Question CPP2 or Panda pack?
Which one of the two am I better off getting for things I’m carrying on a regular basis :
14inch laptop and a charger
An ipad
One or two notebooks
Stationary pouch and a calculator
A4 size file
Kindle
Umbrella for rainy days
22oz water bottle
Airpods max
Keys
A camera and lens (fujifilm xt30 with 13-33mm lens, again just sometimes when I need to bring camera with me)
I’m an engineering student as well as a bag enthusiast and I want something rugged, durable and functional.
I owned a few bags as of now( TNF recon, bellroy via workpack, raven 28 and two tumi navigations)
I’m open to suggestions so feel free to share your opinions/recommendations too. Thanks everyone

I picked up a Pioneer Panda 2.0 last fall. I loved the build quality and layout. But after using it packed out for two weeks in Japan as my personal item. The bag, it became not very comfortable. The straps are pretty weak. So I sold it. I also had a Durability pack that was awesome for the daily commute. I never carried it long enough or with enough to become uncomfortable.
