Backpacks

As the largest online retailer of bags since 1999, we here at eBags definitely know backpacks. We carry the largest selection of backpacks from top brands in the industry including JanSport, The North Face, DAKINE, High Sierra, and OGIO. Whether you're hitting the trail, hitting the books, or just want a hands-free way to carry your gear, we've got the backpack for you. When starting your search for a backpack, think about how you will be using the pack. We've broken up our assortment into categories based on activity or use.

By far, the most popular time of the year for backpacks is Back To School. That's because school backpacks are the most common type of school bag among school kids and college students alike. For versatility and value, you can't go wrong with a classic pack like the JanSport SuperBreak which continues to be a top-rated best-seller year after year. Carrying a laptop across campus? Choose a laptop backpack which has a dedicated compartment designed to keep your device secure and protected. Be sure to use our Laptop Bag Finder (found at the top left of every laptop bag page) to ensure your specific laptop model fits. Wheeled backpacks are also a great choice for students and even professionals who want to haul heavy loads without causing back strain.

While backpacks for school are a popular category in the fall, there are other types of backpacks in demand year-round. Hiking backpacks and backpacking packs are the only choice for carrying your gear on the trail regardless if you're on a casual day hike or a serious backcountry expedition. Similarly, hydration backpacks from brands like CamelBak are ideal for staying hydrated outdoors on hikes, runs, and bike rides. There are even winter hydration backpacks that are insulated to keep water from freezing in cold temperatures. Finally, travel backpacks offer storage for travel essentials plus handy features that help keep travelers on the move like wheels and detachable daypacks. They remain a popular style carried by students abroad and the savvy jet-set crowd.

Be sure to read customer reviews to ensure you're getting the features, size, and durability you need in your backpack (although we offer free returns in case you change your mind). Don't forget that with eBags, you can shop with confidence because we offer our 100% price guarantee.
