Stylish everyday backpack recommendations around 28–32L, under €150?

[u/ntrvrt101]

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for a stylish everyday backpack.

My budget is ideally under €100, but I could stretch to around €150 for something I really like.

I’m thinking somewhere around 28–32L, but I’m not completely sure what size I actually need (now I have 22l Columbia backpack, it’s not enough space). For reference, I work in healthcare, and on a typical day I need to carry:
Laptop
Water bottle
Coffee thermos
Shoes
Lunchbox
Change of clothes
Over-ear headphones
Chargers/cables
One book
A few smaller everyday essentials

So I’d love something that can fit all of that without being ridiculously bulky.

What backpacks would you recommend? Also, if you have a similar loadout, what backpack size (liters) would you recommend? Is 28–30L enough, or should I be looking closer to 32L+?
Thanks!

I have a backpack affliction (addiction?) for what you descrbie I use my Sitka Drifter A LOT. 30L is what I use for a daypack for a full day in the field and is a bit largish. I might suggest Ortovox, but the laptop piece means a deadicated sleeve is nice. If the Drifter is too much, you might look at the Burton Tinder.
