Things to Keep in Mind When Buying the Best Carry on Backpack
Backpacks are the epitome of convenience during travel. If you’ve ever had to drag a heavy suitcase up and down flights of stairs at the airport or been stuck in a gravel path with a wheeled bag, you’ll know the struggle to lag behind your backpacked friends who can move effortlessly without a bulky piece of luggage stopping them. When shopping for the best carry on backpack for your travels, there are certain things that you should keep in mind—first of which is size.
Carry on, and travel backpacks vary in size. One reason why light packers love backpack carry-ons is that these bags help them save money on baggage fees. A smaller pack reduces your baggage fees and helps you pack less, so there’s less weight on your back as you travel from one place to another. The great thing about carry-on backpacks is that they are just the right size for overhead bins and for stuffing under seats or perhaps even setting on your lap for short travels.
The best carry on backpack is also one that fits your back well. When finding the right fit for a carry on the pack, ask practical questions about the way the strap sits on your shoulders, the fabric or material of panels or components that tend to rub against your back or the back of your arms, hip belt alignment, and physical dimensions—you don’t want a pack that eats up your entire back.
Choose a carry-on backpack with convenient panel access (whether you are a top-loading or a side loading-type of packer). It also pays to look into other details like the quality and properties of the bag’s material (water-resistant fabrics are your best option) and other features like internal framing, compression straps, shoulder harness, and other convenient properties.
