Backpacks & Rucksacks
Backpacks and rucksacks were originally created for carrying tents and clothing on long treks as the straps helped to spread the load. With the introduction of padded carrying straps and contoured shapes to fit the curvature of your back, rucksacks and backpacks can carry heavy loads whilst remaining comfortable and stable.
Durable Carry Rucksacks
If you are buying a rucksack or backpack it will probably be made of a thick polyester which is tough, hardwearing and showerproof, though some fashion-influenced bags are made of a thick cotton. The backpack may have internal compartments to separate items such as pads and folders for easy access (making it ideal as a school bag), perhaps with a padded internal pocket to carry laptop computers and protect them from damage.
Surf & Beach Backpacks
There are also surf backpacks that have been designed with surfers and water sports enthusiasts in mind, and have a waterproof section inside or an internal waterproof bag for wetsuits. Some backpacks have additional zipped pockets for storing smaller items such as pens, mobile phones, drinks or MP3 players. Rucksacks and backpacks may also have external reinforced straps for carrying items such as skateboards and snowboards.
