FAQ

What should I look for in a men’s backpack?

When choosing a men's backpack, focus on three key factors: size, comfort and functionality. For work, a structured backpack with a padded laptop compartment, dedicated document storage and RFID-blocking pockets can help keep your essentials secure and organised. If you commute daily, consider a model with ergonomic, padded straps and a ventilated back panel for all-day comfort.

For travel, a lightweight yet durable backpack with multiple compartments is essential for keeping items organised and accessible. Features like lockable zips, hidden security pockets and suitcase sleeves to attach to luggage can add extra convenience. If you need a backpack for casual use, opt for a versatile design that offers a good balance between portability and storage space.

Additionally, consider water-resistant materials if you frequently travel in unpredictable weather, and look for expandable compartments if you need extra packing flexibility. Choosing a backpack with the right features will ensure it meets your needs, whether for work, travel or everyday life.

What size backpack is best for men?

The best backpack size depends on how and where you plan to use it. A small backpack (15L-20L) is ideal for carrying everyday essentials like a tablet, wallet, phone and a few personal items, making it great for city life or short commutes. These compact designs are lightweight and easy to carry, offering just enough space without bulk.

A medium backpack (20L-30L) is the best choice for professionals and students who need room for a laptop, notebooks and other work or study essentials. This size strikes the perfect balance between portability and storage, making it a great option for both office use and short trips.

If you need a larger backpack (30L-40L+), it’s best suited for travellers or those who require extra space for gym gear, weekend trips, or carrying multiple devices. These backpacks often feature multiple compartments for organised packing and may include additional travel-friendly features like a strap for easy attachment to suitcases.

Ultimately, the right size will depend on your daily needs. If you’re looking for a multi-purpose backpack, consider a design with expandable storage that can adapt to different situations.
