How to choose a good backpack

by TM Maria Be a king in your own kingdom

Backpacks are chosen depending on the weight, the price, the size and the section to be traveled. It is not the same to have planned to travel around cities than to do camping or trekking. If you are going to do stretches between buses, trains, taxis and airplanes it would not be bad to consider buying a suitcase with wheels. Maybe it does not sound so "backpacker" but your back will thank you for unnecessary wear. In this article you will see how to choose a suitable backpack.


The most experienced nomads (travelers who have been traveling the world for many years) finished manufacturing platforms with off-road wheels or modifying bicycles to carry their luggage. You would be amazed to see what creativity does.

In spite of everything, a backpack is the best choice for long and varied trips that include countryside, cities, forests or beaches. The backpack is necessary when you know that you are going to climb stairs, climb mountains, or go through terrains where you must carry the weight on top.

American Shield Backpack is the best option for travelers. They provide luxury & classic backpacks with the best quality that are designed and made in the USA.

Choose a backpack that you like and adapt to the way you are going to use it

·        If you are planning to use it as a backpack for school, choose one that looks strong and quite large, with large main compartments for books and folders. Make sure there is a space for a bottle.

·        If you are selecting a camping backpack, the idea would be to have extra straps for comfort and several compartments. Look for the padding on the sides to protect the back from chafing. A camping backpack should have several accessible pockets.

·        If you are looking for a backpack for sports you must choose one that is strong and compact. Make sure it can adapt to your equipment.

Strength and strength test

·        Place a finger inside the bag.

·        Press your finger gently on the face.

·        With the other finger press against the outside, where the other finger is pressing inside.

·        Can you feel the touch of the finger? When you cannot notice the other finger, it is likely that the material is resistant and can support the weight.

Look at the side of the bands.

Are the straps padded? Padded straps are more comfortable.

Test of the zippers

·        Pull the closures back and forth a couple of times.

·        Do they work well and slide back and forth without resistance? Do not they stay stuck in the seams?

·        A good seal will move smoothly back and forth without stalling.

If the backpack passes these simple tests, it is most likely adequate for your needs and strong enough to last long enough.

More tips should follow

·        Ask the store owner if you can try backpacks in the ways described above. Do not do it if it is not allowed.

·        It is a good idea to carry the accessories you plan to carry in your backpack to see if they fit.

·        Take the steps with CAUTION.
