You can find styling ideas and valuable tips on our blog.

Backpacks with specialized ventilation systems—such as a mesh back panel or breathable air-mesh padding—ensure continuous airflow between your back and the bag. They keep your back dry and prevent excessive sweating during long wear or on warm days. You’re in great hands with brands like Deuter and Ortlieb, though school backpacks and bags from satch and ergobag are also equipped with ventilation systems.

Yes, carrying a backpack is generally very good for your back, as the weight is distributed evenly across both shoulders compared to one-sided handbags. Well-padded, adjustable straps and wearing the bag close to your body are key for ergonomics and preventing bad posture.

A backpack is the better choice when carrying heavy loads, walking longer distances, or needing complete hands-free freedom. This makes it the ideal companion for school, university, work, grocery shopping, and bike rides, as well as for travelers who like to explore with a camera in hand.

A rolltop backpack allows you to flexibly adjust its volume by rolling the top up or down. The roll closure protects your belongings particularly well against rain and theft. On top of that, brands like Ortlieb offer many models made from water-resistant or fully waterproof materials.

German brands like Vaude, ORTLIEB, and Deuter manufacture many of their backpacks and bike bags directly at production sites in Germany, emphasizing sustainable production and waterproof materials. Other backpack brands from Germany include Ela Mo and ergobag, among others.

Lightweight kids' backpacks with a capacity of 4 to 6 liters are suitable for toddlers aged 2 to 3 and up. For primary school children, there are school bags with around 10 to 15 liters of space and ergonomic padding (e.g., from satch and ergobag). We offer a wide selection of backpacks for children of various age groups in our range.

For multi-day trips or backpacking, specialized hiking and travel backpacks with a capacity of 30 to 65 liters are ideal, depending on the duration and type of your tour. Brands like Thule specialize in models with adjustable back systems and padded hip belts that effectively transfer the main weight to your hips.

Smaller daypacks qualify as a "personal item" with most airlines and can be brought on board in addition to your standard carry-on luggage. The main requirement is usually that the backpack fits easily under the seat in front of you. To be safe, check your airline's guidelines in advance and easily verify the dimensions of our backpacks in their product descriptions.
