Outdoor suburban backpack for $ 225:: We love everything that does a lot, to hand luggage has toilet bags. This bag is attractive, water resistant and full of organized pockets; The equipment also feels premium. But $ 225 is steep, and we have other options with similar features for less.

Lo & sounds Hanover 2 for $ 179:: The Hanover 2 has an intelligent, padded and detachable insert with four pockets. Use it to work to store a day planner, notebooks, a cup of coffee and a bottle of water, or remove and replace it by A layer-to-layer stationTiny rain jackets and apparently thousands of plush animals for young.
Capable of transporting daily for $ 139:: This pack is thin, so you can stuff it in the brim before it starts to become bulky. And stuff it full, because it has a pocket to All. THE Thirteen day bags for $ 149 is similar but slightly smaller.
Solo’s Re: Fresh Machine Washable Backpack for $ 50:: The affordable light bag of solo is made from 15 recycled plastic bottles, and it is supposed to be washed by machine up to 12 times. We have sometimes washed the bags that are not intended for this, and without problem, but if you (or your child) is subject to the damage, it is good that it is done to endure the rigors of the washer.
Dishonorable

Rothy laptop backpack for $ 299:: This knitting backpack is magnificent, and we generally love Rothy products, which are made from recycled plastic which would otherwise find its way in the oceans. However, there are too many impracticable design details. It’s too disquketing; The hidden zipper is at the back of the backpack, instead of the front, which makes the opening more difficult; The lip of the outer zipped pocket goes upwards, so it collects water instead of losing it. It’s charming, but not practical.
Rhake mission workshop for $ 545:: This roll bag has a tonne Pockets, and its two -layer construction and its Velcro closures keep the contents of dry. But these pockets are not easy or quick to access, it is heavy, and it is even more expensive than when we tried it (and climbed).
Classic adventurous backpack for $ 60:: This affordable and attractive backpack is much less than $ 100, and for each backpack purchased, 25 meals are given to families in the United States. It is almost just a leather pocket that you wear on your back, however, and the light leather straps were boring and useless.
Our favorite accessories
Oh, you have a backpack and you just have … put things in it? And wear them? It’s great if it works for you, but don’t worry if it is not. Most of us use an additional organization system. (This also allows us to change bags quickly and easily while we test.)
Ventapak for $ 46:: The Ventapak is registered at the back of your bag, pushing your package about 2 inches from you, increasing the air flow and hope that perspiration. Surprisingly, he didn’t seem super obvious, and only 12 ounces, that doesn’t add much weight. There are standard and small sizes, so consult the website measures if you do not know if it will adapt to your bag.
Dapper STM packaging for $ 20: This is my favorite technological organizer for cables. It wraps everything I need – my laptop load block, a few USB -C cables, one or two portable batteries – and deployed it carefully so that everything is visible. No cable rat nests here!
Eagle Creek Pack-IT XS for $ 15:: My husband is packing a small toothbrush and a toothpaste here so that he can brush his teeth after lunch or after leaving a plane. It’s a good habit, and no one has ever offered gum in a way. You should also do it.
SCHEC DELFONICS for $ 26:: Almost all bag manufacturers also make organizational sachets. I like Lalfonics and Gaga Because they are affordable and come in a wide variety of bright sizes and colors. The bright colors are easy to see at the bottom of a bag!
Herschel pencil case for $ 22:: Yes, each backpack usually has a pocket or two. Even at this digital time, it is not enough writing utensils, especially if you use A paper planner. Get a pencil case and tear them from falling at the bottom of your bag and explodes.
