Backpacks

A backpack spreads weight across both shoulders, which is why it is still the best way to carry a laptop every day. KlippiK stocks laptop backpacks, roll-top backpacks, daypacks and convertible briefpacks in canvas, recycled nylon and vegan leather, with padded sleeves sized for 13-inch, 14-inch, 15-inch and 16-inch machines.

Which backpack size do you need?

• Daypack, roughly 10 to 15 litres — laptop-free. University notes, a hoodie, a water bottle. Light enough to fold into a suitcase.
• Everyday laptop backpack, roughly 15 to 22 litres — a 13-inch to 15-inch laptop, charger, lunch and a change of shirt. The commuting standard.
• Roll-top, roughly 20 to 28 litres — expands when you need it and cinches down when you do not, so one bag covers a work day and a weekend.
• Convertible briefpack — carries as a briefcase and converts to a backpack, for people who walk to a meeting and then ride home.

Measure your laptop diagonally across the screen and buy the sleeve size at or just above it. A 14-inch machine fits a 15-inch sleeve; a 16-inch machine does not.

What to check before you buy

• Padded back panel and sternum strap — the difference between a bag you can carry for twenty minutes and one you can carry all day.
• A laptop sleeve raised off the base — protects the machine when you put the bag down hard.
• Water-resistant fabric — matters less for rain in Kuwait than for spilled bottles and condensation off a cold drink.
• A luggage pass-through on the back panel — slides over a suitcase handle. Worth having if you fly often.
• Lockable or hidden zips — keep the main compartment shut in crowds.

Looking after a backpack

Spot-clean canvas and nylon with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine-wash a backpack: it breaks down the water-resistant coating and can delaminate a padded panel. Empty the bag and let it dry open, out of direct sun. Vegan leather wipes clean with a slightly damp cloth. Dust in the teeth is what kills a zip, not use, so rinse and dry the zips after a dusty trip.

Common questions about Backpacks

What size backpack fits a 16-inch MacBook Pro?

Look for a backpack listed with a 16-inch laptop compartment. A 15-inch sleeve will not take a 16-inch MacBook Pro. The compartment size is stated on every product page in this category.

Are these backpacks waterproof?

They are water resistant, not waterproof. Recycled nylon ripstop and coated canvas shed a splash or light rain long enough for you to get indoors, but none of these bags is designed to be submerged or worn through sustained heavy rain.

Which backpack is best for university?

A 15 to 22 litre laptop backpack with a padded back panel. It carries a laptop, a couple of textbooks and a water bottle without straining the shoulders, and the padding matters once the bag is full.

Do any of these convert into a briefcase?

Yes. The convertible briefpacks in this range carry three ways — backpack, briefcase and shoulder bag — using a detachable strap and a stowable harness.
