Essential Backpack 24L: A Roll-Top Backpack Built for Daily Motion

Platform two, the 8:14 train, a thin drizzle working its way under your collar. You drop a gym kit on top of your laptop sleeve, roll the top down twice, click the buckle shut, and stop thinking about the weather. That is the whole idea behind the Db Journey Essential Backpack 24L: a roll-top backpack that adapts to the day you are actually having, not the one you planned.

The shell is 100% recycled polyamide with a water-repellent finish, lined with dope-dyed recycled polyester that skips the usual water-heavy dye bath. It weighs 0.65 kg empty, which you notice on the third flight of metro stairs, not on the scale. Size-wise it sits in a useful gap: slimmer than a travel pack, roomier than a minimalist laptop bag, with a matte black face broken only by a row of grey dashes and a single strap.

We stock a lot of backpacks at Eiken, and most urban packs fail the same test: they are either too small the one day you need them or too bulky the other two hundred. This one passes because the volume moves. Cinched down, it reads as a clean everyday backpack. Unrolled, it takes the extra layer, the groceries, the overnight kit.

Why it stands out

✔️ Expandable roll-top: rolled tight for a laptop-and-lunch day, opened up when a gym kit or a bag of groceries joins the load. The volume follows your day instead of dictating it.
✔️ Padded 16" laptop sleeve: holds up to a 16" MacBook Pro against your back, away from keys, chargers and anything that scratches.
✔️ Internal bottle pocket: keeps your bottle upright and contained, so a loose cap never meets your notebook.
✔️ Weather-resistant recycled shell: the coated polyamide sheds drizzle and splashes without fuss. It is not a dry bag, and Db does not pretend it is.
✔️ Hook-Up System compatible: clips onto other Db luggage, so it rides on your roller bag instead of on your shoulder through the terminal.
✔️ Recycled from shell to lining: 100% recycled polyamide outside, dope-dyed recycled polyester inside, with a finish that still looks and feels premium.

What actually fits in 24 liters?

More than the silhouette suggests. A 16" laptop and charger, a cable pouch, a notebook, headphones, lunch and a light jacket go in with the top still rolling down twice. Add a change of clothes and a toiletry kit and you have a credible one-night bag. The bottle stays in its own internal pocket, which keeps the main compartment from turning into a lucky dip.

Who it is for

This is a commuter's pack first. If your week runs metro to office to gym to dinner, the Essential 24L keeps one bag on your back the whole way, and at 0.65 kg it stays comfortable on the long walking days. Students and creatives get the same benefit in a different setting: laptop protected, cables sorted, room left over for whatever the afternoon adds. Cyclists like the slim profile and the fact that rain rolls off the shell instead of soaking in. And because it measures 45.5 x 33 x 18 cm, it slides under most airline seats as a personal item, which quietly makes it a weekend bag too.

Now the honest part. Skip this pack if you carry heavy loads on trails: there is no hip belt and no frame, and 24 liters of weight on shoulder straps alone is not a hiking setup. Skip it too if you live out of external pockets: the face of this bag is deliberately clean, so your snacks and ticket live inside, not in a mesh side pocket. And if you only ever pack flat, clamshell-style, a roll-top will ask you to change habits.

If the format works for you but you want more structure or a different volume, the rest of our Db Journey collection covers both directions. We picked this one as the entry point because it does the everyday backpack job at a fair price, with materials most brands reserve for their pricier models.

FAQ

Is a roll-top backpack practical for daily use?

Yes, once the gesture becomes habit: roll twice, clip, done. In exchange you get real volume flexibility, from a slim daily profile to the full 24 liters. If you strongly prefer suitcase-style clamshell openings, a roll-top may frustrate you, and we would rather tell you that now.

Does it fit under an airplane seat as a personal item?

At 45.5 x 33 x 18 cm it fits under most airline seats and works as a personal item on the majority of carriers. Rolled down, it compresses further. Always check your airline's specific limits before flying.

Is the Essential Backpack 24L waterproof?

It is weather-resistant, not waterproof. The coated recycled polyamide shell and the rolled closure handle drizzle, splashes and a normal city downpour on the way to the station. For sustained heavy rain or anything involving a boat, add a rain cover or a dry pouch for electronics.

Is 24 liters too big for an everyday backpack?

Not with a roll-top backpack, because the closure adjusts the volume. On light days you roll it down and the bag stays slim against your back. On full days you use all 24 liters: laptop, lunch, gym kit, extra layer. That range is exactly why we recommend it as a single do-everything pack.

What size laptop does it hold?

The padded internal sleeve takes laptops up to a 16" MacBook Pro. The sleeve sits against the back panel, so the computer rides flat and separated from the rest of the load.

Is it really made from recycled materials?

Yes. The main fabric is 100% recycled polyamide and the lining is 100% recycled polyester, dope-dyed, meaning the color is added during fiber production rather than in a separate water-intensive dye bath. The same materials run across the Db Journey backpacks we carry.
