How do you choose a backpack that’s right for you?

There are many different styles and sizes of backpacks, each with different features and benefits. When choosing the right backpack for you, think about what you want to carry, how long you’ll be wearing it, and in what climate you’ll be using it. Consider the following backpack features: Water-resistant materials: These are a must for rainy climates and soggy escapades. Nylon, leather, and neoprene are durable choices to help keep your contents safe and dry. Adjustable straps: These are a lifesaver when it comes to comfort. A tight-fitting backpack is uncomfortable, while a loosely-fitting one can be tough on your back. Some large backpacks even include padded hip belts and shoulder straps to help a long hike feel a little bit shorter. Storage compartments: Multiple compartments allow you to keep items organized and separated. Store your books, cell phone, and laptop in different compartments with spaces for a water bottle and other everyday items. Durability: Style and durability don’t need to be mutually exclusive—you can have both, though some bags focus on durability while others are more fashion-forward. Size: Consider the typical contents of your backpack and choose a size that will comfortably fit everything inside, as well as being a comfortable size and weight for you to carry around.

What types of backpacks are best for work?

Laptop backpacks help protect your computer as you travel. Whether you’re heading to a coffee shop or video-calling from the Riviera, laptop backpacks fit a range of laptop sizes with room for accessories. Leather backpacks are stylish and sturdy, age beautifully over time, and come in many different styles and colors.

What are popular types of kid’s backpacks?

Diaper bag backpacks are tailored to store all baby essentials. Many diaper bag backpacks have multiple pockets and features like insulated bottle holders and stroller straps to give your shoulders a break. Kids’ backpacks , whether they’re backpacks for school or for slumber parties, come in all kinds of cute backpack options, sized with little bodies in mind and designed with various themes and playful patterns.

What backpacks are good for events?

Clear backpack : These show all your contents in one glance, making them perfect for security checkpoints at concerts and sports venues. Mesh backpack : Offering visibility without giving too much away, these bags are great for schools that check bags at the door, for toting items on a beach day, or if you want your gym clothes to air out a little after an intense workout. Mini backpack : These bags give you the style of a backpack with the size of a purse or small handbag. Compact and minimalistic, a mini backpack or backpack purse holds all your daily essentials with hands-free convenience, ideal for daily life and nights out dancing. Sling backpack : These bags have one strap that rests across the body or off the shoulder and can be worn on your front or back. Use one to quickly access your camera for the perfect shot, or toss one over your arm for a fashionable alternative to a purse. Drawstring backpack : These make accessing your items a breeze. Just open the drawstring and toss clothes, sports equipment, and anything else that can be combined into a single pouch.

What backpacks are good for outdoors?

Hiking backpack : Pack a whole tent, sleeping bag, and cookware inside one, or slim it down for a day trip in the woods. Choose leather for a look as rugged as the wilderness you’re exploring, or weatherproofed canvas to stand up to the worst of the elements. Cooler backpack : Perfect for a picnic in the park or day hikes from the campsite, cooler backpacks are insulated to keep your food and beverages fresh over time. Pet backpack : Take your fur baby with you on your bike or a long walk with a place to rest when their little paws get tired. A cat backpack or a dog backpack has a sturdy design with breathing and ventilation elements and holes for whiskered heads.

Do backpacks make good gifts?

On Etsy, there are plenty of unique backpacks that make great gifts for everyone. Some Etsy sellers offer personalized backpacks that are embroidered or printed with a name or customization of choice. Customizing a child’s backpack not only helps them find their bag, but also adds a special touch that will make them enjoy carrying their school supplies. You’ll find backpacks in novelty shapes and designs that echo the personality of your friends and family members, like packs with bunny ears for animal lovers, floral patterns for bohemian fashionistas, or bags that look like novelty characters for cartoon enthusiasts. Vintage lovers will adore retro backpacks to hold their personal possessions and wear with their trendy outfits.

"Absolutely love my new backpack for work. It fits everything I need and is stylist. Customer service is absolutely great - originally I choose the Olive backpack but their inventory was off and the Olive was out of stock. They messaged me right away letting me know what they did have in stock and what color thread would go with it. Very happy with my purchase!"
