Herschel Settlement Backpack

Herschel’s Settlement backpack is a modern daypack that opts out of bells and whistles for a cleaner minimalist design. Organizers and smaller pockets are limited to a single front pocket but the roomy 23 liter main compartment makes it up in net cargo room. As far as tech carry goes you’ll get a laptop sleeve that fits a laptop or tablet up 15-inches and an internal media pocket with a headphone port.

The Herschel Settlement is available in 2 different sizes; full size (23L) and mid-volume (17L). The specs and photos on this page are of the full sized Herschel Settlement backpack.

What we like

• Simple modern design that’s available in over a dozen colors

• Spacious 23 liter main compartment is big enough for books, lunch or extra clothes.

What we don’t like

Herschel Supply Co. Heritage Backpack

Although Herschel is a relatively new brand, many of their bags feel oddly familiar. Their Heritage backpack in particular is reminiscent of vintage daypacks from the 1970’s that gained popularity with students at the time. Fast forward 50 years and the idea of a school daypack feels far from revolutionary. But there is still something incredibly charming about the original daypack design that Herschel recaptures with their Heritage backpack.

The main difference between the Herschel Heritage and its more modern sibling the Herschel Settlement is that the Heritage features more vintage design elements such as the a leather lash tab on the front and a contrast panel on the bottom. Size wise, the Herschel Heritage (21.5L) is one of the smallest Herschel daypacks when compared to the Herschel Pop Quiz (22L) and the Herschel Settlement (23L).

The Herschel Heritage is available in 2 different sizes; full size (21.5L) and mid-volume (14.5L). The specs and photos on this page are of the full sized Herschel Heritage backpack.

What we like

• Thick shoulder straps are comfortable

• Good medium sized daypack for school or commuter carry

What we don’t like

Herschel Pop Quiz Backpack

The Herschel Pop Quiz is a simply designed backpack that is surprisingly loaded with some cool features that makes it perfect for all-day school, work or travel carry.

At 22 liters, the Pop Quiz is large enough to hold books, lunch or a change of clothes with room to spare for smaller items thanks to its front pocket organizer. The Pop Quiz also sports cool little features like a fleece lined sunglasses compartment that you can access from the top of the bag as well as an internal media pocket with a headphone jack. Herschel didn’t have to add these small features but we are glad they did.
