Backpacks have broken through the perceptions of only being for education environments to become arguably the most popular type of bag in just about every environment. While they continue to be popular in schools, offices, shared working environments, airports and more are all packed to the brim with people choosing to keep their important possessions on their back.
Unfortunately this increase in popularity has not seen an increase in quality. Most backpacks are still put together cheaply and require replacements often. For working professionals this lack of quality is mirrored by a lack of professionalism with backpacks still relying on gaudy colours and decorations that simply aren’t a fit for the workplace.
The company EVERKI was established by founders frustrated with this very problem. As career travellers they saw that no bags on the market were built tough enough to last or smart enough to fit in at work. EVERKI’s engineering is best seen in the Onyx, a backpack that borrows its strength and good looks from the natural resource that bears its name.
Despite its compact size the EVERKI Onyx has a carrying capacity of 25 litres, which is more than enough for the school or office commute with more than enough to also be your best friend when travelling.
Along with its focus on longevity and sharp looks, EVERKI also knows how important it is for modern bags to carefully carry your expensive electronics. That’s why the Onyx has a dedicated, padded compartment that can fit devices up to 15.6 inches. As fans of laptops with these larger screens we’re very happy to see companies like EVERKI give us the space we need for our tech.
Another feature we personally love is the large side pockets. These work great for water bottles and EVERKI has even built in a secure loop for that use case. But it’s not just for water bottles and with one of these multifunctional pockets on each side, you can pack more. We find it most useful for umbrellas and battery banks, both especially useful for travel locally and overseas.
All the features of the Onyx are wrapped in a svelte black that fits into any situation. Your Onyx will continue to look good as time goes on thanks to superior craftsmanship and clever choices of materials. For example: the Onyx uses a water-repellent ballistic nylon on its exterior to keep dry and premium leather is used in the handle and other accent areas for even more strength. With a corner-guard protection system and even real metal zippers, EVERKI has thought of everything here.
The black exterior is in contrast to the signature orange EVERKI interior. The high brightness colour choice here makes it easy to find items, even in low light, and it makes security checkpoints a breeze as officials won’t have to spend extra time on your backpack. This focus on travel is also seen in the trolley handle pass-through, allowing the Onyx to quickly and securely be placed on top of your luggage.
We didn’t even have time today to touch on some other great features, like a hard-shell, quick-access glasses case at the top, or another quick-access slot on the side for newspapers, magazines, travel documents or anything else you may need.

No matter where you get your EVERKI you enjoy another promise from the aforementioned founders: a limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and material defects for original owners. EVERKI can only offer this kind of deal given its supreme confidence in the manufacturing of all its products. To go from expecting to replace backpacks every few months, to keeping one for life, is a real game changer you will only get from EVERKI.
