Taygeer Travel Backpack
Over 10,000 shoppers have purchased this backpack in the last month, which hints at just how good the now-$18 bag is. It has a USB charging port, shoe bag, anti-theft pockets, and a laptop compartment, but it still feels comfortable to wear, per reviewers. Plus, all of the available colors are on sale.
Areyteco Travel Backpack
When it comes to travel backpacks that minimize stress, Areyteco’s backpack ticks the boxes with its anti-theft pocket (perfect for wallets and passports), comfy shoulder straps, and expandable frame. One customer was so impressed with how it “held up” during their travels that they “will be buying three more for my family.”
Shrradoo Extra-Large Travel Backpack
Snagged 10,000 times in the past month and rated five stars by 31,000 people, this spacious backpack is so good that one reviewer “will not travel without it.” Although there is room for a large laptop, books, and clothes, it remains compliant for a wide range of airlines.
Matein Travel Laptop Backpack
It’s the littlest details that can make such a difference with a travel backpack, like this bag’s luggage strap, which easily loops over the top of a suitcase handle, or its 180-degree fold-out feature that makes packing a breeze. The 17-inch size is the perfect happy medium, but if you need something larger, the 18-inch version is on sale, too.
Amazon Basics Laptop Backpack
For an affordable bag that’s not too large, customers say it’s hard to beat the value of this Amazon Basics travel backpack. Over 12,500 customers granted it a perfect rating, appreciating its durable polyester fabric and spacious compartments.
Indusky Large Travel Backpack
With this travel backpack, you can get all the fancy bells and whistles of a more expensive bag for just $13. It has numerous pockets, a USB charging port, and a waterproof compartment.
Coofay Travel Backpack
Grimy shoes and wet swimsuits will never have to touch your other items again thanks to this backpack with a separate waterproof compartment. While customers love that it’s comfortable and slides into overhead bins with ease, this backpack also earns style points and gets “so many compliments,” according to one buyer.
SwissGear 1900 Scansmart TSA 17 Laptop Backpack
Grab SwissGear’s highly-rated backpack, and you’ll experience why one customer called it their “dream bag.” One of the most enticing features for travelers is its TSA Scansmart material, which allows you to leave your laptop inside during chaotic security checks at the airport.
Lumesner Carry-On Backpack
This water-resistant backpack comes with packing cubes, which makes it so much simpler to stay organized while you’re on the go and ensure everything you need fits neatly inside. A happy buyer noted that this is “a must-have for any frequent traveler looking for convenience and reliability,” and they managed to fit an entire week’s worth of clothes for traveling around Europe.
The North Face Jester Everyday Laptop Backpack
For day trips or city excursions, an extra-large backpack is the last thing you want, which is where The North Face’s Jester style comes in handy. The smaller bag may not be as large as others but it’s mighty, made from a water-repellent 600-denier polyester fabric, and capable of holding everything you need throughout the day — even a laptop.
