Our take on the PUMA Essentials 20L Backpack

The PUMA Essentials 20L Backpack is a compact everyday pack with a 20-liter main compartment, a front zip pocket and a padded back panel. It is small enough for commuting, the gym or a day out, and it carries a laptop only if the laptop is small. Against bigger school and travel packs it trades capacity for a low-profile fit, so it suits light daily loads rather than books or a full week of gear. Owners like the clean PUMA look and simple layout; the main complaints are thin straps and limited organization.

Questions and answers

Is the PUMA Essentials 20L Backpack good for a laptop?
Only for small laptops, around 13 inches or less, and only if the bag has a sleeve in your version. The 20L body is shallow, so a large laptop leaves little room for anything else.
Is 20 liters enough for school?
For light days with a few notebooks, yes. For a full set of textbooks, a lunch and gym clothes, most people need a 25 to 30 liter pack.
Does it have a water bottle pocket?
The Essentials 20L has a front zip pocket but no dedicated side bottle pocket on the standard version. A slim bottle fits inside the main compartment.
How does it compare with bigger PUMA backpacks?
It is the compact option. Larger PUMA packs add laptop sleeves, side pockets and more padding, while this one stays light and low-profile.
Is it comfortable for long walks?
For short commutes and errands, yes. The padded back panel helps, but the thin straps make it less comfortable on long carries with a heavy load.
What is in the box?
The backpack itself. It ships as a single unit with no rain cover or extra accessories.
Where is the PUMA Essentials 20L Backpack cheapest?
At shoebacca.com, for $29.95, 46% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 6 ratings.
