    • Slim, lightweight, but fits my 17" laptop, this is the best EDC backpack I've owned so far.
I own a decent number of bags, including many a backpack for various use cases, including a decent amount of overlap. I have both a Tom Bihn Aeronaut 45L and an Osprey Farpoint 40 for 1 pack traveling (but also my Briggs & Riley rollers for when I don't want to carry a load). I have multiple hiking daypacks, mostly from Osprey. I have "technical" backpacks and slings and totes and probably too many messenger bags. Currently my two "EDC" (Everyday Carry) backpacks of choice were a Peak Design Everyday V2 at 30L, and a slimmer, no-name, cheap laptop bag that, frankly, got the job done. The Peak Design was a bit too big through as a true EDC, though great for traveling, so I wanted a slimmer EDC, because the cheap one was starting to fray, and the definitely not YKK zippers were starting to get stuck. After watching many a Youtube video (Chase Reeves, Packhacker) and reading various reviews on Wirecutter and elsewhere, I somehow stumbled on this Troubadour Apex, a brand I'd never even heard of. I did more research on it, thought it fit my needs very well, and finally pulled the plus when Amazon got it back in stock. I'd considered going with the compact version, but I wanted something that could fit my 17" LG Gram, which, admittedly is about the smallest 17" laptop you're going to get, but also an additional 16" portable monitor. The Apex accommodates both easily in the laptop compartment, with a bit of room to spare. That laptop compartment also floats off of the ground by a bit, a key feature for laptop safety from the odd drop. I then also tried to cram in my work laptop, a 15" (ish) Dell Latitude, in the same compartment, but out of the floating pocket, so encased in its own padded sleeve, and all three fit! The rest of the backpack is decently roomy for a couple of medium sized packing cubes and/or a tech pouch/dopp kit. I'd imagine you could easily fit enough for a weekend without a sweat, though I would probably favor the Peak Design on a multi-week trip. There's enough organizational nooks and crannies to pack away various cables, pens, etc., though I rely more on a tech pouch for my organization. There's an odd hidden sleeve that I'm guessing is for stowing passports or boarding passes, but I'd rather put those things on a sling or dedicated pouch. The Apex does have a very convenient luggage pass through sleeve to stack on top of a suitcase roller, and it keeps the backpack upright, unlike say on the Peak Design that puts the backpack on its side. Honestly, this is a bit of a key feature that eliminated other well rated backpacks, like Bellroy's various backpacks, because they lacked the pass through. But when on my shoulders, it's very comfortable, though I'll have to get back to how comfortable after walking a few miles across town, or running to catch a plane a few times. Finally, the bag is just cool looking. The overall aesthetics are stylish, with bits of vegan leather accents, including the zipper holds that I'd be comfortable bringing into any work meeting space. Having said that, this brings me to the one minus to the bag (so far), which is the water bottle holders, which are pretty small. They're good for a slim bottle, but my 20 oz Contago coffee mug doesn't feel very secure in there, and I'd rather give up a bit of that slim aesthetic (again, looks great on your back) for a deeper, secure fit for the bigger water bottles. ... show more

    • Great design - lightweight, stylish, and functional!
Color: Navy Size: Apex 3.0
I’ve been using the Apex Backpack, and it’s fantastic. The design is understated and professional while also very functional, so it's been great for my work and travel. My MacBook Pro slides easily into the padded laptop compartment, and there’s still plenty of room for pretty much everything else I need on a short trip. The waterproof fabric feels durable, and I like that it's made from recycled materials. The shoulder straps and breathable back panel make it comfortable to wear even after a long day. I’m 5’ 3” and it fits me well. It’s both stylish (I have the Airforce blue color - nice to have a non-black bag!) and practical and I recommend it. ... show more

    • Professional-looking, well-built, and comfortable
Color: Basalt Size: Apex 3.0
The media could not be loaded. I was looking for a laptop backpack that could brave the Montréal winters, so I figured I'd go for a high-quality bag, and I'm really happy with the Apex 3.0 so far. It's sturdy, professional, and large enough to bring on day trips but compact enough to walk in comfortably. All of the pockets are on the inside so it's sleek and structured from the outside, and size-wise, it fits my two 13-inch MacBook Airs plus an iPad with no problem. Love the colour, too — the Basalt one is a nice classy bluish-green grey. ... show more

    • Good backpack but could be really good
Color: Navy Size: Apex 3.0
Review Image by Chrisb Chrisb
I bought this backpack for work wanting to downsize from a 35 liter pack that I had been using for over a year. I ordered this pack for the looks/size and have been somewhat pleased in the 5+ months I’ve used it daily. Pros - looks good and I get lots of compliments. It keeps its shape and has some nice features for being small smaller pack. It rides well on my travel suitcase and the storage organization in the main compartment is good. Cons - having a second zipper on the laptop compartment was completely overlooked when this thing was designed. Honestly, this is the only thing keeping it from 5 stars but having the 1 zipper can sometimes lead to an awkwardness of opening it up or closing it when the pack is nearly full. The color also seems to be fading over time and it’s not as “blue” as it was when it was brand new. All in all if you’re looking for a professional looking backpack and willing to spend $200+ this is a good option for a daily commute. ... show more

    • Interior is a black hole. Cell phone pocket dumb
Color: Green Size: Apex 3.0 Compact
This pack is mostly well constructed and comfortable and holds what I need it to. BUT the entire interior is totally black, which makes finding anything in low light impossible. There was no deception or confusion in this: I just didn’t think about it. If I manufactured this product I’d make the lining a light silver or orange for contrast with the stuff inside. The cell phone holder on the shoulder strap is worse than useless. Inaccessible and uncomfortable. ... show more

    • Exceeds Every Expectation
Color: Black Size: Apex 3.0
The bag is excellent. I live in NYC and carry much of my work needs around daily. A lightweight bag that can hold a lot is truly essential. I found this one on a Wirecutter list, and I'm so glad I did. I can fit my laptop, keyboard, mouse, and all the essential cords, etc., along with a notebook, calendar, and iPad. The side pockets perfectly hold my water bottle and umbrella (also a must in NYC), and the front pocket provides easy access to keys, earpods, gum, and hand sanitizer. The bag is so well made. It's stylish without being tricky and goes with whatever I'm wearing, from casual to dressy. I highly recommend this bag. ... show more
