Best Quality Backpacks You Can Buy
Ghurka Blazer No. 278
By now, you probably already know that I don't use backpacks at all. I don't really think carrying a bag on your back is more comfortable than carrying it in your hand, but the main reasons why I completely avoid them are because most shoulder straps can damage your clothes, and because I really don't like the look of carrying something on your back.
But this is just my personal opinion, and since I get questions about backpack recommendations quite often, there are clearly a lot of guys who disagree with me. So, by popular request, I put together a list of what I consider the best quality backpacks on the market.
Premium canvas version with leather details
This option is considered a lot more elegant because a few premium details and touches make the backpack look much sleeker and more stylish.
