Choosing the perfect backpack depends largely on your travel needs. Weight is extremely important, as it’s a burden to be weighed down by your baggage, especially as certain airlines are becoming more strict about carry-on weight requirements. Look out for backpacks made with lightweight materials such as nylon or polyester. Several of the best-selling backpacks on Amazon can even condense down into a small packable pouch so that you can toss on into your suitcase and only use it when you need it.

To stay organized on the go, multiple compartments are a must. And since we live in the digital era, opt for a backpack that accommodates your tech needs such as a USB charging port or a hole for easy access to your headphone cord. If you carry a laptop with you when you travel, then your ideal backpack should definitely feature a separate padded compartment.

Looks are essential, too, especially for the urban traveler. Brands like Fjallraven and Herschel Supply Co. have now become synonymous with cool, unisex design but they also deliver exceptional quality.

Don't overlook durability, either. You’ll want your backpack to stand up to years of being shoved beneath the seat in front of you, and many of these picks are crafted from tear-resistant fabrics. Several are water-resistant, too, so you can be sure your valuables — especially your electronics — remain dry in the case of inclement weather.

Finally, you don’t have to break the bank to get all of these features. Most of the backpacks on Amazon’s best-seller list come with a price tag of less than $100. Now, check out the 12 most-purchased and positively reviewed backpacks.
