  • Finding the best backpack for every occasion

    Types of backpacks

    Backpacks can help you carry heavy items like books, a laptop computer or work or school supplies. They are convenient for commuting to school or work as well as for long-distance travel. Unlike a tote or messenger bag, a backpack distributes the weight of your burden across both shoulders evenly, creating a more ergonomic system for carrying your belongings.

    Backpack designs vary by capacity, structure and features. Backpacks with a padded back panel provide cushioning for long-term wear. Water-resistant backpacks offer protection in wet or damp environments. TSA-compliant travel backpacks make air travel a breeze. And telescoping handle backpacks and bags allow you the option of pulling your bag on wheels using a retractable handle.

    Backpacks can also be built to carry specific equipment. For instance, a laptop backpack includes a sleeve for your device, making it easy to take in and out of the bag and providing cushioning, and a camera backpack includes padded compartments for your camera body and lenses.

    Choosing a backpack

    When shopping for a new backpack, start by considering what you plan to carry. The size, weight and type of supplies you will be packing in the bag will dictate what size bag suits your needs. It can also tell you if you need to look for specific compartment designs.

    From there, think about features that will keep you comfortable while wearing your rucksack. Do you want ample shoulder padding? Will you benefit from a lightweight backpack or something with more structural integrity? Do you need a backpack with a water bottle holder so that you can stay hydrated while you’re on the go?

    Finally, the best backpacks for you will match your personal style and the environment where you use them. If you are choosing a backpack for hybrid work, you might want something classic, like a leather backpack. However, if you are picking out a more recreational backpack or a kid’s backpack, you could opt for something more daring and fun.
