Ohhh, I like this one a lot. I like all the color choices and the two side pouches.
We use the laptop backpack my husband carries daily for his work. The first one lasted 6 years, and the one weāre currently carrying is 3 years old. It is the eBags Downloader Laptop Backpack. Plenty of outside pockets so I can get to things without him taking it off, or me if Iām the āpack muleā that day.
For solo touring, I carry a TimBuk2 messenger bag (I think a bit smaller than the one pictured above) as mentioned by @elslav. This is a super bag, sturdy, lightweight, and roomy for me. But, DH isnāt fond of carrying the messenger style.
We adore Kelty backpacks in our house. Theyāre super lightweight and last forever. My DS10 is going to use his for the 3rd school year this year, and it doesnāt show any signs of wearing out.
OGIO Bandit backpack worked great last tripā¦plenty of compartments and very comfortable!!
Thank you so much everyone for all the helpful suggestions! These are all great! Now to do some shopping!!!
