Thank you! He takes his backpack everywhere due to his job (IT Infrastructure) so servers can go down any time. It gets a ton of daily use!

You're welcome. Vanquest and 5.11 both make lines that don't look tactical (ie the MOLLE webbing). But if he also uses a small set of tools (maybe to gain access to a server or unscrew a case), a smaller sling with a MOLLE tool pouch might do well also. As a size reference, I have a 5.11 Moab 6 sling and an I-pad Air 2 in a full case fits perfectly in the larger pocket with room for additional items.

Oh nice thank you. He also loves to carry around his knives and other survival gear stuff so I think he may like the more tactical gear look.

Then I'd start with 5.11 - Moab 10 for a sling or AMP 10 for one that can be either backpack or a sling (they're on sale now & being discontinued soon).

Thanks! I'm looking at the AMP10 (don't think hed like a sling) is the clamshell opening annoying? I ask because I have one like this as a diaper bag but trying to wonder from a guys perspective. 🤣

I have 2 larger backpacks that open fully with that design, and it doesn't bother me at all. It makes things nice and open so I can see everything.
