Nicest backpack I 've ever owned. Lots of small, thoughtful touches( a clip and lanyard for keys, magnetic rests for zippers). Lots of pockets- maybe even too many but I have a hard time citing that as a complaint. A couple of little nits but generally an excellent very practical and stylish bag.

5 Newyorkcitygirlie
I love this backpack! Has pockets in all the right places. Perfect for work and travel

5 Liz
I plan on using it as my personal item rather than a purse for an upcoming trip. I like the idea of being able to carry my kindle, neckrest, shoes phone and my wallet rather than in my carryon for easy access. The fact that it hooks on to my Away Bigger Carry On is exactly what I was looking for.

5 DW
Really useful, looks very nice and has lots of smart ways to pack things away. Really good detail too, overall very happy with the purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting a commutable backpack.

5 Bambam
Good for work travel and fits easy under the airline seat. The bag could use a couple of more interior pockets with smaller depths. The current pockets( and there are plenty!) all extend to the bottom of the bag. Which means you re reaching all the way down to the bottom of the bag to find stuff. It's a minor inconvenience, but could be avoided.

Nice large sports bag! Separate pockets for shoes, laptop, and other gear. Wide pocket that opens to the front and not the top, which may be a little odd for some people. I like how large the bags feels.

Very large Backpack. Four separate zipper compartments and one side pocket for water bottle. Separate compartment for shoes so they do n't touch other items. Soft lined compartment for electronic items. This is not for kids, good for adults to travel or school.

Bought this for my son as a school backpack. He is in the building trades program and needs to have work boots/work clothes and the full access zipper makes loading and unloading much easier than a tradition backpack, while having the convenience of carrying and not having the carry an additional duffel. So far the quality seems great, but we did purchase the protection plan just in case.

Very sturdy and solid backpack. Has several pockets and seems like it will hold up for a middle school and high school wear and tear. The only downside is that it seems medium Size compared to other competitors. Overall this will get a solid option for a school bag.

5 Hayley
I got this bag in black. The DSG Ultimate backpack 4. 0 is a very useful and functional bag, and it is light without any items in it. There are big and small pockets inside and outside of the backpack. I can easily fit in my 13 ” MacBook Pro in the laptop slot. It won ’ t be a problem to fit in a 15 ” MacBook too. Both sides of the backpack have the water bottle slot as compared to others that usually have one. There is a small compartment on the outside upper backpack that is lined and padded, can be used to put mobile phone. The straps of the backpack are padded for comfortability on the shoulders. Overall this is a very good backpack for the value.

5 David M.
Very lightweight backpack with tons of pockets for everything you would need to take for school or any other event where there ’s a need for separation of stuff. My son will be using it for school where in the pictures he was able to fit a laptop with separate pockets for his mouse and cords. There ’s also a pocket for his cell phone and his graphing calculator. There was plenty more room for his notebook and books as well as pencils and other school accoutrements. The side pockets allowed to hold his drink container or bottle and the other side an all umbrellas. There ’s padding in the back for all heavy loads and there ’s breathability so he ’s not heavily sweating. Great fit for him and the plain design fits his needs.

5 JCKM
Sturdy, good quality, holds a lot. Highlights include: thick sturdy strap at the top, cushioned back, solid water bottle holders on each side( vs. mesh that tend to rip easily), rubber bottom so that it won ’ t slide when set down, cushioned laptop holder and multiple zipped pockets for all various sizes of items.

5 PattyAN

This is a great backpack with multi purpose use. I like the black color, but other colors look great as well. The size is perfect- not too small, not too bulky. Can be easily used to carry multiple style laptops- bigger and smaller. Has 4 different zipper pockets and lots of storage areas in each pocket. I truly love the DSG brand!

[ The Transcend 50L Hiking Backpack: A Versatile Companion for the Trail The Transcend 50L Hiking Backpack is a formidable choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a durable, versatile, and comfortable backpack for their adventures. Having used this backpack on several hiking trips, I can confidently say it's a reliable companion for both day hikes and extended treks.** Durability( 5/5):** The Transcend 50L is built to last. Its rugged materials and reinforced stitching make it resilient against wear and tear. Even after traversing through rough terrains, the backpack showed minimal signs of damage, a testament to its outstanding durability.** Capacity( 4/5):** With a 50- liter capacity, this backpack strikes a great balance between being spacious enough to hold all your essentials and compact enough to prevent overpacking. The main compartment easily accommodates clothing, camping gear, and food supplies, while the numerous pockets and attachments allow for organized storage of smaller items.** Comfort( 4/5):** The padded shoulder straps and back panel provide decent comfort, especially during long hikes. The airflow system helps keep your back cool and minimizes discomfort caused by sweat. However, some users might find the hip belt padding a bit lacking for heavier loads, and it could be improved for even more comfort during extended treks.** Features( 4/5):** The Transcend 50L boasts various thoughtful features, such as multiple gear loops, hydration reservoir compatibility, and adjustable straps for securing your gear. It also includes a rain cover, which is a valuable addition for keeping your belongings dry in inclement weather. The only downside is that some users may find the zippers a bit tricky to operate, especially when the bag is fully loaded.** Price( 5/5):** The Transcend 50L offers great value for its price point. It competes well with more expensive hiking backpacks on the market while maintaining a reasonable cost. In summary, the Transcend 50L Hiking Backpack is a reliable choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a durable and reasonably priced backpack. Its versatile design, decent comfort, and excellent durability make it suitable for a wide range of hiking adventures. While it might not be the absolute best in every aspect, it delivers a commendable overall performance that will serve you well on the trails.

[ This backpack has so much space! There are countless pockets for optimizing storage of all your goods and makes everything so easy to access.

And the material itself seems durable and lightweight!

I got this backpack to prepare for my 3 month trip in the Caribbean and it ’s has been so helpful to say the least. I have an overpacking problem but all of the different compartments and pockets made it so I could fit everything I needed. The support on the backside of it helps so much with my back pain and doesn ’ t make me feel exhausted at the end of a busy travel day. Furthermore, the top bit comes off as a smaller backpack which was perfect for day trips. The only thing i would change would be the smaller buckles that attach the front pocket to the bag, they were a little weak. However, I don ’ t have any worry they will come undone when I check it at the airport. Overall, this bag has been a HUGE help!! It definitely has made my traveling much easier.

5 sanahk2
[ This Ampex 65L transcend backpack is quite impressive. It checks all high- end features like- waterproof material, little pockets for essentials is awesome.

This is a great backpack for the price. I am giving it 5 stars because it's everything you would want and need in a pack. The middle zipper opening is an amazing feature that allows you to get into your items without having to pull everything out from the top like a conventional pack. One downside are the hip straps. I feel they could be slightly larger for the size of pack, I had some discomfort but nothing terribly bad, likely had more to do with me being out of shape as well. I recommended this to a buddy and he has one and uses it quite often like myself.

5 Ernesto_hbr
I went backpacking in Linville Gorge, NC for three days, and honestly, my best choice was the 65L backpack. It fit what I needed and had plenty of room to spare. The support to keep my back from sweating, the elastic exterior pockets, and the included small daypack are my favorite details. I would change the side straps for the rigid mat to be a little longer, and the phone holder to be more elastic, since my S23 Ultra does n't fit. I highly recommend this backpack without a doubt.

[ I needed a new bag for my laptop and to carry things for our kiddos. This bag is trendy, sleek and practical! I love that it does not look or feel like the standard laptop bulky bag! I would definitely recommend!

[ Very impressed with this bags size. Not always sure when you don ’ t see it in person prior to delivery. It will be my daughter backpack for her freshmen year at college. Seems durable and I would recommend it for the upcoming school year for sure.

[ Looks like the photos! I 'd love this in multiple colors. I workout multiple times a week. I like a bag that can fit nearly everything I need for the day. It's easy to clean and has quality zippers. I filled the bag to the max& they did n't get off track. The straps are sturdy and comfortable. I appreciate that they do n't dig into my shoulders. There's a side pocket for my water bottle and a loop I can use to hook my keys. There's also an inside pocket for smaller items( ie: airpods, keys, lip balm.) I would recommend.

[ As someone who's always on the move, finding a backpack that adapts to my unpredictable days is essential. The Nike Aura Backpack has been a game- changer. It ’s a 24- literally bag which I feel is an ample size for work essentials, gym gear, and personal items. Its main pocket is very spacious, it has a mesh liner inside to keep things in place while still having plenty of room for other items, there ’s also a bonus zipper inside where you can keep a wallet and have it secured. The side pocket is perfect for a water bottle, and you don ’ t have to worry about it being too large because the pocket has a an elastic band that gives more leeway for bigger bottles and doesn ’ t puff up when you remove the bottle keeping it sleek. The front pocket is also spacious, ideal for smaller items like deodorant, keys, snacks etc. The material is smooth and the backpack feels lightweight. I don ’ t have any gripes with the backpack, if anything I would have added a rubber or sturdier sole for the bottom to avoid wear and tear from being placed on various surfaces. Overall, I highly recommend the backpack for any instance. And don ’ t worry, even if you have the bag on for extended periods, the straps are smooth and don ’ t cause any discomfort. If you ’ re looking for a backpack, look no further

5 Grace
[ This backpack is sleek and versatile, and a good fit both for work/travel, as well as packing things for school or the gym. It comfortably fits a laptop, a book and lunchbox, or a pair of shoes and a change of clothes. The size is great for day use without being too bulky. The black color gives it a timeless look, while the smartly designed compartments keep everything organized, from my laptop to smaller essentials, and it includes a pocket for your water bottle on the side. The finish& material make it go well with a more sporty look, as well as adding a fun touch when pairing it with a school outfit. Definitely would recommend!

5 LaurenC
[ There ’s plenty of room in this backpack, with lots of pockets to keep everything organized. The main compartment is big enough for all your gear( I put a basketball and shoes in there and the zipper had no problems closing). There is an interior and an exterior zipper pocket to hold your keys, wallet, and phone, while the side elastic pocket fit my 24 oz water bottle. But the backpack looked a little small on me. I am 5'10 '' and the bag was about half the size of my back when full. It looked much better on my wife, who is 5' 8 ''. I would also not put a laptop in here as there is not much padding on the interior. Otherwise, the bag is lightweight with comfortable, adjustable shoulder straps. The top loop feels much more durable than the rest of the backpack so I would feel confident holding my belongings by just the top loop. All in all, this backpack is worth checking out if you are looking for a modern, practical athletic bag for daily use.

5 Tina
[ The Nike Aura backpack is awesome. One of the most important factors for choosing a backpack is its ability to fit my fashion style. With its sleek design and adjustable straps this backpack blends style in functionality perfectly.

I bought this backpack for day trips. There's room enough for everything I need for a day trip or overnight. The deep purple color I chose is exactly how it appeared online. I plan to buy another( maybe different style/color) in future, and maybe a sternum strap, too. I prefer carrying it by the short handle on top or over one shoulder. I 'm a senior on the move.

I love my Beta Light 30 backpack!! The top opens up nice and wide so I can see what I ’ ve packed readily. The XS size fits me like a glove and it is so roomy yet very light weight. I have t yet tested the waterproof quality, but I have little doubt that it will hold up to the elements as proclaimed by other happy customers. I absolutely love Black Diamond products! High quality and dependable.

I have n't used this pack but it looks great, with excellent materials, pockets and overall construction. It also seems to tick most boxes for ultra runners who may be doing multi- day events requiring a lot of mandatory gear. Some runners may question the design choice of having only one side of the vest strap capable of carrying a 500ml soft flask. Perhaps this is the preferred option for fastpacking but having capacity for two soft flasks in addition to two zippered pockets on either side like the BD Distance 15 pack would be ideal, at least for ultra runners.

4 Jean-Luc B.
As an ultralight Backpacker, I leave my honest review here. First, I have to say that I was excited when I got this backpack; the fabrics and the implementation are outstanding excellent job Black Diamond. The fast backpack idea with those extra shoulder straps makes this backpack ideal. Not only is this one waterproof or almost, but it is merely one of the best backpacks I ever owned. Believe it or not, I have tried several UL backpacks in my career. The only downside I see is that the shoulder pocket with the zipper is too tiny to hold a standard- sized cell phone comfortably. If I had a bigger one, I could guarantee it would never fit inside.

Excellent well designed backpack. It can hold your shoes and ball. The built in netting can hold a volleyball and then can be put away if Not. The bottle holders on both sides can hold a 40 oz metal bottle and are so deep, the bottles will not fall out. Ultra durable. Even with shoes on the inside, there is plenty of room for books, laptop and any other things you keep such as phone, headphones etc. The straps on the bottom hold my roller massager. This bag is so much better than a standard backpack for volleyball players.

[ Bought this a month ago as an alternative to my RF Tournament bag, and it's perfect for a lighter hitting session. I can fit a maximum of 3 rackets in the racket compartment. In the main compartment, I can easily fit my SwingVision stick, a few cans of balls, and a change of clothes. There's also a laptop compartment, which makes it a great backpack if you 're a commuter or are looking for a versatile, portable bag you can bring to work. There's also two insulated compartments on each side of the bag where you can store a water bottle and/or sports drink. Overall very happy with my purchase!

Frequently Asked Questions For Functional Backpacks

When selecting a functional backpack, consider features such as multiple compartments for organization, padded straps for comfort, and water-resistant materials for durability. Additionally, look for backpacks with adjustable features to ensure a proper fit and those with external attachment points for added versatility. A functional backpack should also have a design that suits your intended use, whether for daily commuting, travel, or outdoor activities.

Functional backpacks are often made from a variety of materials, including nylon, polyester, and canvas, each offering different benefits. Nylon and polyester are typically lightweight and water-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor use, while canvas can provide a more rugged and durable option. It's important to choose a material that aligns with your needs, whether you prioritize weight, durability, or weather resistance.

Functional backpacks come in various styles, including daypacks, hiking backpacks, and laptop backpacks, each designed for specific purposes. Daypacks are generally smaller and great for short outings, while hiking backpacks often feature additional support and storage for longer adventures. Laptop backpacks are designed with padded compartments to protect electronics, making them ideal for students and professionals.

Choosing the right size for a functional backpack depends on your intended use and the items you plan to carry. Consider the volume of the backpack, typically measured in liters, to ensure it meets your needs. Additionally, check the dimensions to ensure it fits comfortably on your back and can accommodate your gear without being overly bulky.

Yes, many functional backpacks are specifically designed for outdoor activities, offering features that enhance performance and comfort. Look for backpacks with hydration reservoir sleeves, reinforced stitching, and weather-resistant materials to ensure they can withstand the elements. Additionally, some models may include specialized pockets for gear, making them ideal for hiking, camping, or other outdoor adventures.

Comfort is key when selecting a functional backpack, so look for padded shoulder straps and a supportive back panel to reduce strain during use. Adjustable straps and a hip belt can also help distribute weight evenly, making it easier to carry heavier loads. Additionally, consider the overall fit and how the backpack sits on your body to ensure it meets your comfort needs during extended wear.
