You carry a backpack every day, so the right one makes a real difference — to your back, your gear, and how organised you feel. Here's how to choose one that fits your life, whether that's the office, campus or the airport.
What to look for in any backpack
A padded laptop compartment — the first thing to check if you carry a laptop; make sure it fits your screen size. Comfort — padded, adjustable straps and a breathable back panel matter most if you carry it far. Organisation — pockets for chargers, cables, water bottle and small items keep you from digging around. Durability and water-resistance — tough fabric and water-resistant coatings protect your gear from spills and light rain.
Choosing by how you'll use it
Work — a sleek, professional design with a protected laptop sleeve and a clean look. Add laptop accessories like a sleeve or hub to complete your setup.
Study — roomy main compartment for books and a laptop, comfortable straps for long days, and plenty of pockets.
Travel — larger capacity, a luggage-strap to slide over a suitcase handle, and secure zips for peace of mind.
Everyday / gym — lighter and simpler, with a spot for water and essentials. Browse the full backpack collection.
How to get the size right
Capacity is measured in litres: around 15–20L suits daily and work use, 20–30L covers study and heavier days, and 30L+ is travel territory. Bigger isn't always better — an oversized bag you carry half-empty is just bulky. Match the size to what you actually carry.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know a laptop will fit?
Check the backpack's stated laptop size (for example “up to 15.6 inches”) against your device — each product page lists it.
What makes a backpack comfortable?
Padded adjustable straps, a supportive padded back panel, and weight sitting close to your back rather than pulling away from it.
Are these backpacks water-resistant?
Many use water-resistant fabric or coatings that handle spills and light rain — check the product page for each one.
What size backpack for travel?
Look for 30L or more with a luggage strap, so it holds a few days' gear and rides on your suitcase.
