Travel Backpacks

Finding the right travel backpack means balancing comfort, capacity and how well it holds up across flights, trains, and everything in between. Whether you're after a full-size pack for weeks on the road or something smaller for weekend hops, this collection is built for travellers who need their gear to keep up.

For a backpack for travelling that's engineered around comfort on long days, our range from Osprey is hard to beat — thoughtful harness systems and smart organisation make them a favourite for backpackers and city-hoppers alike. If you're after something more compact for day trips, city exploring, or as a carry-on companion, our daypacks collection covers lighter options that still pack in plenty of features.

Not sure how much backpack you actually need? Our guide to ultralight backpacking is a great starting point for keeping your load light without sacrificing what matters, while our piece on the evolution of the modern hiking backpack looks at how today's packs got so much smarter. If you're torn between styles, hiking backpack vs. daypack breaks down which one suits your trip.

Looking specifically for backpacks to travel with as a woman? Our best travel backpack for women guide rounds up fit and feature considerations worth knowing before you buy. And for travellers who want Scandinavian style built to last, our guides on Fjällräven backpacks for hiking, camping and outdoor adventures and pairing Fjällräven backpacks with hiking pants are worth a read.

However you're getting there, this collection has the travel backpack to help you get there comfortably.
