Civic Panel Loader 16 L Backpack

My daily companion for over a year

Since I was already very satisfied with the PLC20, I was looking for a backpack that would hold its shape well even when empty. There’s not much to say: the CPL does exactly that. It has a very nice silhouette yet offers plenty of storage space if you want to carry a lot of things. The shoulder straps sometimes slip a bit off my shoulders, but it’s not a big deal. Despite the straps, the backpack has been my daily companion for over a year. From simple shopping trips and commutes to the office to walks where I might want to stash my jacket or carry a drink. In short, a great backpack.

Wonderful for EDC and also weekends

Great EDC bag for office daily carry. Water bottle fit inside no problems at all, for sure bigger than the capacity stated. Very comfortable, used also for a short weekend. Packed tight but works very well for that too!

Almost Perfect, Just Not Right-Side Friendly

I already had the 24L version, but it was too big for daily use. This size is perfect. Even though it is a 16L bag, it feels like it can hold more. The organization is great. I love the yoke pocket, can hold bigger laptops. I customized it with orange zippers, and you can also add your favorite Velcro patches. The only downside for me is the on-the-go access. You need to swing the bag from the left side, but I prefer to carry my bag on the right side. It is a bit disappointing that they do not offer a mirror version. Other than that, it is perfect.
