Are you always on the go? Backpack bags make for sturdy companions. You can take them everywhere – to the office, gym, or off traveling. They come in different types and designs, so you're bound to find one that suits your lifestyle and personality. Here are some examples.

Functional Daypack

Think of a daypack as a more complex backpack. While your basic bag has minimal compartments, a daypack has room for a long adventure.

A daypack is the most common kind of backpack bag. You can use it daily because it's built for functionality. Apart from the traditional shoulder straps, it has a grab handle at the top, a front main compartment, and other multiple pockets, making it ideal for organization. This category can hold around 20 to 40 liters of items. 

Rugged Rucksack

Rucksack backpacks are handy.

Rucksacks have a flap that covers the main compartment, but their designs can vary. Some have laptop sleeves, while others are made of canvas. Closures include magnetic straps and drawstrings. Still, others are just left open or unfastened. Rucksacks are often smaller than regular backpack bags and can carry 15 to 30 liters.

Crossbody Backpack

A a crossbody or sling backpack is practical for the man on the go. It goes over your torso with a single strap, distributing the weight evenly and making it easier for you to use. Unlike daypacks, it has fewer and smaller pockets that can fit essentials, like your keys and wallet.

Try Master Deep Cleanser Anti Pimple daily to keep your skin clear while on the go. It has antibacterial agents and a Dermaclear formula to prevent blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts.

Hydration Backpack

A hydration backpack is perfect for outdoor adventures.

If you love outdoor adventures, better bring your hydration backpack bag. It comes with a portable water pouch, plus several other pockets and compartments where you can store different things like energy bars, a small first aid kit, and a flashlight. It is the bag to get if you’re into hiking, camping, or sports.

To stay fresh on your outdoor adventures, wash your face with Master All-Day Active Clay Wash Cool Rush when going on sporting adventures. It keeps your face clean, controls excess oil, and helps prevent pimples. And thanks to its menthol ingredients, you feel presko all day. Don't forget to wash your hair with Dove Men+Care Refreshing Clean Shampoo. It’s infused with caffeine and menthol, deeply invigorating the hair and leaving a cleaner, fresher, and more manageable feel.

Laptop Bag

Protect your laptop with the proper pack.

A laptop backpack protects expensive tech with padded compartments. It comes in different sizes, so measure the dimensions of your laptop to know which bag suits you best. It also allows room for cables, speakers, and other work-friendly gadgets. Are you a coffee-shop worker? This backpack is ideal for those whose job is location-independent. 

Rolling Backpack

A rolling backpack is perfect for traveling because you can easily shift from pulling to carrying, depending on the situation.

If you want something easier to haul, look for a wheelie bag. Backpack versions have the option to wear on your back (efficient when you're commuting) or roll on the ground. It’s great for traveling, as it lets you walk from one airport terminal to another without a heavy load on your shoulders. Also, it often has spacious compartments, so you can fit everything you need to bring in just one bag. 

Anti-Theft Backpack

Anti-theft backpacks often have several closures.

Many anti-theft backpacks don’t have visible zippers and zipper pullers; hence, the name “anti-theft.” Others have vertical straps down the back to prevent easy opening. These bags are usually made of cut-proof materials and have locks on their pullers and compression straps. Some types even have RFID-blocking features to prevent electronic theft.

Duffel Backpack

Duffel backpacks are duffel bags and backpacks in one.

Duffel backpack bags look like regular duffel bags but with shoulder straps that make them easy to carry. Their capacity usually ranges from 30 to 120 liters. Because of their roomy interior, duffel backpack bags are great for traveling and going to the gym.

Now, which of these backpack bags do you have? Depending on your lifestyle, it’s good to have at least two different types – one for work and another for leisure. After all, if you’re always on the go, it’s good to have everything you need in one trusty bag.
