Notes from our data check
Dims come from the brand's linked diagram 'EVERYDAY BACKPACK 20L / EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS': height 46 cm; width 33 cm at the top and 30 cm at the base; depth 21 cm at the top and 15 cm at the base; footnote '(Average sizes listed, will expand/contract with load.)'. dims record the largest value on each axis (46 x 33 x 21 cm); inches converted. Internal: 41 x 28/27 x 18/13 cm. Spec text: 'Capacity 17L min, 20L max' (expandable side panels; no expanded external size is published, so expandedDims is null and the 21 cm top depth may already be the expanded state). Weight 'Without Dividers: 1.66kg (3.66lb) / With Dividers: 2.01kg (4.43lb)'; the as-shipped (with dividers) figure is recorded. Laptop 'Max Laptop Carry 38.1cm x 25.4cm x 2.5cm (15")'. Price $279.95 for the 20L (30L is $299.95). Amazon: several 20L listings exist (B07ZTPS1L7 Black, B07ZTQ7VJ9 Charcoal, plus 'V3' listings B0DKL8ZDNM Ash and B0D9HCVG5D Coyote); it is unclear which generation matches the current brand page, so asin is null.
