Before you go looking for the perfect backpack, you first need to think about how and when you're going to use it. While there's a backpack for every situation, not every situation suits the same backpack.
What makes backpacks versatile?
An empty backpack is a blank canvas for you to put your own stamp on. Some people are happy with a water bottle and a good book, while others will fill every pocket to prepare themselves for any eventuality.
Your backpack is the gateway to making the most of your day, with maximum comfort and style.
When making your decision, there are a few fundamental things to look out for. Volume is usually the first, making sure it's big enough for everything you're planning to put in it. Then there's weight, which needs to be appropriate so it's not pulling you down on a long journey. And finally, consider the pockets, with a huge variety of options around internal and external zips and sleeves.
Why are backpacks perfect for commuting?
Whatever form of travel you take, your backpack is the ideal way to get your essential equipment into work and back home again, with the occasional detour to the gym.
If you're cycling there are options that help keep your back sweat-free, and if you're on public transport, a backpack keeps your hands free to read a book, play a game, or reply to those emails that have been clogging up your inbox.
And when you get to work, either at the office, a construction site, or the set of a blockbuster movie, your backpack can be neatly tucked away somewhere until hometime.
How have backpack styles evolved?
Haversacks, knapsacks, backpacks have been around for centuries, helping people carry wood, their worldly belongings, and now super-expensive laptops. While the function has changed, the form has stayed relatively true to the original.
Materials however have come on leaps and bounds. Lightweight, durable, secure and eco-friendly, you'll barely notice your backpack is there until you take a glance at the striking design when you walk past a mirror.
