10 Best Carry-On Travel Backpacks For Easy Summer Travel

Travel backpacks are perhaps not the first thing that springs to mind warm weather approaches. Summer is supposed to be for festivals, road trips, and beach-side bonfires. Not scouring Amazon for highly rated carry-on luggage. That’s why this list has got you covered, B. Here are your top 10 carry-on bags.

1. Fjällräven Kånken

Don’t be intimidated by the excessive umlauts. Fjällräven’s travel backpacks have been taking western style by storm in recent years. But, 40 years before becoming a favourite of starlets and students alike, the Kånken backpack was prototyped by a young Swedish pupil trying to combat back problems in children. The Kånken comes in so many colours and sizes there is one for every holiday-maker.

Perfect for impromptu trips with friends! Switch out your work or school bag with one of these. They can easily transform from functional carry-all to the perfect travel companion for spontaneous night drives.

4. Itsy-Bitsy Bag

These are perfect for events where you don’t want to haul around emergency jackets, a years’ worth of hand sanitizer, and your Tamagotchi pet. The concert outfit you planned doesn’t have pockets, but you don’t want to lug your phone and wallet in your hands? Easy solution. This light-weight backpack will keep you hands-free, so you can focus purely on your dance moves (‘Big fish, little fish, cardboard box’ will always take priority, hun).

5. Drawstring Rucksack

Your long-awaited beach trip has arrived. Leaky sunscreen tubes, wet swimsuits, and sandy towels aren’t exactly the type of belongings you keep in a Hermès Birkin bag. Luckily, there are plenty of cheap, water-resistant bags on the market. A drawstring travel backpack also closes easily to keep sand out and your valuables out-of-sight, while you float aesthetically on an inflatable flamingo in the ocean.

These bags are popular for uni students to tote their heavy textbooks all around campus. Hence, these bags have incredible durability and can easily be re-purposed for camping trips and mountain hikes over the holiday period. Choosing between the different designs is the hardest choice when it comes to Herschel.

8. Satchel Backpack

Satchel backpacks are a brilliant throwback. Who doesn’t find the vintage style cute, with so many different variations in fastenings and straps? But any messenger-style bag is going to hurt your shoulders, resulting in that unceasing switching and shifting throughout the day. But now they’re back! In back-pack form!

10. Statement Bags

It’s the eve of Festival season, and you’re having a break-down on your bedroom floor.

Don’t freak out just yet; there are plenty of bags that can contain all your Festival bric-a-brac. But the best way to do so is with a unique statement accessory, like a showy backpack.
