Our Editors Have Tested Dozens of Backpacks. These 11 Are the Ones We Trust Most.

Summary: A backpack is more than just a sack to throw over your shoulder—it should be a trusty sidekick. Men's Health editors tested dozens of backpacks to find the 11 best ones for everyday use. They wore them on 20-mile bike rides, 10-mile hikes, and daily trips to the coffee shop.

When picking a backpack, you need to think about a few key things. First, keep the size under 30 liters for everyday use so the extra weight doesn't hurt your back. Second, make sure it has a safe, padded spot for your laptop. Finally, look for weatherproofing to keep your gear dry in the rain. The best bags from brands like The North Face, Yeti, and Fjallraven will organize your stuff, protect your electronics, and feel so comfortable you might forget you're wearing them!
