Backpacks in Bags & Accessories

What features are most useful in a backpack?

When choosing a backpack, look for features like the number of pockets and the amount of interior space for storage. A backpack with multiple pockets can make it easier to stay organized and find items easily, while a laptop sleeve holds your laptop secure. Look for a backpack with a full zipper to give you maximum access to what’s inside.

Are backpacks waterproof?

Some backpacks do have a waterproof fabric in their design, but few of them are truly waterproof. However, many backpacks will keep your belongings dry long enough for you to get from the car to the door. If you want a waterproof backpack for camping, you may need to look for one designed specifically for outdoor use.

How do you choose a backpack that won’t hurt your back?

A backpack with a padded back can protect you from the sharp corners of books and pencil tips. Wide, padded straps tend to feel more comfortable than narrow straps. Chest and waist straps help distribute the weight of the backpack evenly. Consider a rolling backpack if you want to keep the weight off your back.
