How to Choose the Best Backpacks on Sale

What to look for in a backpack

When searching for the best backpack on sale for you, there are two things to focus on: size and comfort. On one hand, it's important to ensure that your bag will fit exactly what you need it to. Size it to fit any laptops or tech accessories that it might need to hold, then consider comfort. Larger bags will naturally sit heavier and longer on the body, but details such as padded shoulder straps and hip belt help to maximize the wearer's comfort.

Work backpacks tend to be sleeker and more slender, while hiking backpacks are typically built from high-visibility ripstop nylon with plenty of elastics and pockets. Search out key features like top carry handles, felt-lined tech accessory pockets, and water bottle side pockets to suit your needs.

Common types of backpacks

There are a ton of different types of backpacks available—and they're all great for different reasons.

Laptop backpacks are great for students and professionals. They typically include a felt-lined pocket to keep your laptop and other devices safe during your commute. They're sized for the diagonal width of your laptop or tablet screen, so sizing is easy.

Everyday travel backpacks are a little less specific. These bags might not have a lined technology pocket or laptop pocket, but they come in a wider variety of sizes and styles. Laptop backpacks on sale offer a stylish option to carry with you throughout your day, and pair excellently with a separate laptop or tablet sleeve for those who still need to carry a piece of tech around with them.

Hiking backpacks look different from most city bags, but they're still a great backpack to find on sale. They're generally much larger than a city backpack or travel backpack on sale, with space for a bed roll, water bottle, and more.

Advantages of buying a backpack on sale

When you find the right bag, finding it on sale just sweetens the deal. You're still getting the same high-quality bag with the shape, padding, or ergonomic support that you were looking for, but you get to spend a little less on it. Backpacks are an item that go out of style very slowly, so buying an older or on sale backpack is a great way to express your individual personality while staying on-trend.
