TOP 10 best travel backpacks
10 NOVA TOUR Velo 12
Country: Russia
Average price: 2890 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
Stylish shoulder bike backpack designed to carry the essentials. Its volume is only 12 liters, so you should figure out if this volume is enough for you. Almost weightless - its weight is only 700 grams. The waist belt is wide, comfortable, together with the chest strap, it ensures a snug fit of the backpack to the body of the cyclist. The waist has two pockets for a phone or keys. The main compartment has a lot of different pockets, which will allow you to conveniently organize the space so that nothing dangles. On the back there is a secret compartment where you can hide documents.
It features very good ventilation of the back and straps, which makes it indispensable when cycling. You can forget about such a problem as a sweaty back after a trip. An outlet for a drinking system is provided, so the model is good for long rides when there is no time to even stop and drink. It is convenient that, if necessary, dismounting on a backpack can be fixed with a bicycle helmet, and it will not interfere at all. In reviews, buyers claim that a surprisingly large amount of things fit into the backpack, although its volume is small. They also note that the model turned out to be of high quality and durable, even taking into account the frankly low price.
9 DAKINE Heli 12
Country: USA
Average price: 6300 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.4
Frankly small backpack for freeride with a volume of 12 liters. It is made so that the skier or snowboarder does not need anything during the race. The form factor is designed specifically for this sport - this is a model with special mounts for carrying skis on the sides and for a snowboard in front. On the backpack itself there is where to hang an ice ax or a shovel.However, there are frankly not enough pockets: there is only the main compartment and a small pocket for glasses (which is very convenient for skiers). A life-saving whistle is attached to the chest strap.
Despite its small size, the model has an anatomical back and a waist belt, which makes the equipped backpack almost weightless. Chest straps secure it firmly to the skier's back, as if it were sewn onto a jacket. The backpack has a lot of colors, so you can choose the one that matches the color of the equipment. This model does not have avalanche protection, so do not count on it to somehow help you in the event of such a disaster. But there is a waterproof cover that will save you if you suddenly get caught in the rain or wallow in the snow.
8 Aquatic RS-18
Country: Russia
Average price: 1888 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
This is a multi-sport backpack whose main purpose is to provide a convenient location for small equipment on a trip. Use it in various sports or short hikes without a lot of equipment. Aquatic RS-18 copes with its task by 100%. Its volume is 18 liters. However, it does not have a top valve. However, roomy side pockets and a handy interior compartment make it suitable for accommodating a bunch of small and not so small items.
The back of the model is anatomical, moderately rigid - ideal for not "clogging" the wearer's back. I am glad that the backpack has very good ventilation, so you can forget about sweat stains under it. The model is equipped with high-quality reflectors. Therefore, the traveler or athlete will be visible from afar, even in the dark. On the front wall there is also a small pocket with a zipper, where you can hide, for example, a map or a navigator.The waist belt also has a mini compartment for a smartphone, keys and other small items. Naturally, it is worth making a discount on the price: for your money, the model can be called almost perfect.
7 Equipment Canyon 110
Country: Russia
Average price: 6730 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
Another backpack of domestic production, created specifically for long expeditions. Holds 110 liters. It has a comfortable anatomical back, which partially relieves the load from the spine, coupled with a wide and comfortable waist belt, as well as a chest strap. Despite the frightening size, the backpack itself weighs a little for an expeditionary one - only 2.2 kilograms. Canyon 110 is considered one of the best quality and most comfortable expedition backpacks. It contains everything you need. And what didn’t fit can be hung on the side ties or put into the pocket of the top flap.
The backpack can be accessed both from above and from below. From the inside, the compartment is partitioned off, which makes it easier to place and sort things. However, there are not enough external pockets and nets where something bulky could be fixed. There is a special mount for the ice ax, so you don't have to think about where to hang it. The only problem with this model is not the most convenient top valve. Yes, it is adjustable, yes, it has a pocket. But it does not come unfastened and does not hold its shape. In the reviews, users praise its durability and quality indiscriminately: someone has been actively traveling with the model for more than 15 years, and during this time it has never been repaired.
6 Tramp Orlan 110
Country: Russia
Average price: 6900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
A large and comfortable expedition backpack for long trips from a domestic manufacturer. Able to withstand heavy loads.The volume of this travel backpack is 110 liters. Successfully distributes weight over the wearer's body, which makes it comfortable to carry heavy loads. Unlike other rating models, this backpack received an easel frame. With it, the weight will be distributed more optimally, which will facilitate the carrying of goods. The top valve is fixed, but it is adjustable in height and with a large and convenient pocket. Additionally, there is also a front pocket, where it is easy to shove something you need.
It is convenient that the backpack received a waterproof bottom. Therefore, it can be safely placed on grass and damp earth: moisture will not fall on a single thing. There is also a chest strap and a waist belt, which further facilitate the operation of the backpack. The side ties are quite long, so you can shove something useful behind them. In the reviews, buyers actively praise this model, arguing that it is made very reliably and durable. Many people have been using Orlan for many years, and it has never let them down.
5 NORFIN Tactic 65
Country: Finland
Average price: 5210 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The only tactical backpack in our ranking. Formally, such models are not intended for tourism, but this one has earned a place in our ranking of the best. The volume of the model is 65 liters, so it is suitable for not too long trips and active sports. The backpack is assembled on a lightweight but durable aluminum frame. At the same time, the anatomical back provides sufficient wearing comfort. A wide waist belt is also responsible for weight distribution along with a chest strap. In the reviews, users note: the backpack is strong, sewn with dignity, but sometimes it needs to be improved.
Huge side pockets attract attention: they will fit many different medium-sized items.There is a roomy front pocket. The valve is adjustable, has a fairly large pocket. The set includes a rain cover, but even without it, the lining of the backpack does not allow excess moisture to pass inside. The main compartment contains a partition. You can get into the backpack from below. The backpack weighs only 2 kilograms, which is frankly small for a model with an aluminum frame and such a capacity.
4 Tatonka Cima Di Basso 35
Country: Germany
Average price: 5899 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Small, but remote assault backpack with a volume of 35 liters. Made in such a way that it is almost impossible for them to catch on to anything. It almost grows to the back, which makes it as comfortable as possible in the harsh conditions of a hike or climb to a height. There are practically no pockets in the backpack - only in the top flap, which is not removable or adjustable. But there are a large number of loops on which you can hang the necessary equipment. There is even a key holder. Additionally, there is a mount for an ice ax. It is convenient that the manufacturers took care of safety and added a special safety rope lock.
The backpack is very light, it weighs only 810 grams. The waist belt can be removed if it is not needed for a specific hike. The downside is that the back and straps are not ventilated at all, but this is not necessary. The interior space is not divided at all: there are no partitions or pockets. However, with such a small volume, you can do without them. On sale you can find five colors of the backpack, so that even mods can choose the right one.
3 Tramp Light 60
Country: Russia
Average price: 6400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
A good hiking backpack for tourism, created by a domestic manufacturer. Its name justifies itself - it is a lightweight model that can hold up to 60 liters. This model does not have a frame, but the comfortable anatomically shaped back allows you to carry things with comfort. Pleased with the fact that the creators have thought through the ventilation of the back. Now she won't sweat so much. A rain cover is included with the backpack, which will keep things safe even in a heavy downpour. The valve is adjustable but not removable. Reviews are mostly positive, although buyers complain about the unreliability of the rope tightening the valve.
There are side, top and chest straps, as well as a comfortable and soft waist belt. The abundance of entrances to the cavity of the backpack is striking: you can get into it from below, from above, from the side. There is a partition inside, which allows you to more thoughtfully use the space of the backpack. There are capacious pockets in the valve and on the sides of the model. Alas, you can only put something large under the ties from the side. The top ones are not too big, so they won’t be enough for a travel mat. There are no special ropes in place of the front pocket, although they can be pulled if desired.
2 Deuter Futura 28
Country: Germany
Average price: 9590 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
A trekking backpack designed for not too long trips. It holds 28 liters, so you should not expect to stuff a tent or food into it for a week. This is one of the most comfortable backpacks in our rating: anatomical straps and a back with ventilation, low weight (only 1.3 kilograms), the presence of a chest strap and waist belt make it much easier to carry an already small model.In the reviews, carriers really praise the ease of use. Although they note that due to the curved back, you will have to forget about wearing something flat and large: for example, documents or a laptop.
The top flap is adjustable, but there is no pocket, which is not very convenient. Inside the compartments are partitioned off, there is a lower entrance. There are side pockets and ties (when attaching something to the latter, the pockets become inaccessible). Despite the purpose for trekking, the model received a drinking system outlet, which greatly facilitates access to water during a hike, and an ice ax mount. The set includes a special anti-rain cover, so you do not have to worry about the safety of things.
1 Osprey Xenith 105
Country: USA
Average price: 26400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Quite an expensive backpack designed for long trips. It holds 105 liters, but due to the anatomical design and comfortable buckles on the chest and waist, it makes correctly distributed things seem less heavy. In addition to the standard access to the backpack, you can also get from below and from the side, however, with a large amount of things, this may not be very convenient. There are side ties, but they are not very long. You may have to increase them if you need to carry something overall. There are also ties closer to the bottom of the backpack, and if you wish, you can also put something behind them. Ice ax mount available.
Pleased with the abundance of pockets: they are in the top flap, on the sides and in front. Therefore, all the necessary things can be laid out so that they will always be accessible without digging up all the contents in the backpack.The model allows you to remove the drinking system, which will greatly facilitate the trip and eliminate the need to periodically slow down for the sake of "drinking". Sold in several sizes. Therefore, before buying, you should definitely try on whether the straps and ties will be comfortable enough, or you need to find a better option. Customers have a unanimous opinion about this model: 100% recommend a tourist backpack for purchase, even despite minor flaws.
