We have tried a lot of backpacks. The options listed here are all good choices, and we think you will be satisfied based on your needs and budget.

Aer Designs Slim Pack is priced at $115: We like this bag for fast travel, you don’t need to carry all the items that you usually put on your desk. It’s only 8.5 liters—less than half of some of our choices—but it’s still suitable for laptops and chargers, wallets, water bottles, phones, snacks, masks, and hand sanitizer. Its durable polyurethane coating can be easily wiped clean.

STM Goods Myth 18L backpack, priced at $120: Commenting editor Julian Chokkattu found that although Myth has only a compact size of 18 liters, he can easily fit a 16-inch MacBook Pro and accessories inside. The laptop is suspended and will not be damaged by accidental drops, and the thick padding helps it sit comfortably on your back. There is a convenient hanging loop for earplugs or cables, and a microfiber-lined top pocket for fragile items, but no side pockets for water bottles or umbrellas.

Targus 2 office antibacterial backpack, priced at $120: Julian is also a fan of this bag, which is designed for people who often switch between working at home and working in the office. The two small pockets on the front are secured by looped Velcro straps, so if you want to pack it lightly, you can easily remove them. The main contact point on the backpack near the zipper has an antibacterial protective coating, which Targus says will prevent the growth of microorganisms. Don't expect much of this, but it may give you peace of mind.

Incase Icon Backpack with Woolenex is priced at $200: Incase has many backpack options, but Adrienne likes the low-key and durable weaves of the Icon series and Woolenex (Incase's proprietary wool-polyester blend). It has abrasion resistance and moisture resistance, but it looks smoother than nylon and feels more like fabric.

Mission Workshop Rhake, priced at $380: This roll-top bag has many pockets, and its two-layer weatherproof structure and Velcro closure keep the contents in the main compartment dry. It is not particularly fast or easy to enter these pockets, it is really heavy, and although it looks cool, the price is quite high.

Dagne Dover Dakota backpack, $145: The Dagne Dover bag is very attractive, fits everything, and has a loop that can be fixed to the suitcase. Neoprene may be waterproof and vegan, but it is not environmentally friendly. The company said it is working hard to increase ecological awareness. We did not try the Vida Tote ($145), but it can hold a 13-inch laptop. If you want to try a different material, it is made of organic cotton.
