Hello there,

after 8 years my current backpack fell apart (zipper broke, fabric ripped and plastic clasp shattered). I have been using my Deuter Giga bike (model should be around 2016/17 according to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaAV2bT07rM).

Now I dont really know what to buy next. Since I own a Eberlestock Phantom I am really in love with that backpack and considered buying the Switchblade with a waistbelt.
Since I am living in germany I would like some equally built backpacks which I can give into repair without sending them to the US and wait ages to get it back :P

Are there any common brands which produce high quality backpacks which have good management stashes for small items like "tools" or replacement clothing. I also need a "quick access" sth where I can slide my notebook in. The backpack will be used nearly everyday, Every season for the daily commute, travels, hikes, shopping etc.

The Deuter was loaded around 5-10 kg every "normal" use

I really like the style of the switchblade but I dont know if its "worth" the money.

Thanks for helping me decide :)!
