Which Features Matter Most in an Urban Backpack?
We work with top brands to offer durable backpacks that won’t let you down and will stand up to daily use. Often inspired by hiking models, both in terms of design and performance, outdoor brands provide robust, high-quality products.
While toughness and build quality are essential, added features can offer everyday comfort and practicality. Here are some useful elements to look for, depending on your needs:
– 'Organizer' compartments (for stationery and small items).
– Dedicated laptop and/or tablet compartments.
– External pockets for quick access to your essentials.
– Chest straps to balance heavier loads and improve comfort, especially on larger models, helping to protect your back.
What Style of Backpack Is Best for Urban Use?
Eco-Friendly Urban Backpacks from Picture and Patagonia
Top outdoor brands like Picture Organic Clothing and Patagonia offer a wide range of street-style backpacks made using environmentally friendly methods. For example, Picture’s urban backpacks and Patagonia’s city backpacks use materials such as recycled polyester and organic cotton to help reduce environmental impact. Both brands are also committed to ethical manufacturing and fair labour conditions.
Backpacks with Skate Carry Systems
You’ll find skate-friendly options in the Burton backpack range and among the street backpacks from Dakine.
Vintage-Style Backpacks
Whether in bold or muted colours, ethnic prints, drawstring closures or flap pockets — retro backpacks are very much in style. These vintage models are inspired by the colours and materials of classic hiking packs, combined with modern functionality and comfort.
How to Choose the Right School Backpack?
The School Backpack: A Choice Not to Overlook
We also offer more classic, ergonomic and durable models for everyday school use. Each brand offers its own styles, colours and sizes — the choice is yours! However, don’t overlook the importance of selecting a proper school backpack. It might seem like a minor purchase, but since it’s used every day, if the bag lacks ergonomic support, it could cause discomfort or even back pain.
Why Choose a School Backpack from an Outdoor Brand?
School backpack brands like Deuter, Dakine, Thule and Patagonia apply their expertise in technical and hiking backpacks to everyday school bags, making them more ergonomic. Given the weight of school supplies, books and folders, it’s essential to choose a backpack that’s comfortable to carry. Features like load-lifters, padded back panels and cushioned shoulder straps are not just extras — they’re ergonomic essentials often missing from mainstream backpack designs.
What Are the Advantages of Different School Backpack Models?
As well as being ergonomic, the backpacks we offer come packed with features, with each brand offering its own unique strengths.
Dakine’s Mission model is a must-have, combining laptop and tablet compartments with a skate carry system. It also includes ergonomic features like a chest strap, hip belt, and quick-access external pockets.
Burton offers serious competition with their Kilo Pack — perfect for school and skating alike. It boasts generous volume and features including a skate carry system, laptop and tablet compartments, organiser pockets, and multiple internal and external storage spaces.
Deuter and Thule take a more minimalist and functional approach, offering compact, well-organised backpacks. The Deuter Giga and Thule Enroute Triumph 2 offer all the ergonomics and look of a true hiking backpack while featuring all the compartments you need for carrying your laptop, documents, supplies, and more.
