. The Sierra from Langly is a best-seller that can hold up to seven lenses and a single camera body, plus the built-in laptop sleeve can hold a 16" laptop. The outer shell feels like a classic vintage rucksack, but the premium materials will keep it looking sexy for a lifetime. It comes in a variety of fun colorways and sports a super fun exterior while holding all you need. Langly is a class favorite, and the Sierra is its main character.
