What do you look for in a backpack?

backpacks

We all have our own little things that we prefer in our backpacks. Some of us like lots of little pockets, while others can’t stand the thought. Many like backpacks big enough to fit everything and the kitchen sink, while other prefers a smaller pack for the minimalist approach.

I was just wondering what criteria everyone used when picking out their backpack for their travels?

Is it…

  • Price
  • Durability
  • Size
  • Comfort
  • Pockets
  • Style
  • Brand

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts and ideas on this very important purchase.

    I want my backpack to be as compact as possible. I appreciate spacious bags but they shouldn’t be of a great size. The backpack itself should be light. And I like when a travelling gear is multi-proposal.

    I like a big bag when I am going to be up in the woods. It needs to be comfortable when carrying heavy loads and must have a lot of pockets.

    The pocket comment is funny… some people love a ton of pockets, while others hate them. I used to be a pocket guy until I started having things stole out of them…
