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.

2. Cute and Classy Backpack

Want a bag to suit every item on your itinerary? These travel backpacks are perfect for day-trips in and out of shops and cafes, without losing any functionality. They can also be personalised with keyrings or badges from tourist shops along the way!

3. Black and Classic Backpack

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. A travel backpack that you use everyday will already contains all your essentials, from emergency sad-movie tissues to your 12-o’clock re-touch lipstick, and you can take it all on the go.

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.

6. Jumpfrompaper Bag

These travel backpacks are so cute! Pretend your in an episode of your favourite cartoon with these two-dimensional backpacks. Jumpfrompaper rucksacks are so bright and distinctive your friends will never lose you in a crowd. They also make your holiday snapshots literally jump from the page.

7. Herschel Backpack

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!

9. The Great Outdoors Bag

Hard-core campers will have scoffed at this list up until this point. Travel backpacks? Yeah, maybe if you’re travelling to the mall. Where am I supposed to fit my Trangia and Camelbak? Good news buddy, you can fit just about everything but the kitchen sink in one of these travel backpacks.

10. Statement Bags

It’s the eve of Festival season, and you’re having a break-down on your bedroom floor. You have intricately planned every aspect of your outfits for the weekend, from the soles of your shoes to the frames of your sunglasses. Only now have you realised you have nowhere to store the twelve bubble-blowers you bought from K-mart last night to use in an upcoming Boomerang video. 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.
