FAQ

Are these backpacks good for work?

Yes! Many compact designs include padded laptop compartments, secure document storage and a professional look, making them perfect for daily commutes. They provide the convenience of a backpack while maintaining a polished aesthetic for professional settings. If you regularly carry a laptop, documents or business essentials, consider a model with multiple compartments and a dedicated device sleeve for extra protection.

What size is best for daily use?

The ideal size depends on what you plan to carry, but most day backpacks range between 15 litre and 30 litre volume, balancing storage space and portability.

• 10L - 15L: Best for minimalists - fits essentials like a water bottle, wallet, phone and a small tablet or notebook.
• 15L - 20L: Ideal for everyday use - room for a laptop (13"- 15"), charger, documents and a few personal items.
• 20L - 30L: A great all-rounder - provides space for a laptop (up to 16"), work essentials, a light jacket and even gym gear.

If you're unsure, a 20L backpack is a safe choice for most daily activities, offering enough space without feeling bulky.

Can I use one of these for hiking?

Absolutely! Many models are lightweight, breathable and designed with comfort in mind, making them ideal for short hikes, city exploration or outdoor activities. Look for backpacks with padded shoulder straps, ventilated back panels and secure fastenings to keep your load stable. If you need to carry extra gear like water bottles, snacks or a light jacket, opt for a model with side pockets and adjustable straps.

Are these backpacks water-resistant?

Most feature water-resistant coatings to protect your belongings from light rain, but they are not fully waterproof. If you're frequently exposed to wet conditions, look for backpacks with sealed zips, reinforced fabric or built-in rain covers for extra protection. Alternatively, carrying a small packable rain cover ensures your bag stays dry in unexpected weather.
