Backpacks

Variants for everyday use

If you regularly need to carry heavy folders and many gadgets, versions with wide, padded shoulder straps are to be preferred. Generally, the wider the shoulder straps, the better the weight distribution. That's why soft straps are standard on travel backpacks. If you want one that is as flexible as possible, we recommend models with roll-top closure: their volume can be adjusted according to the situation. Customizable are also backpacks with bag function: thanks to stowable or detachable shoulder straps, they also can be used as shoulder bags. Business backpacks look particularly good in the office. In addition to their attractive appearance, they impress with good organization and a padded laptop compartment. A backpack with a power bank also ensures a continuous supply of electricity. Business backpacks made of genuine leather are timelessly beautiful and robust but have a relatively high weight. A canvas backpack is ideal for both everyday routine and leisure activities: it is lighter than a leather backpack but has similar strength.

Backpacks for free time

Hiking and trekking backpacks are very functional. Their design is perfectly adapted to ensure that the backpack fits perfectly to the back and does not become uncomfortable during long periods of carrying. The more sophisticated the carrying system is (padded shoulder straps, mesh back, hip belt), the heavier the backpack can be loaded. If the ergonomics are right, the back and shoulders will not be overloaded. Also, note that most of the load should be on the hips to relieve the shoulders in the long run. Our tip: Stow heavy things best in the main compartment, as close to the back as possible. Small items and light things are well stored in the outer compartment as well as in the side pockets where they can be reached quickly. Important: the guideline for the maximum load weight is 25% of your own body weight. However, the same principle applies when it comes to travel backpacks. Typical features of these models include a side carry handle, a ¾ opening and water-repellent materials.

Sustainable backpacks

With sustainable models, you can do something good not only for your back but also for the environment. Because resource-saving production is characterized by low consumption of water and energy, as well as the absence of harmful chemicals. Models made from renewable raw materials such as cotton or recycled materials such as PET bottles are also environmentally friendly. In line with the upcycling philosophy, backpacks are also made from used canvas or truck tarpaulin. Leather backpacks from sustainable production are vegetable tanned. The natural tanning method does not involve the use of chrome, so there is no toxic wastewater or residue. When backpacks are labelled vegan, they have been made completely without materials of animal origin. Brands that strive for the smallest possible ecological footprint continue to rely on environmentally friendly packaging.
