Types Of Backpacks: The Ultimate Guide
Drawstring Backpacks

These are basically gym sacks with drawstring closure and shoulder straps, which makes them a type of backpack. And yes, they are very weird and barely functional.

For one thing, they are usually really small, with a capacity from 10-25 liters. That’s not a lot. But it’s enough for gym gear, which is their most common use.

The reason why these are quite popular is because they are extremely lightweight. Even the largest drawstring packs only weigh a few ounces, which is awesome. Additionally, these packs are often really small, which allows you to throw it in your other bag and always have them handy in case you need them.

Basic Daypack

A basic daypack had a standard backpack design – front-loading main compartment, a large front pocket, a pair of shoulder straps and a grab handle. These don’t usually have many features, and they don’t vary too much in size. Their capacity ranges anywhere from 20-40 liters, depending on the size and number of pockets.
