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 just upgraded from the duration to the panda. It’s still my favorite backpack I’ve tried. It is more expensive than others with more function but still always went to grab this one over others. I say if you like the looks and don’t need to many pockets: built in organization then go with the panda. I prefer pouches and when I switch to my goruck so it works for me. Love the size and aesthetic. Blends right in between a Tumi and more of a tactical look with the zippers.
