The modern pace of life sometimes requires us to perform several actions at once. For example, keep a mobile phone, bag, jacket, and even pass the fare. And there are only two hands. Young people have long found a way out of their similar situations - an urban backpack. It contains a lot of things that can not be done without and which would hardly fit in a bag. Manufacturers, having noticed an unprecedented demand for backpacks, immediately responded with an abundance of offers. Nice appearance, ergonomics, water resistance, low weight - urban backpacks differ from these canvas tarpaulins with these parameters. Female models from male ones can be distinguished only by their smaller volume and brighter prints. The manufacturers also did not leave children without backpacks - soft, frameless, they are decorated with flowers or images of fairy-tale heroes.
Volume
Make a list of things that you will always wear - the volume of the purchased model depends on this. In addition, determine how many and which particular compartments in the backpack you need. The optimal organization of the internal space allows you to compactly place all the necessary things.
Material
Urban conditions are no easier than traveling. The same adverse weather factors and constant friction, in addition, you will wear a city backpack much more often than its tourist counterpart. So, he must have maximum waterproofness and durability. And it’s not even a matter of appearance that will quickly lose a cheap copy made of substandard materials. Most likely, you will transfer various equipment in it: a camera, laptop or tablet. Grades 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 having a special structure, water-repellent impregnation and polyurethane coating. Such fabric and waterproof zippers will make your city backpack very reliable and protected.
Back
Backs in backpacks for the city are made in three different versions. Firstly, it is a regular layer of fabric. The minus of the fabric back is that in such a backpack it is inconvenient to carry objects with sharp corners - books, magazines, a laptop. Secondly, orthopedic back. An ideal option is a city backpack with a back made on
special "breathing" technology Air Mesh. It is easy to identify by the upper layer - mesh knitwear. Good ventilation performance is especially appreciated in the warm season, when the back sweats less due to the air gap.
Webbing
These requirements are as stringent as those on the straps of tourist backpacks. The city backpack should be equipped with wide, soft and comfortable straps. They are direct and anatomical. The latter, repeating the contours of the body, more evenly distribute the load. There are straps that are sewn at the top of the backpack. Their advantage is an optimal load distribution and wearing comfort. Take a look at models with side slings. For example, a polar backpack equipped with screeds can easily be reduced in volume when space is freed up in it.
