Backpacks

Backpacks aren’t just for kids to lug their schoolbooks in anymore. They’ve evolved into the perfect travel companions for work or weekend trips, too. Travel backpacks for women and men come in all different shapes, sizes, styles, and weights, and typically check the carry-on luggage box so you won’t have to pay a hefty checked baggage fee. Let’s get you packed for your next big (or small) adventure.

Carry-On Approved Travel Backpacks
Carry-on backpacks typically meet the required dimensions for most airlines (22” H x 14” W x 9” D), but you should always check your specific airline to ensure your backpack meets their specifications. Remember, if you purchase a travel backpack with wheels, you should include the wheels and handles in your height measurement. If you’re traveling with a whole luggage set, remember that each airline often has a maximum weight of 50 pounds for each checked bag.

Work or Weekend Travel Backpacks
Small travel backpacks are often equipped with a padded laptop compartment, making them perfect for work trips. Away backpacks with extra pockets are ideal if you have lots of gadgets you need to bring with you on your trip. You’ll rest easier knowing they are waterproof and have a built-in USB port if you need to charge up at the airport. If you’re just jet-setting for the weekend, you’ll probably want a lightweight backpack or duffle bag so you’re not loaded down by a ton of heavy bags. You’ll find everything from versatile black leather backpacks to mini backpacks that can double as a crossbody bag. These bags are spacious enough to pack all your go-to travel accessories and a couple of outfits.
