The modern pace of life sometimes requires us to perform several actions at the same time. For example, keep a mobile phone, a bag, a jacket, and even pass the fare. And there are only two hands. Young people have long found a way out of their similar situations - a city backpack. It accommodates a lot of things that you can’t do without and that would hardly fit in a bag. Manufacturers, noticing the unprecedented demand for backpacks, immediately responded with an abundance of offers. Nice appearance, ergonomics, water resistance, light weight - these are the parameters that city backpacks differ from their tarpaulin ancestors. Women's models from men's can be distinguished only by a smaller volume and brighter prints. Manufacturers also did not leave children without backpacks - soft, frameless, they are decorated with flowers or images of fairy-tale characters.
Volume
Make a list of things that you will wear all the time - the volume of the purchased model depends on this. In addition, determine how many and which compartments in the backpack you need. Optimal organization of the internal spacewill allow you to compactly place all the necessary things.
Material
Urban conditions are no easier than hiking. The same adverse weather factors and constant friction, besides, you will wear an urban backpack much more often than its tourist counterpart. So, it should have maximum impermeability and durability. And it's not even about the appearance, which will quickly lose a cheap copy made of low-quality materials. Most likely, you will carry various equipment in it: a camera, a laptop or a tablet. Notebooks and a library book are just as afraid of moisture. Therefore, ask the seller for the name of the fabric. If you hear "Cordura" or "Nylon", this is what you need. They are created from a thread with a special structure, water-repellent impregnation and a polyurethane coating. This fabric and waterproof zippers will make your urban backpack very secure and protected.
Back
Backs in backpacks for the city are performed in three different ways. First, it is a regular layer of fabric. The disadvantage of the fabric back is that it is inconvenient to carry objects with sharp corners in such a backpack - books, magazines, a laptop. Secondly, the orthopedic back. The ideal option is a city backpack with a back made according to
Special breathable Air Mesh technology. It is easy to identify by the top layer - mesh knitwear. Good ventilation characteristics are especially appreciated in the warm season, when the back due to the air layersweats less.
Straps
They are subject to the same stringent requirements as the straps of tourist backpacks. A city backpack should be equipped with wide, soft and comfortable shoulder straps. They are straight and anatomical. The latter, following the contours of the body, distribute the load more evenly. There are straps that are sewn at the top of the backpack. Their advantage is optimal load distribution and wearing comfort. Take a closer look at models with side straps. For example, a polar backpack equipped with zip ties can be easily reduced in size when space is available.
