20 best backpacks

A very popular and inexpensive anti-theft backpack from a fairly well-known Chinese manufacturer. For the main function - to secure the contents, the code lock is responsible, in which you can set up a combination of numbers. In addition to protecting the main compartment, there are two hidden external pockets - on the strap, where keys or bank cards will fit, and a fairly roomy pocket on the back, where you can put your passport, tickets, wallet and other important things.

You can also not be afraid of external influences and bad weather. The main materials of manufacture are nylon and oxford with water-repellent properties, and the inner lining will additionally protect against heavy rain. I would like to separately praise the designers who took care not only of the protective functions, but also of convenience and ergonomics. With all the external compactness, the model is roomy - in addition to a laptop with a diagonal of up to 15 inches, for which a compartment is provided, you can easily place documents and a number of things if, for example, you need to go on a short business trip.

With a PacSafe backpack, you don't have to worry about being robbed in the crowd by opening the zipper or cutting the material. The model is equipped with a multi-level security system. The reliability of the zipper is due to the closing mechanism, which is re-fastened with an additional lock. There is also a special pocket resistant to RFID scanning, which means that your documents and payment cards are under reliable protection. There are 2 compartments, inside of which there are organizer pockets of different functionality, convenient for storing personal items, accessories and devices.

The soft lining on the inside will protect the entire contents from drops and bumps, while the steel alloy mesh under the lining material will protect the bag from cuts. The mesh back is made of breathable materials, relieving the skin from wrangling. PacSafe Vibe with a capacity of 20 liters is equipped with a fixing strap that allows you to attach the backpack to a chair or other object, which is convenient when you go to eat at a cafe, for example.

The Bobby Anti-Theft backpack is a Kickstarter project. People paid out of their own pocket for the idea to be implemented, therefore, we can conclude that it was precisely this set of functions that they lacked. A great option for those who like to constantly be on the move and travel. Constantly being in a crowd of strangers in lines or public transport, the risk of becoming an easy prey for pickpockets increases. In order not to take risks, you must first think about the bag in which you store all your personal belongings, documents or gadgets.

The backpack is made of 5 layers of different materials that protect against cuts, impacts and water ingress. The model simultaneously combines such qualities as safety, practicality and style. Visually, it seems that the backpack completely lacks locks - in order to get close to them, you need to tuck the edges. The presence of a USB connector allows you not to worry about the battery charge of your phone, and the equipment with reflective strips will protect you at night on the road. The anatomical shape distributes the entire load evenly.

Urban backpack manufacturer Tigernu is a vivid example of what miracles Chinese factories are capable of. Not a single hint of "Chinese" - uneven seams, tousled threads and fragile polyester. On the contrary, the company uses high-quality denim and nylon, branded durable buckles and trouble-free zippers. The execution is worthy of the level of "Germans" and "Americans", attention is paid not only to the evenness of the lines, but also to the presence of internal soft inserts to protect against rough mechanical impact.

Model T-B3237 consists of one large compartment with many dividers and a compartment for an electronic gadget up to 15.6", there are also nice little things like a pocket for headphones and elastic straps for fixing a laptop. The main compartment can be opened 60 or 180 degrees, and after it closing, a two-layer zipper is hidden under the fabric.This solution significantly complicates the access of fraudsters to the backpack and prevents spontaneous opening.Additional protection is provided by a combination lock offered to the buyer as a gift.An important point is that the backpack is equipped with an external USB output and allows you to charge your smartphone on the go.

Modern design, solid solid frame, many compartments, comfortable shoulder straps and chest strap - Airgo backpacks like at first sight.Only the price can spoil the impression, but further acquaintance with the product gives an understanding that it is justified. All the important little things for keeping order are thought out: a pocket for a water bottle, a key holder, an organizer, a compartment for a mobile phone, elastic side pockets.

With typical German pedantry, support for children's health and safety is provided. So, the shape of the back is curved so that it fits snugly to the body and correctly distributes the load, the inner surfaces are ventilated, and all the outer ones have reflective elements to give good visibility in the dark. The volume of 18 liters and the weight of 0.9 kg are designed for a child of 10 years old, but thanks to the Ergo ES2 3-level adjustment system and high reliability, the backpack can be worn for 2-3 years. Caring for it is very simple, the materials do not fade and do not crack over time, so this series from Herlitz is noble centenarians even among mischievous people.

The minimalistic design is not devoid of style and functionality. The model is made of water-repellent material, therefore, in the snow and in the rain, all contents will remain intact and safe. Even with heavy luggage, the straps and handle won't dig into your skin thanks to the extra soft padding.

This model has 2 compartments, closing on a double dog. As standard there are side pockets for containers with water. The main compartment fits a 15.6-inch laptop, while leaving plenty of room for books and notebooks.The additional compartment fits a tablet up to 10 inches. In addition to all of the above, the model has a large number of ergonomic pockets for storing small stationery, accessories, wallets and phones.

The volume and organization of the interior space of the backpack from the legendary Hewlett-Packard are thought out so well that it is suitable for a student, photographer and office worker, for everyday wear and on tourist trips. A separate laptop pocket with a small margin fits a 15.6" device (someone even successfully uses it for 17.3"), there is also a roomy main compartment and many additional pockets. Hidden zippers are provided, which are difficult for thieves to get close to, the back is perfectly made - obviously they tried with ergonomics.

The next design feature is the top location of the fastener, which provides convenient access to the contents of the backpack without removing it from the shoulders. The product is made to last, from moisture-proof dense materials, and looks much more expensive than it costs. You have to pay for spaciousness with weight - the backpack turned out to be quite heavy and bears little resemblance to a “purebred” urban one. The model has been produced for several years, there are a lot of reviews on it, so it has already passed the test of time.

Judging by the reviews on the Internet, this compact-looking model is very popular with students precisely because of its 20-liter capacity.The flowing shapes make it perfect for everyday wear without being frilly or bulky. DAKINE Garden 20 is made of natural water-repellent fabrics, keeps its shape well even after repeated washings and several years of wear. Great for dry cleaning with a sponge.

Everything is harmonious in the backpack: size, design, and functionality. It has an organizer for small stationery, many compartments and pockets, a well-thought-out compartment for devices, documents and other small things, and a fleece pocket for glasses will protect lenses from scratches.

For long distances, the Baix model will be too small (only 15 liters), but for a country picnic, short bike rides or just a walk in the nearest park, that's it.The fact that the buyer is faced with not an urban, but a multisport backpack, will be indicated by the presence of a drinking system outlet and a helmet mount. Bright, miniature and ultra-light (weighs 400 g), it is especially liked by female athletes and young mothers. However, men's reviews are also very commendable: the stronger sex especially likes the ventilated straps and back.

In general, Tatonka's products are in demand. It has been officially shipped to 30 countries for over 25 years, so the brand is known and respected. The brand sees its mission in motivating as many people as possible to take a break from everyday life, to visit nature more often with loved ones, to comfortably discover the beauty of the world around.

For avid travelers, THULE now offers several lines of backpacks at once, ranging from small to large models for long trips. Importantly, the Swedes try to take into account the needs of both men and women, producing backpacks taking into account the anatomical features of both sexes. You can consider absolutely all models for purchase without fear of purchasing a low-quality product: AllTrail, Capstone, Stir are the most relevant travel backpacks. It all depends solely on the request and preferences.

Capstone is more suitable for lovers of short hikes, the volume is average - 50 liters and the backpack looks very compact. Excellent ventilation system, perfect hanging system, two metal rods that hold the shape of the product and a comfortable fit thanks to MicroAdjust.The main material is very durable Cordura nylon, the contents are accessible from several sides, and at the bottom there is even a special pocket for a raincoat. Perhaps this is the best backpack in its "weight category".

Since the last century, Deuter backpacks have been considered one of the best not only in their homeland, in Germany, but throughout the world. Firstly, this is due to the high quality, because many details are still sewn by hand. Secondly, the company is not going to give up leadership positions, keeping up with the times, and constantly uses new trends in its models. By the way, it is Deuter who owns the development of AirComfort technology, which is still used by most of the major players in this market.

As always, at Deuter everything is thought out to the smallest detail - a high-quality distribution system and easy access to contents, a rigid back with an aluminum frame with convenient adjustment. A wet back during long trips is not the most pleasant, therefore, for maximum comfort, soft pillows in mesh fabric filled with soft foam are sewn on the back of the backpack, which, in addition to convenience, are needed to remove air from the back during use.

Mike Pfotenhauer, the founder of the company, has turned Osprey backpacks into a real benchmark of quality over the almost half-century history of the brand.The very ambitious young designer has been sewing the first custom-made backpacks since the age of 16, and quickly earned a reputation for the high quality and convenience of his products. Now Osprey, constantly introducing its own new technologies, becoming an innovator with women's series, developing a lap belt buckle system and introducing many other ideas, is one of the leaders not only in the US travel product market, but also in the world.

The Osprey Aether Plus is a unisex model made from durable 420D nylon with an AirScape back and comfortable foam inserts, an easily adjustable waist belt and, as always, a very comfortable fit. The durable aluminum frame allows you to withstand heavy loads, there are various attachment systems for equipment and a removable top bag that can be used as a separate small backpack. Fans of long hikes and expeditions should definitely take a closer look at this model.

Backpacks of the Polar Performance series are positioned as urban ones, but the developers have provided several details that expand the scope of its use. The model is small and medium-sized (volume 25 l), equipped with a rigid anatomical back, so it is advisable to take it with you on a one- or two-day bike tour.It is important that it weighs only 0.9 kg. In addition to the standard black color, the shoulder bike backpack is offered in more cheerful colors - orange, pink and light green, and therefore it is very popular among a female audience that is not averse to tourist pleasures.

Compared to analogues of foreign production, domestic products are about 2 times more affordable, but they are slightly inferior in quality. Judging by the reviews, users have no complaints about the shoulder belt system - the straps are sewn to last, so you can carry a decent load, up to 12 kg. The weight belt cannot be compared with a full-fledged tourist backpack - these are classic sewn-on straps, but they also allow you to tightly pull the backpack to your hips, which means you can precisely control the position of the luggage.

The backpack of the Moub Jam series is difficult to attribute to any particular category - this is a product of those that are for all occasions. The classic unisex design allows both genders to wear it to the fitness club, while the extra capacity allows for cycling or walking out of town with everything you need for the outdoors. Versatility is also added by a rich package, including a helmet mount, a rain cape, a signal whistle, straps that unload the lower back, which, as unnecessary, are hidden in the backpack case.

Practical additions include LED flashlight mounts with reflective strips, loops for trekking poles, height-adjustable shoulder straps and a hydration pack system.Among the shortcomings indicated in the reviews, we should mention the high placement of the mesh side pockets, which makes it inconvenient to get their contents without removing the backpack from the back. In addition, some users do not like that the carrying handle is too narrow.

The Trans Alpine 30L backpack was originally designed for 2-3 day mountain trails, but it can be used in all types of outdoor activities. 30 is the “middle sister”, the line also includes bicycle backpacks with a smaller (25 l) and a larger (32 l) capacity, as well as women's models and models for tall people. All of them have the same advantages: a streamlined shape that makes backpacks look much more compact than they really are, as well as a reasonable distribution of space - there are two large inside pockets (they can be combined), small pockets on the outside and on the belt, a secret compartment for documents.

They are also pleased with the indestructibility of the outer fabric and the inner lining, the quality factor of the fittings, the elegant design and versatility - any model can be used as an urban cycling option, on flights (checked out as hand luggage) and on hiking trips. In cycling, several more advantages of the design are manifested. Thanks to the combination of a flexible aluminum profile and an anatomical weight belt, the backpack sits like a glove on the back. At the same time, the Airstripes system ensures maximum air circulation and prevents excessive sweating.

The longer the route, the more important it is for the cyclist to keep drinking. Carrying a bottle with you and constantly stopping to take a sip is not an option. It is much more efficient to use the drinking system that experienced market players like Thule equip with UpTake backpacks. For the convenience of the athlete, it has a magnetic return of the hands-free hose, eliminating the need to constantly adjust the tube and be distracted from the ride.

The manufacturer has taken care of a sufficient range of sizes: in the model range there are bicycle backpacks with a volume of 4 to 12 liters. Recall that it is not recommended to carry more than 15 kg on your back, becauseaboutMore weight affects the stability and handling of the bike. Thule's approach to product reliability is no less responsible: before a backpack goes on sale, it undergoes at least 100 tests according to a proprietary testing program, the stringency of which is inferior even to the generally recognized ISO system. Not surprisingly, the company provides a 2-year warranty covering all defects, including fading and normal wear and tear.

A 20-liter backpack weighing 300 g is a truly record-breaking feature, and a very important one, since the Simple 20 is expected to be used for tourism purposes as well. However, there is a lot of work for models in the city - they are often bought for carrying various kinds of tools (the price allows), shopping for the occasion (it folds into a compact roll) or for business trips. The internal organization is extremely simple and consists of a main compartment, a smaller front pocket and mesh side pockets.

The backpack is made of 600D polyester. Its lightness, strength and abrasion resistance have attracted the attention of many manufacturers, and the use of this fabric is not at all a wonder. Another thing is interesting - on the inside, the material is impregnated not with polyvinyl chloride, as usual, but with polyurethane. This solution is more expensive, but it allows you to increase the water resistance of the product and expand the temperature range of its use - from ‒30 to +40 degrees.

Urban youth always have something to take with them - a tablet, sneakers, a delicious “nishtyachok” or a portable speaker, but they are not ready to shackle themselves with heavy things. Young lovers of traveling light need something compact and roomy at the same time, universal - suitable for the city, training or spontaneous outings, and, highly desirable, with a bright emotional design.

All these requirements are fully met by a mini-backpack from Xiaomi.Its volume and dimensions - 10 liters, 34x23x13 cm - correspond to the name mini, and at first glance, there are not enough pockets. However, there is enough space for a gadget with a maximum diagonal of 10‒11", a pair of notebooks or books, a 0.5 l water bottle and a snack. As for the appearance, it is very concise and at the same time evokes sympathy due to deep shades - mint green, navy, orange, etc. The product, besides being beautiful, is also practical, because it perfectly tolerates washing, does not fade over time and successfully resists rain.

Anyone who has ever been caught in heavy rain with an ordinary city backpack knows that, although it has water-repellent properties, the internal contents do not save you from getting wet. A backpack made of high-density nylon with taped seams and waterproof zippers, such as the Norfin Dry Bag, does 100% this function. It was appreciated not only by hunters and fishermen, but also by motorcyclists, cyclists, and residents of rainy regions.

It is easy to check the tightness level of the product - just close it with Velcro and two locks, and then try to squeeze the air out. The reviews say that this will not work. For urban use, it is better to take a 20-liter model weighing 0.5 kg. Also on sale you can find pressurized backpacks for 25 and 35 liters. All modifications are endowed with some trekking and tourist functions: a chest strap, a ventilated suspension system, padded straps, mounts for a raincoat tent or karemat.

A well-thought-out backpack from a reputable European brand. WENGER can be called without exaggeration one of the best manufacturers of urban backpacks. And since they know exactly what unsurpassed quality is, they also give a three-year warranty on all their models. True, there are very few miniature backpacks up to 14-20 liters in the assortment, but those on the market are distinguished not only by the highest quality, but also by thoughtful details, comfortable fit and good ergonomics.

This copy of the average volume is 28 liters and weighs 740 grams. Made of polyester, resistant to external influences and moisture. The anatomical design, relatively light weight, comfortable shoulder straps and Airflow system allow you to wear it all day without experiencing any discomfort. Well, and as usual, a huge number of various pockets and compartments where you can place all the necessary things.
