8 Best Backpacks To Get Yourself In 2024 To Travel Mess Free

Daily Objects has quickly become the brand you go to for all your everyday necessities. They might be on the pricier side for everyday items, but I personally love the relief of knowing that I'm getting a good-quality product when I order from them. The Taiga backpack has a lot of features that I love, from a bajillion pockets inside the backpack to keep you organised to the expandable water bottle holder outside (I can finally carry my thick water bottles), this backpack is great for travel and for every day. It's made from recycled PET fabric, which makes it water resistant, in a twill weave pattern that makes it quite durable as well. There's a cushioned laptop compartment for your laptop inside and a quick-access pocket on the outside with a G-hook enclosure to keep all your belongings safe. There's also a D-ring and webbing loops on shoulder straps to attach carabiners, keys, airpods, and everything else that you might want when you're travelling, whether it's across the country or to work.

Best features: Expandable water bottle pockets, water-resistant fabric

Mokobara decided to take their most functional backpack, the Transit backpack, and made it even more functional with this pro version. It's got 10 thoughtfully designed pockets to make sure you have space for literally everything, laptop (fits a 15.6" laptop) and iPad sleeve, two front quick-access pockets, five dedicated tech compartments, and two zippered pockets on the side for your water bottle or umbrella. The backpack is made of water-resistant nylon fabric, and the back of it is made with a breathable mesh fabric. Overall, the backpack has a capacity of 24 l, which is a lot for how compact and neat it looks; I'd say you can easily pack for a weekend getaway with this one backpack. 

Best features: Sunglass loop to keep your sunglasses safe when not in use, pass-through for luggage, option to personalise with your name

The Burlap People is a sustainable homegrown brand that handcrafts bags in the bylanes of suburban Calcutta. Their bags take about three to four weeks to ship. The Little Sister bag is a great day backpack when you're on the go. I can imagine myself taking this along for my day travels, exploring the city, especially because it goes from a mini backpack to a crossbody or a sling in under a minute — so I can wear it according to my outfit.  

The miniTrooper is deceivingly small-looking but can pack a lot. It opens fully, so you can pack it up with anything you might like. It's can fit a 13" laptop, tiny knick-knacks, two bottles and has additional 8 litres of free storage that gives you enough room to pack anything you might like, stuff your T-shirts, jackets and pyjamas and secure it with the attached belt to make sure nothing gets messed up in the bag.

Best features: Opens fully to pack with ease, water bottle compartments inside the bag, securing belt to pack clothes

If you're looking for a simple and clean backpack that looks clean and structured, then the Daypack from Uppercase is for you. It's available in two colours, this beige and green one and another, more striking grey and neon yellow colour. It's got everything that you need in your backpack — a front pocket for quick access, padded shoulder pads, and side pockets. 

Best features: It's structured so it can stand on it's own even when it's empty, this feature also makes it much easier for you to find the items in your bag, affordable price point

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Adidas is where I head when all else fails when it comes to backpacks. This one's a durable option (and is partly made of recycled materials). It's got a volume of 24 l, a dedicated compartment for your laptop, adjustable chest straps and a front pocket for smaller items. Above everything else, it also looks very cool and stylish, making it a great backpack for women or men. 

I recently came across CarryPro, a homegrown backpack brand, and really liked the Mojo Everyday Backpack from their collection. It's available in seven colours, you should go for yellow if you're looking for something playful. The backpack features a transparent front-zipped pocket for quick access, two D-rings and a few webbing loops to attach anything that you might want to carry, and a roll-up closure. The bag also comes with a one-year warranty, which is a testament to the quality of its build.

Best features: Transparent quick-access pouch in the front, lightweight so you can carry it anywhere you go.

To make things slightly more fashionable, opt for this quilted bag from Accessorise London. It's available in black colour other than this Khaki one. The top handles make it easy to carry on the go, and the shoulder straps are there to make it easier when your hands are tired. The bag looks like it can fit a lot, with one main compartment, one front zipper, and two side pockets for your water bottle. 

Best features: Gold details, quilted design
