You’re going to be wearing this on your back and spending a lot of time with it, so you want to make sure you get the right one. Here are some things to consider when shopping for your new backpack:

  • Decide if you prefer top loading or panel loading.
  • Check the dimensions to make sure they work with your airline’s carry-on restrictions.
  • Make sure there are enough pockets for your needs.
  • Look for a rain cover.
  • Adjust the straps, including the waist strap, to make sure it fits comfortably.
