What is a backpack?

Did you know that a backpack can also be called a rucksack, packsack, knapsack, or pack? The term differs depending on where you are located in the world, but all refer to the same thing. If you came to Backpacks.net, we can be sure that you are looking for a cloth sack made to be carried on one’s back.

Who needs a backpack?

Backpacks are the bag of choice for heavy loads, this is exactly the purpose they designed for. A well designed and comfortable backpack is a great friend to hikers, cross country skiers and anyone who treks the outdoors. A backpack that is not ergonomic or made for easy wear can quickly cause neck, back and joint problems, especially with heavy loads.

College textbooks can also make a heavy load! Just one or two classes can make a mountain of books, and even carrying them a short distance can be uncomfortable. A quality book bag lets you carry your books plus other school items in style.

What options are available in a backpack?

Depending on your need, there are backpacks ranging from simple and economic  all the way to designer equipment. Some top brands in the backpacks industry are: Jansport, Ogio, Dakine, Calpak, Columbia, Quicksliver, Roxy and High Sierra…just to name a few!

Also there are many categories of backpack to choose from, such as school packs, daypacks, bookbags, laptop backpacks, rolling backpacks, wheeled backpacks, mini backpacks and children’s backpacks.
