Apprentice

The Apprentice is a well-built backpack that's perfect for everyday use. It's simple, durable, and comfortable to carry. While it lacks some organizational features, it's a great choice for those who prioritize durability and simplicity.

Love it

A few more pockets on the inner part for cords and chargers would earn it a 5 star rating.

Excellent weekend bag. Eberlestocks usual excellent quality. This bag is exactly what I wanted for travel. Plenty of room for 3 or 4 days clothes and gear. No external pockets or flaps to hang up when stowing on plane or in vehicle. Comfortable carry with a normal load.

I’ve been through a lot of backpacks for everyday use and travel but this one takes it. Just went on my honeymoon and this thing went with us everywhere. Truly pleased with it.

The quality of bag is far superior than other bags on the market. However, I had to return because the covert side pouch was very small and couldn’t hold my 32 oz. YETI water bottle;in addition, the magnetic clamps were either nonexistent or nonfunctional. I don’t think the side pouches would secure a 12 oz. water bottle.
PLUSES:
Easy access to laptop from top.
Front interior panel roomy zippered storage.
Very high end quality construction.
Very roomy interior compartment.
MINUSES from my perspective:
Side pouches are too small to functional. Texas is hot! I drink minimal 32 oz. of water a day.
Molle isn’t in the best of places; on the bottom of the pouch would have been perfect to attach a YETI 32 oz. water bottle pouch.
If it were up to me I’d ditch the water reservoir container as this bag is better suited work/office use and have deeper side pouches as the H31 Bandit but even deeper.

This pack is great! Perfect for EDC or a quick trip out of town for a few days. I love the D shaped zipper access to the pack. Very comfortable to wear!
