Backpacks

When shopping for a backpack, you'll find a wide range of options in terms of construction, use and style. The best type of backpack for you will depend on what you want to use it for.

The simplest type of backpack is the frameless daypack, which has no rigid structure. Daypacks are good choices for carry-on luggage on planes, since they're easy to squeeze under seats and into baggage compartments. Laptop backpacks are daypacks with a padded compartment designed to hold your laptop, to protect it and prevent it from jostling and scratching other items in the pack. School backpacks are generally daypacks with extra storage capacity and specialized pockets and compartments designed for carrying notebooks, folders, pens, pencils and other school supplies. If your child has many books to transport, a roller backpack can be a good choice. Kids' roller backpacks have wheels and usually feature extendable handles to spare your child's back and shoulders.

Hiking backpacks or camping backpacks have a greater capacity and have compartments and straps designed to hold camping supplies. Most hiking and camping backpacks today are have internal frames, although you'll find some external frame backpacks as well.
