The best travel backpacks are designed to meet today's demands for multifunctions, practicality and efficiency. According to REI.com, travel backpacks are used by those who travel light and stay mobile. Quality travel packs are built to endure the rigors of frequent, heavy use, from running errands around town to globetrotting through Europe. While many companies are producing good travel packs, some stand out with function, style and value.
Eagle Creek Travel Bug
While Eagle Creek is known for travel luggage of all sizes, this small day travel backpack is well thought out, making quick and light air, rail, auto and foot travel a breeze. It features clever pockets for water bottles, passports and electronics, with lockable zippers and a fleece lined eye wear compartment, and is made of tough rip-stop nylon.
Osprey Waypoint Day
Osprey built its reputation on stable loading backpacks made with sustainable production practices. Its line has grown to include a smart fleet of travel packs that are simple, custom fitting and comfortable to wear. Osprey uses a hip belt load-bearing system that works just like its highest end back country backpacks, according to Ospreypacks.com, so travelers can roam in comfort. It also features a detachable day pack. The Waypoint's harness can be unzipped and packed in the pack for easy luggage handling.
REI Tour
The Tour is full of features like a detachable day pack, a comfortable suspension system and pockets for electronics. It uses a stiff internal plastic sheet for structural support and is perfect for stashing on planes, in trunks and under seats. With more than 60 liters of capacity, the Tour can carry the laptop, guidebooks, a rain jacket, gear, souvenirs and whatever else you find during your journey.
Patagonia Lightweight Travel Pack
Patagonia's travel pack is so basic and it can roll up and fit into its own pocket. It uses a thin, firm foam pad as a removable internal frame that doubles as a sitting pad and is made from lightweight, rip-stop nylon treated with a water-resistant coating for unplanned weather. The pack comes with mesh breathable straps and a waist belt to help alleviate the load, external pockets for water, snacks and maps. Made with weight and function in mind, this pack stores easily and is good for the mountains or the market.
