Five Essential Backpacks for Summer

By Isabelle Lui1 March 2018Updated:20 May 2020

You don’t have to be out climbing mountains or exploring temples to pull off a savvy pack look. Combining style and practicality, these durable backpacks will be your best friend, on the trail, or on the tube.

Backpacks are back baby, but that doesn’t mean they’ve all been designed with the active lad in mind. What you need for life’s little adventures is a marriage of style and durability, performance, and usability, with enough features to keep things interesting, but not enough that your backpack comes with a user manual. We think we know what you need.
