PGYTECH OneGo Lite Backpack Review: A Sleek Everyday Camera Bag for Creators
If you’re anything like me, you probably already have a heap of different camera bags. Do you need one more? Maybe. Or perhaps you’re still searching for that perfect balance of size, functionality, and comfort? Then you might want to check out the OneGo Lite Backpack by PGYTECH.
I originally had the bigger OneGo Backpack, but honestly, it was just too big and heavy for me—so that one went straight to Hubby, and he still uses it regularly. The Lite version, however, feels like the sweet spot: smaller, lighter, but still packed with features designed for everyday creators.

First Impressions
The OneGo Lite has a sleek, minimalist design that doesn’t scream “camera bag.” That’s always a win in my book, especially for city shooting or travel. The fabric feels premium, the finish is classy, and the water resistance gives peace of mind. Zippers are sturdy, and the overall look is stylish enough to double as an everyday bag.
Functionality & Comfort
At 22L, it isn’t huge—but that’s the point. The modular divider system makes it easy to customise for different setups: a mirrorless body and a couple of lenses, or a stripped-down everyday kit. The side access is incredibly handy for grabbing gear quickly without opening the entire bag, and the laptop compartment fits up to a 16” device, which is impressive for this size.
Comfort is another highlight. Padded straps, breathable back panels, and the lightweight design mean it won’t break your back, even when loaded.

Final Verdict
The PGYTECH OneGo Lite Backpack hits a great middle ground—it’s lighter and smaller than the original OneGo, but still highly functional. It’s perfect for mirrorless shooters, hybrid creators, or anyone who wants a stylish day-to-day bag that doubles as a camera pack. If you’ve struggled to find the balance between size and practicality, this might just be the one.
