Carhartt 35L Nylon Workday Backpack

Best commuting work backpack! I did not want to carry 3 different bags (laptop, lunch, purse) and it’s been a struggle to fine a backpack with a large center with good straps. Pockets in all the right places for organization with the larger center opening. This fits a large laptop, my lunch, 40oz coffee thermos, 40oz water thermos, charging cords, miscellaneous things I need to carry into the city. It is excellent on my back with the comfortable straps. It’s very well made and durable.

Excellent everyday work backpack. This Carhartt 35L backpack is extremely durable and well-built—exactly what you’d expect from Carhartt. The material feels thick and rugged without being stiff, and the zippers are smooth and solid. It holds a surprising amount (laptop, chargers, clothes, and daily gear) while still being comfortable to wear for long periods. The layout is practical and no-nonsense, making it easy to stay organized. Great value for the price and ideal for commuting, travel, or job-site use. Highly recommend.

Just received mine this morning from Amazon. What a great way to start the day! Easily fits everything I need. Great for if you travel for work. It's made with durable and tough material and keeps its shape. The zippers on the outside are really thick as well as the teeth of the zipper. Great feel when wearing. I'm carrying the same number of things as I did in my previous backpack which is also a Carhartt. But somehow this bag feels lighter. The shoe compartment was a tight fit but meshed seamlessly once it was zipped up, but I do carry a lot. Inside storage has tough nylon lining and compartments, pen holders, file holders, mesh zip-ups etc. And to top all that off it has aesthetic appeal. This bag is amazing! You won't regret buying one or two. Lol

Great backpack. I needed something to bring a change of clothes and some other supplies to and from work. I am working in an automotive shop, so I needed something that was both professional and durable. This Carhartt is the perfect style for that. The bag keeps things dry, with quality zippers that shouldn't come undone unless you want them to. It fits great and is easily adjustable. For the size, features, and materials, this is a good value.

I purchased this on November 8th, 2025, and fell in love with it right away. I wanted to give it time so as not to rush a review based on looks, very stylish with an old world feel. acomfortable and adjustable chest strap, the buckle easy to use. from the first day, everyone has commented on the bag til this day. I open it up in front of them, and they can't believe what inside, how much room in these photos ( it was early morning at work, so I loaded my bag up for the day in a rush) in the Workday Backpack, Pic#1 below the bag of tools, there is a folded light sweatshirt and a plastic food container, and it's about 12" in length × 8" wide and 3½ in depth. the 12" tool bag with a jab/drywall saw, metal cutting snips, 2) 7" clamps , a tape measure, a and a few other miscellaneous hand tools. you can see I also have the inner back sleeves filled. small items, first aid kit, hand wash, deodorant, few snacks. safety glasses. Pic #2 I add a compact drill and a hard hat. The white arrow is pointing to the front pocket, I keep my phone charger, earbud carrying case, and small flashlight. Pic #3 The bag is zippered up closed with everything in side( yes, the hard hat as well with the compact drill is inside, crazy right?). The upper front pockets are deep, approximately 10". I keep masks and gloves. Pic #4 on the side i keep a bag full of nuts, and in that sleeve, I have 3 hi-vis t shirt and a pair of dry socks. there is the left side mesh pocket with 2 straps, i use bottle water that can fit two side by side or a 2' level if needed. I hope this helps ya'll. this pack is so good im saving up for one just for travel. the shoulder straps are very comfortable, wide, the zipper are heavy-duyt. this backpack feels strong. the top handle is very handy, I feel comfortable tossing this thing around ( this one is a work bag ) it's a tough work bag. price may seem high, but ive searched and bought 3 different bags, they are now donated to the salvation army, Ive spend more on those others before this one, you dont need to search anymore. the worse thing is you drive to whole foods and return it. its that convenient. good luck women and men, and be aafe out there.

Works fantastic. Has enough space for lunch and other items, depending on how much you have of course. The color is true to the pictures. I’ve used this for college and traveling. Both work fantastic. I would definitely buy this again if I had to. It’s been over two years I believe and the durability is fantastic. I throw it around and it still has everything and isn’t too scuffed.

Great functional backpack. Durable and very easy access to all pockets.

I really like this bag. I work for the railroad and this bag ticks all the boxes for me. Its spacious. It has plenty of compartments. The opening for the bag is wide. The zipper seems very strong. I have the olive color and it looks pretty nice. I cant speak on how long it holds up. I’ve only used it so far just a few times. But my initial impression is that it should hold up for a long time. Its a little pricey but I feel its worth it. Definitely worth a try.
