5 Best travel backpacks

Travelling is one of the most exciting, eye-opening things we can do. It allows us to see things in a new way and try things we never would have tried at home. However, as we all know, packing can be a nightmare. Fitting everything you need in one bag can be nearly impossible, particularly if you are going on an extended trip.

When you buy a backpack to take travelling or interrailing, there are a few things you need to look out for. First, you need to see how much you are going to take with you. Do you need a 50L bag or a 70L one? Next, you need to be sure that the bag is strong enough to hold the weight of everything you are going to put inside it. No one wants to find themselves in a train station with their 70L bag hanging on with just one strap. And, finally, you need to choose a bag that you actually like. But, fear not, because each of these 5 bags are some of the best travel backpacks on the market.

Osprey is one of the best brands for rucksacks. The bag’s frame suspension transfers the weight from your shoulders to the hipbelt, allowing you to travel more comfortably. The bag also comes with a mesh back panel, which makes it much more breathable.

The bag has a sleek, minimalist design which means it can be paired with any style. Whether you’re visiting Switzerland in a thick, wool coat or the south of France in shorts and a t-shirt, the bag will match your look. This bag does say it is marketed for men, but, of course, it can be unisex.

If you’re looking for something more affordable, the Amazon Basics Backpack is a great choice. It’s much cheaper than many travel bags that are on the market and does not sacrifice any of the utility or space that comes with more expensive bags.

The bag may not be as sleek as some of the more high-end bags, but it’s simple style lets you focus on the main thing you need to focus on when travelling: the moment. Amazon’s bag has one purpose and that is to get you from A to B, so you can explore whichever city you find yourself in or whatever mountain you choose to climb.

The Homiee Hiking Backpack, in many ways, combines the best two parts of the Osprey and Amazon bags. It has the Amazon bag’s low price and the stylish edge of the Osprey bag, so it’s a great choice if you want to strike a good balance between style and affordability.

The bag is made with both comfort and utility in mind. It has external straps that allow you to hang sleeping bags or tents from, as well as an ergonomic carrying system designed to make the bag comfortable on your shoulders.

The Eurohike Backpack is a great choice because of how adaptable it is. Besides having a great amount of storage, it comes with a water bladder and an internal security pocket (which can help keep important items, such as your passport, safe).

The Eurohike Backpack is also very lightweight, weighing just 1.38kg as opposed to its industry rivals which can weigh up to nearly 2kg. If you’re going to go hiking when you travel, then the Eurohike backpack is the perfect bag for you.

The Mountain Warehouse Tor backpack has two great advantages over its industry rivals. First, the Mountain Warehouse brand is one of the most trusted in the industry, so quality is guaranteed. Secondly, the backpack’s adjustable back allows you to change how the bag fits according to your needs.

Available in both blue and green, this is a great choice if you want a bag that you can depend on.
