We love a laptop backpack that's spacious, has organizational pockets, and will keep our laptops safe during travel.

Our Testing Process

  • Tips For Buying
  • Why Trust T+L

Travel + Leisure / Jessica Juliao

Since a laptop usually comes at a high price, it’s well worth it to invest in a backpack designed to protect your technology when you’re on the go. Whether you’re traveling on an airplane or trekking through campus, a comfortable, well-made backpack with a padded laptop pocket is a must-have.

Because comfort and durability are arguably the two most important factors when investing, we tested more than 50 laptop backpacks on several occasions in our New York City lab and in the real world to find the best ones for everyday wear with these considerations in mind. We packed each bag with computers, iPads, sweatshirts, and more, and carried them around to see how they felt. We then tossed each one onto the ground from a tabletop to test the bag’s durability (using dummy laptops, of course). Keep reading to learn more about our top picks for style, comfort, value, and more.

Best Overall

Solo re:define backpack.

  • Capacity 5 /5
  • Design 5 /5
  • Comfort 5 /5
  • Durability 5 /5

The bag looks and feels compact but has a surprisingly large interior.

One of the zippers is fraying after four months of use.

Looking for a commuter backpack to take with you to the office and beyond? Solo’s Re:Define Backpack is equipped with everything a traveler or commuter needs for long days away from home. At first glance, the bag looks like a normal-sized backpack but it has a deceptively large interior with plenty of pockets to store both big and small items. The 15.6-inch laptop pocket in the back is fully padded and the bag also has an external USB port and a headphone port for traveling seamlessly with electronic devices. Even when we had the bag packed full of accessories and clothing, it felt nearly weightless and exceptionally comfortable to carry thanks to the padded and adjustable shoulder straps.

Made with recycled polyester, the backpack performed perfectly during our durability tests and didn’t sustain any scuffs or scratches after we tossed it onto the ground several times. All of the contents packed appeared to be in their original condition, so we feel confident in this backpack’s protective abilities. The zippers also impressed us by being super smooth even when the bag was packed to the brim. While it’s not the most stylish backpack on the market, its functional and simple design makes it well worth it — a great option for anyone looking for a durable backpack .

The Details: 18 x 13 x 7 inches | 22.5 liters | 1.43 pounds | Recycled PET polyester | 15.6-inch laptop pocket | USB port

Best Leather

Bee & kin the midi nomad backpack.

Bee & Kin

  • Design 4.5 /5
  • Comfort 4.5 /5
  • Durability 4.8 /5
  • Value 4.8 /5

The sleek leather material looks nicer than a typical nylon backpack.

The straps are a bit too long, even when they are adjusted to the shortest setting.

Constructed with soft and sleek Italian leather, this mid-size backpack has the perfect combination of style and functionality. It’s big enough to fit a laptop up to 13 inches long, but it’s small enough that you can use it beyond traveling or commuting for everyday activities like running errands. After four months of use, we found this to be the perfect medium-size bag that is easy to clean, making it a perfect option for everyday use. It can easily fit a laptop, water bottle, wallet, notebook, and headphones with plenty of room left over. While we love the size for versatility, it still has plenty of thoughtful features for travelers like a pocket for a wireless charger ( sold separately ) and several interior pockets for storing accessories.

The leather material has a soft and plush feel to it which makes carrying the bag comfortable, but we wish the straps were a little shorter since the bag sits a little low on the back. Since the backpack is smaller and lightweight, this isn’t a huge issue and we still think the high-quality backpack is worth it for traveling, commuting, and everyday use.

The Details: 13 x 11.6 x 5.5 inches | 2.6 pounds | Leather | 13-inch laptop pocket

Best Convertible

Aer flight pack 3.

  • Value 4.5 /5

You can wear this either as a backpack or a duffel bag.

The laptop sleeve is just a slip pocket in the main compartment.

We love that you can choose to wear the Aer Flight Pack 3 as a daily commuter’s backpack or convert it into a duffel bag or briefcase for a business trip or weekend getaway. There are plenty of pockets for organization with a designated laptop sleeve in the main compartment, another compartment with more than seven smaller pockets, and a small zippered pouch in the front. The laptop sleeve is only a slip pocket, and while it kept the laptop in place during our durability test, it isn’t as secure as it could be if it was a zippered pocket. We also found that there's a lot of space for clothes and tech devices for a quick weekend getaway or business trip. Because the pack is made with abrasion- and tear-resistant ballistic nylon, it feels sturdy and durable, sustaining no damage after we dropped it off a tabletop. Plus, we found the backpack, top handle, and duffel straps equally comfortable when carrying the bag in all three ways.

The Details: 18 x 12 x 5.5 inches | 20 liters | 3.4 pounds | Cordura ballistic nylon | 16-inch laptop pocket

Best Padding

Incase icon backpack.

  • Design 4 /5
  • Value 4.3 /5

The backpack is outfitted with thick padding.

It doesn’t have a water bottle pocket or trolley sleeve.

The Incase Icon Pack thoroughly impressed us with very thick padding throughout the backpack which adds an abundance of protection and comfort. The back has a padded laptop sleeve that was noticeably thick when we first opened up the backpack. When we dropped the bag onto the floor to test for durability, none of the contents were damaged. The thick padding in the back and on the straps provides comfort while wearing the pack, and we love that the adjustable strap is lined with a soft fabric. Although we wish this backpack came with more features like a water bottle holder or a trolley sleeve, the pack has two spacious compartments, a front pocket, and a variety of smaller pockets for exceptional organization on the inside, making it well worth the investment for the comfortable, durable backpack.

The Details: 19 x 13 x 9 inches | 20 liters | 2.7 pounds | 840D nylon | 15-inch laptop pocket

Best Expandable

Samsonite elevation plus backpack.

  • Organization 5 /5
  • Portability 5 /5

The expandable zippers add tons of extra space.

It's not the most stylish backpack.

I've tested dozens of backpacks and it can be hard to find a backpack that stands out from others, which is why I'm a big fan of this one from Samsonite, which I personally tested in the lab. While it has a simple design from the outside, the backpack is filled with special features that make it better than your average backpack. It has tons of pockets to store every travel essential you could ever need, including laptops, tablets, notebooks, chargers, passports, and it has a water bottle pocket on the side that keeps a bottle secure (it didn't even fall out when I threw the pack off a table several times). However, my favorite part of the pack is the expandable zipper that adds 1.5 inches of extra space, which came in handy when I packed the bag with an extra jacket. Plus, it fits underneath an airplane seat with ease, and there's extra padding in the back paneling and shoulder straps for superior comfort while traveling.

The Details: 17.8 x 12 x 6.5 inches | 22.75 liters | 2.2 pounds | Recycled polyester | Expandable

Best Solar-powered

Solgaard lifepack backpack.

  • Comfort 4 /5

It’s made out of recycled plastic bottles found on beaches and has a built-in, solar-powered USB charger.

The capacity is smaller than other backpacks we tested.

While this backpack impressed us during testing, it also won us over thanks to Solgaard’s sustainability mission in which all of its products are made with ocean-bound recycled materials. The brand uses its patented Shore-tex material to create this backpack with recycled plastic water bottles found on beaches or river banks. In addition, the backpack includes a solar-powered USB charging port so you can charge on the go without having to worry about the life of your power bank. In our testing lab, we were able to fit all of the items on our packing list, including a sweatshirt, a laptop, an iPad, a notebook, and a water bottle, but there wasn’t a lot of space left over. The laptop sleeve is in the back of the bag, and although it’s just a slip pocket, it wasn’t damaged during our durability tests. When it comes to padding, the backpack is outfitted with ample cushioning that makes it comfortable to wear with the adjustable, supportive chest strap, too.

Best Splurge

Lo & sons rowledge.

Lo & Sons

The nylon material and leather accents give the backpack a sleek look without sacrificing protection.

The laptop compartment is too small for any computers over 13 inches long.

Lo & Sons’ The Rowledge laptop backpack is one of the most expensive bags we tested, but it seriously delivered in performance. The nylon exterior outfitted with leather accents makes this sleek, timeless bag a dream for travelers and office-goers. While it may small from the outside, we found that it was possible to fit a sweatshirt, a laptop, an iPad, a notebook, and a water bottle with ease. Our only gripe is that the laptop pocket can only fit laptops that are 13 inches or smaller, so you'll want to consider that if you own a larger computer. The adjustable straps and ample padding throughout the entire backpack add to the comfort and durability of the pack. Although the bag felt a little stiff at first, the material quickly contours to the shape of your shoulders and back over time for a more comfortable fit after a few wears. After tossing the bag off of a tabletop, the laptop remained unharmed in the designated sleeve in the back of the bag, and the exterior showed no signs of damage, so we think this sturdy, well-made backpack is worth the splurge.

The Details: 16.5 x 11.5 x 6.75 inches | 21 liters | 3.2 pounds | Nylon, leather | 13.5-inch laptop pocket

Best Budget

Tzowla travel laptop backpack.

  • Capacity 4.8 /5
  • Comfort 4.8 /5
  • Durability 4.5 /5

The bag has lots of smart features for travelers.

The materials feel lower in quality.

This wallet-friendly backpack exceeded expectations during testing due to all of the thoughtful designs that rivaled the most expensive bags we tested. After four months of regularly using the bag, we especially love the padded laptop sleeve that protects laptops up to 15.6 inches long. The backpack has a variety of other smart features including a USB port, a passcode lock, and a headphone port to make traveling with electronics a breeze. We found that the main compartment is very spacious and easy to pack with bulkier items like a jacket or lunchbox, and the front compartment has tons of little pockets for organizing smaller items.

Made with polyester fabric, the backpack feels fairly durable and didn’t get damaged during our durability tests, but it is noticeably lower quality than the other bags we tested with a higher price point. However, the straps have comfortable padding and adjustable buckles, so the bag is still very comfortable to carry.

The Details: 18.5 x 11.8 x 5.5 inches | 34 liters | 1.83 pounds | Polyester blend | 15.6-inch laptop pocket | USB and headphone port | Password lock

Best Organization

Timbuk2 authority laptop backpack deluxe.

  • Capacity 4.5 /5

It has plenty of pockets for organizing all of your belongings efficiently.

The capacity could have been bigger.

The Timbuk2 Authority Laptop Backpack Deluxe has a variety of interior and exterior pockets to help you stay organized on the go. There’s a designated spot for all of your must-haves with a padded laptop pocket in the back, a main compartment with slip and zippered pockets, and a spacious front pocket for items like a notebook. Plus, there’s a side slip pocket for your water bottle and a trolley sleeve for attaching the pack to a suitcase. We love the ability to access your laptop from the back zipper or through the main compartment of the backpack. Additionally, we appreciated the sleek pack’s compression straps so you can adjust the capacity of the bag, but we still thought the main compartment could have been a bit larger. The padded backpack straps are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and if you live in a rainy climate, the durable recycled nylon exterior is also water-resistant.

The Details: 18.9 x 11.42 x 5.31 inches | 20 liters | 2.51 pounds | Recycled nylon | 17-inch laptop pocket

Most Versatile

Monos metro backpack.

The front pocket comes off so you can travel with or without the extra space.

The original model has visible snaps when the front pocket is removed, but that's been updated with the newer version.

The Monos Metro Backpack has a removable front pocket that adds quite a bit of extra space which is a game-changer for traveling. For other times when you may not need the excess room, all you have to do is pull the discrete cord in the back of the pouch to release pouch and take it off. Best of all, when you remove the pouch, the backpack still looks sleek, and it doesn't look like any part of the bag is missing thanks to the brand's modular system for taking on and off the pouch.

We love the soft vegan leather look of the backpack and found the materials to provide protection against laptop damage when we dropped it. There are several pockets inside the main compartment, and the laptop pocket is in the back, separated from the rest of the bag. Whether you're traveling on an airplane or heading into the office, this stylish bag is ideal for those looking for a versatile backpack. It also comes in nylon fabric with more colors to choose from.

The Details: 11.5 × 16.5 × 6 inches | 18 liters | 3 pounds | Vegan leather or nylon | 15-inch laptop pocket

Everlane ReNew Transit Backpack

  • Design 4.6 /5
  • Capacity 4.2 /5
  • Durability 4 /5
  • Comfort 4.6 /5

This lightweight backpack has a sleek, contemporary design that comes in several earthy colors.

It has a smaller capacity than many backpacks and can only fit a day or two of clothes.

If you’re looking to travel in style with a great carry-on backpack , Everlane’s The ReNew Transit Backpack is the perfect fit. Functional and contemporary, we found it to best suited for day outings because of its smaller capacity. The bag fit all of the packing items during testing, but it would be difficult to fit much more in the main compartment. The ReNew Transit was also comfortable to wear thanks to its lightweight polyester material and compact build. The front flap of the backpack has an external pocket for smaller items, and it folds over to attach magnetically to the front of the backpack.

During our durability tests, the front magnets stayed securely together, and the body of the backpack didn’t get crushed or damaged after we threw it off a table multiple times. We liked how it can fit under an airplane seat, making it a versatile backpack when traveling, too. The laptop sleeve keeps a computer safe, and there's also a water bottle holder on the side and an additional front zippered pocket below the folding magnetic lock. With five earthy tones to choose from, this is a bag to fit all travel style preferences.

The Details: 12 x 17.5 x 7.25 inches | 27 liters | Recycled polyester | 15-inch laptop pocket

Bagsmart Bonchemin Laptop Backpack

The high-quality material and functional design is similar to pricier bags we tried.

You have to clip the laptop pocket with the provided carabiners otherwise the bag will open and your laptop will drop.

Rivaling higher-priced backpacks we tried, this option from Bagsmart proves that you don’t have to sacrifice quality for a lower price, so we dubbed it the best backpack for its high value. During our tests, we found that this bag is spacious enough to fit a laptop, an iPad, a notebook, and a sweatshirt with plenty of room left over to add more. The backpack is made with a cushioned polyester fabric and foam padded straps that had us raving about comfort when wearing. However, because the bag is made out of fabric, it may get dirtier than a nylon pack, but it didn’t show any signs of damage during our durability tests.

With four separate zippered compartments and more than 10 interior pockets, travelers will also appreciate the variety of spots to organize everything. The pack also has anti-theft zippers, a USB charging port, a side water bottle pocket, and a trolley sleeve, making this one of the best-designed laptop backpacks we tried.

The Details: 18.5 x 12.5 x 7 inches | 40 liters | 1.5 pounds | Polyester | 15.6-inch laptop pocket | USB port

Best for Photographers

Peak design everyday backpack.

It comes with Velcro separators for added protection for camera or video gear.

The magnetic top opening has a slight learning curve to open the backpack easily.

The Peak Design Everyday Backpack will give you peace of mind when it comes to protecting your camera or video equipment while traveling. Its structured design adds extra protection, and the backpack comes with four stiff Velcro separators to further protect fragile technology. Plus, the padded laptop sleeve in the back will ensure that your laptop travels safely. The icing on the cake of this backpack is how lightweight it feels to wear, especially for long periods of time. The weatherproof nylon exterior didn’t scuff or get scratched when we threw the backpack onto the floor, and best of all, the laptop and iPad remained unharmed. Since the bag is designed for photographers, it comes with three separators that you can fasten to the side of the backpack to protect and organize camera gear. The magnetic top latch was slightly finicky to open at first, but once done, it gets easier to use.

The Details: 24.5 x 14.2 x 7.8 inches | 30 liters | 4.1 pounds | Recycled nylon, polyester | 15-inch laptop pocket | Fits DSLR cameras

Best for Students

Fjällräven räven 28.

  • Durability 4.3 /5

The backpack is comfortable and breathable to wear while walking.

The polyester blend wasn’t as durable as we hoped.

For students walking across campus or between classes, the Fjällräven Räven 28 Backpack is the best option. We love how breathable the back padding is and that it provides plenty of cushioning and support when it's on. The design itself is not bulky, so we weren't worried about brushing up against other people while walking through crowded places during our real-world test. Plus, there are tons of pockets in the main compartment for classroom essentials, and each side of the backpack has a water bottle slip pocket.

We did notice that this bag easily collects dust or lint after it is tossed on the ground. Despite the slight dirtiness of the fabric, we found that the backpack does an excellent job of protecting a laptop in the designated padded sleeve in the back. It's not difficult to fit varying needs, even after using it on a daily commute for two months, and we found it battled the elements well, keeping a computer untouched by rain, too.

The Details: 18.5 x 14 x 6.1 inches | 28 liters | Polyester and cotton with wax coating | 15-inch laptop pocket

Best Sustainable

Troubadour orbis 1-pocket backpack.

  • Design 4.3 /5

It’s made with 100 percent recycled materials that can be fully recycled if the bag can no longer be used.

The main zipper has a fabric trim over it that makes it difficult to open and close the bag.

This backpack from Troubadour is one of the most unique backpacks we’ve ever tested. Not only is the bag made with 100 percent recycled fabric but when it’s no longer able to be used, it can actually be recycled instead of going into a landfill. While we’re big fans of the sustainability of the bag, it’s also extremely comfortable to wear and looks very sleek from the outside.

The back panel and shoulder straps have lifejacket-level padding so you’ll be plenty comfortable wearing the bag for long periods of time. Your laptop will be thoroughly protected thanks to the cushioned pocket in the back — a distinguishing feature of a good laptop bag . There's an ideal amount of small and medium pockets sprinkled throughout the interior and exterior so it’s easy to pack a sweatshirt, book, phone charger, keys, and more for a trip. The design and materials of the bag feel exceptionally durable, and it still looks new after four months of regular use. The only issue we ran into was with the zipper being slightly difficult to find because of the fabric hood that covers the main zipper.

The Details: 16.5 x 11.8 x 5.5 inches | 17.6 liters | 3.3 pounds | Recycled polyester | 16-inch laptop pocket

Béis The Backpack

  • Design 4.8 /5

It has a simple, no-frills design for extra versatility.

It may be too large for every-day use.

We love the simple design of the Béis backpack and found that it’s packed full of thoughtful features making it the perfect backpack for travelers , students, and commuters alike. We were impressed with the large capacity of the main compartment that could easily fit all of the items on our packing list, including tech items like a laptop and iPad on the inside and a water bottle in one of the two slip pockets on the sides. The main compartment has several smaller pockets and a designated padded laptop sleeve. After we did our drop test to evaluate the durability, the padding did a good job of protecting the laptop, but there isn’t padding at the bottom of the bag which had us questioning how much protection the backpack offers. Even when it was completely packed, the padded straps were comfortable to wear, and the back had more padding for added comfort.

The Details: 19 x 13 x 5.5 inches | 22 liters | 1.8 pounds | Cotton, PVC, polyester | 14.5-inch laptop pocket

Other Laptop Backpacks We Liked

Here are some other backpacks we've tested that are worth mentioning, all of which we liked for various reasons but found some slight issues with.

Away The Everywhere Zip Backpack : The design is sleek and functional, but we think there isn’t enough padding for comfort or laptop protection if the bag is handled roughly.

Samsonite Classic Leather Slim Backpack : The slim design is sleek and professional without sacrificing capacity, but the outer material did scuff a bit during our durability tests.

Vohler Laptop Backpack With Charger : This pack was a serious contender for the best budget bag thanks to its sturdy build and protective padding, but our above pick had a few more standout features than this one.

Swissgear Travel Gear 1900 Scansmart TSA Laptop Backpack : Ideal for students, travelers, or commuters, we loved that this bag is durable and has plenty of storage solutions, but it wasn’t as comfortable as we hoped.

Between several different lab testing occasions, we tested more than 50 laptop backpacks from highly rated brands like The North Face, Away, Samsonite, Swissgear, and more. We evaluated each pack on a rating scale of one to five based on capacity, design, comfort, and durability.

First, to test for capacity, we used a packing list to fill the bag with a laptop, an iPad, a sweatshirt, a water bottle, a notebook, and a toiletry bag. Backpacks scoring a five for capacity were able to fit all of the packing items and provided an appropriate amount of organization solutions for the laptop, as well as the other items both big and small. During the packing process, we evaluated the design of each bag, and our top picks for the design category had plenty of padding around the laptop pocket, a variety of helpful pockets, and handles or straps that made carrying the backpack effortless and intuitive.

Then, we put on the backpacks and walked around for at least ten minutes to get a feel for the bag. We looked out for any pain caused by shoulder or sternum straps, pinching, or any other type of discomfort. The best bags for comfort were outfitted with padding in the back and straps and didn’t cause any awkwardness or irritation from the pack. To test for durability, we pushed the backpacks off of a tabletop and checked the interior contents and exterior for any scuff marks, scratches, or damage. The backpacks also went out for four months of long-term testing in the real world so we could monitor the quality and functionality to ultimately decide which products tested best .

As we continue to test more backpacks, we will update this article with our findings.

Tips for Buying a Laptop Backpack

Check the laptop sleeve size.

Most laptops measure anywhere from 10 to 17 inches in length, so it’s important to double-check the dimensions of the laptop sleeve to ensure it fits in the designated pocket. Usually, you can find the laptop length capacity of a backpack in the “specification” description of the bag.

Padding is key for protection and comfort

The more padding around the laptop, the better protected it will be if that bag is handled roughly . Since the laptop pocket or sleeve is usually in the back of the bag, there should be padding in the back to add comfort while wearing the backpack. Also, be on the lookout for additional padding on the straps to make the bag even more comfortable to wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

During our tests, we placed the laptop directly into the pocket without a case on it and found that the top-performing bags had enough padding to protect the laptop from getting damaged. However, if you feel more comfortable slipping it into a laptop case and placing it in the backpack, feel free to do so.

Laptops often measure anywhere from 13 to 17 inches, which is the diagonal measurement of the screen. To get the right measurement, take a tape measure and place it from one screen corner to the opposite diagonally to get the right measurement. Most laptop pockets will say what dimensions the space will fit so be sure to double-check your laptop size to get the right backpack.

It always depends on the airline you fly and the luggage restrictions that come with your ticket, but generally, a backpack can be a personal item on a flight in addition to a carry-on. However, if your laptop backpack is too large to fit underneath the seat in front of you, it could potentially count as a carry-on instead, so it's important to check with your airline ahead of time.

Most importantly, check the size of the laptop the bag will fit before parting with your cash. While it needs to be large enough to hold your device, it’s also not a good idea to choose a bag far bigger than your machine, as having it move around too much could risk it being damaged.

How we tested the best laptop bags.

We stashed our own laptop inside every bag we tested and carried each to meetings, on public transport and even on work trips away. We considered how much protection each bag gave our device and what else we could carry inside the bag at the same time. We also looked at how sturdy the zips were, if the bags were waterproof, how practical they would be for long-term use and whether it looked good enough to use every day.

The best laptop bags for 2024 are:

  • Best laptop bag overall – Marks and Spencer Autograph leather laptop bag: £90, Marksandspencer.com
  • Best budget laptop sleeve – Rainyear 14in laptop sleeve protective case: £11.99, Amazon.co.uk
  • Best laptop bag for commuters – Osprey Aoede messenger: £80, Osprey.com
  • Best luxury laptop bag – Briggs & Riley medium widemouth backpack: £239, Briggs-riley.co.uk

Marks and Spencer Autograph leather laptop bag

M&S.jpg

  • Best : Laptop bag overall
  • Style : Messenger
  • Material : 100 per cent leather, with polyester lining
  • Suitable for : Laptops up to 14in
  • Fantastic quality

We really felt like we meant business carrying this smart leather bag from M&S. It’s part briefcase, part messenger bag, with a detachable shoulder strap and top handles. We tested the chocolate brown colourway but it also comes in trusty black and dark navy.

Inside, there’s a smart patterned lining and a separate laptop pocket, plus plenty of room for chargers, a water bottle and emergency snacks. The leather really set it apart from most of the other bags we tested, making it feel like an investment that would last, though, be aware, it only fits laptops up to 14in.

Rainyear 14in laptop sleeve protective case

  • Best : Budget laptop sleeve
  • Style : Sleeve
  • Material : Polyester
  • Suitable for : Laptops up to 15in
  • Lightweight
  • No pockets for cables

If you’ve already got a treasured handbag or briefcase you use every day, you might just need a sleeve to give your laptop extra padding inside your bag.

This bargain option comes in seven different colours and sizes, so you can choose the one that fits your device like a glove (it’s worth measuring your device). There are no other bells or whistles here, so, don’t expect a pocket for cables or even a handle. The sleeve is a simple polyester case to protect your laptop from bumps and scrapes. It’s not sturdy enough to withstand a daily commute on its own but offers all the protection you’ll need if you tend to throw your laptop in another bag without a backwards glance.

Osprey Aoede messenger

  • Best : Laptop bag for commuters
  • Material : Recycled polyester packcloth
  • Plenty of pockets
  • Comfortable to carry

This commute-friendly bag has almost everything you could need to carry your laptop safely on the way to work. Made from a webbing material with a padded and adjustable shoulder strap, it’s super-comfy to carry, however long your journey is.

We especially loved the magnetic fastening that ensured we never walked around with our bag accidentally hanging open. We also appreciated all the extra pockets and the organiser panel for all our bits and bobs, such as a small umbrella, a bottle of water and a book to read on the train.

Just be sure to measure your laptop carefully before buying, as this bag only holds devices up to 14in.

Trust Lisboa laptop sleeve, 16in

  • Best : Laptop sleeve
  • Material : Recycled PET bottles
  • Suitable for : Laptops up to 16in
  • Feels secure
  • Eco-friendly material
  • No room for charger

This sleeve really felt like it would keep our laptop safe. Made from four recycled PET bottles, it’s really sturdy, with a padded interior and soft, shock-absorbing lining that we reckon could withstand even the clumsiest tech owner.

It’s a little bigger than many of the other options we tested, so it’s ideal if you have a larger laptop to squeeze inside. However, it’s also slim enough to fit into another suitcase or bag, if you want to take it on your travels. Our one gripe is it had no other pocket for carrying cables or chargers, but if you like to carry the bare minimum and still want to keep your laptop safe, this has everything you need.

Lululemon everywhere backpack, 22l

  • Best : Everyday backpack
  • Style : Backpack
  • Material : Recycled polyester lining, nylon body
  • Laptop pocket has minimal padding

Planning on hitting the gym after work? This simple but stylish nylon backpack has plenty of room for trainers and towels and will keep your laptop safe. There are even water-bottle pockets at the side, so you won’t risk your drink leaking all over your device.

The bag is very comfortable to carry, with padded straps and a useful zippered front pocket for stashing smaller items such as a phone and wallet. There’s loads of room inside, too – we carried everything from a spare jumper to emergency shoes for a night out in ours and still had bags (sorry) of room left.

This stylish backpack works equally well in the evening or at a meeting. It’s worth noting, however, that the interior laptop pocket isn’t hugely padded, so we’d still recommend using a little caution when using this bag to keep your device safe.

Briggs & Riley medium widemouth backpack

  • Best : Luxury laptop bag
  • Material : Recycled poly bottles/nylon ballistic
  • Suitable for : Laptops up to 15.6in
  • Can be monogrammed
  • Lifetime guarantee

It’s not cheap but if you travel a lot and want to carry everything you need in one beautifully designed bag, this is the one for you. Available in black and forest green, this is a dream of a backpack, with a wide-mouthed opening to help you see everything inside; a well-padded laptop pocket; a smaller pocket for a second tablet, and extremely comfy straps.

We loved the fact it has an anti-bacterial air mesh, to avoid a sweaty back when carrying it all day, and it has a slip-through panel, so you can slide it on top of a trolley bag at the airport.

There’s a hidden pocket for stashing valuables or a passport and one pocket with RFID shielding to protect against digital pickpockets. We took it as hand luggage on one long-haul flight, and now can’t remember how we ever lived without it – though, it’s worth stating it is too big to qualify as a cabin bag on Ryanair. All this, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee, to help justify the price.

Red adventure waterproof backpack

  • Best : For any weather
  • Material : Armour Tech recycled fabric
  • Suitable for : Laptops up to 14in (up to 10in wide)
  • B Corp-certified company
  • Heavier than some other bags

Ever fancied taking your laptop up a mountain in a snowstorm? Now you can, with this ready-for-anything backpack that is seriously tough. It’s made from Armour Tech fabric, which is 100 per cent waterproof, with a double-sided TPU coating that can withstand everything from a weekday downpour to oil and mould. It’s all wipe-clean, with ergonomic back padding, a reinforced base and reflective detailing – ideal if you cycle to work.

It took us a second to get used to the roll-top closure, which means it can be made smaller for daily use or expanded to create a whopping 30l interior. In fact, we reckon it would be perfect at a music festival, to guarantee your clothes stay dry.

The laptop pocket is well-padded and removable, for ease, so, our device really felt safe inside. Oh, and did we mention there’s an integral emergency whistle? That could certainly liven up the morning commute.

Tecool 15.6in laptop sleeve case

  • Best : Laptop sleeve with handle
  • Style : Sleeve case
  • Material : Water-resistant polyester
  • Sturdy handle
  • Deep pockets
  • Zip doesn’t open all the way around the case

Just because you prefer a no-frills laptop sleeve, doesn’t necessarily mean you want it tucked under your arm all day when you’re rushing around. This bargain bag combines all the minimal sleekness of a sleeve with an all-important handle, so it can be carried more conveniently.

It comes in a choice of six colours and five sizes – we tested the 15.6in sleeve in an attractive dark grey. This has a contrasting leather-look tan handle, which looks more expensive than it is. It’s made from water-resistant polyester fabric but we weren’t that fond of the way it felt to the touch. There are also two decently sized front pockets for smaller items, but the zip doesn’t go all the way around the sleeve, so, you will have to completely remove your laptop from the case when you come to use your device.

Troubadour carrier tote

  • Best : Weekend bag
  • Style : Tote
  • Material : Recycled polyester and vegan-leather handles
  • Suitable for : Laptops up to 17in
  • Fits larger laptops
  • Eco credentials

If you’re planning a weekend away – or just like to carry your whole life around with you each day – you’ll need a bag with a little more room.

This capacious tote should fit everything you need, even if you’re a chronic over-packer. The bag is made by Troubadour, a company founded by two colleagues who got together to design their own bag when they couldn’t find one they liked. The entire range now comes with an impressive five-year guarantee and the whole company is B Corp-certified, meaning it meets high social and environmental standards.

The bag has a padded section for a laptop – the biggest of any we tested – plus a quick-access phone pocket inside, along with side snaps to make it slimmer when there’s less inside. We really loved the fact it all closes with a sturdy zip, rather than gaping open as so many totes do. Though it’s too large for most people to use every day, it’s a godsend for regular travellers – we didn’t even come close to filling ours when we used it for a two-night trip.

Osprey ozone boarding bag

  • Best : Capacious laptop bag
  • Style : Shoulder bag
  • Material : Nylon
  • Helps keep belongings organised
  • Comes with a TSID luggage tag

Though this over-the-shoulder bag doesn’t seem much bigger than a traditional laptop case, we were astonished by just how much it can hold. Extremely lightweight at just 600g, it’s made of durable nylon that’s soft enough to squeeze in far more than you might think. It also has an additional padded area for other electronics or glasses and a range of zipped and mesh pockets to keep your belongings organised. Plus, our device seemed safe and secure in the separate 16in laptop sleeve.

It’s the extra details that really make this our favourite laptop bag, though. There’s an additional shoulder strap that can be stashed away in a pocket if it’s not needed, and even a hidden pocket for cash. Best of all, the bag comes with a TSID luggage tag from Travel Sentry, which can be registered to help reunite you with your bag if it’s ever misplaced. Smart in every sense.

Antler Chelsea backpack

Antler Chelsea Backpack.jpg

  • Best : Laptop bag for travel
  • Suitable for : Laptops up to 16.5in
  • Extra pockets for other tech and belongings
  • Good range of colourways

We rarely carry just a laptop, so, we need a bag into which we can stuff all sorts of things, while still knowing our device is tucked away safely. This smart, go-anywhere backpack is brilliant if you want to keep your hands free – just sling it on and go. Cleverly, the separate padded laptop pocket also has an extra slip pocket inside, for an additional tablet or Kindle – ideal for travelling.

Available in six colours, including blush pink and stylish slate, it’s made of water-resistant nylon with a brushed fabric lining and an elasticated side pocket for a water bottle. We were especially wowed by the nifty bonus features, including a black sleeve to slot the bag over a suitcase handle, a key clip inside the front pocket and a removable packing pocket for extra clothes. The full zip opener is great to see everything inside and really makes this bag a no-brainer for keen travellers.

Gomatic messenger bag

Gomatic.jpg

  • Best : Adaptable laptop bag
  • Material : 75 per cent polyester, 25 per cent nylon
  • TSA-friendly
  • Masses of space for accessories

For a laptop case that really means business, a Gomatic bag is the way to go. The brand was started by two cousins as a Kickstarter campaign to launch an innovative wallet, and the duo has since gone on to introduce a whole range of functional, high-quality bags and camera accessories.

This one is packed with features, making it perfect if you travel for work. The water-resistant shoulder bag has two customisable panels, so you can adapt the interior to suit whatever you’re packing; a full perimeter zipper for unrestricted access; magnetic water bottle pockets; a safe pocket for valuables, and – best of all – a protective sunglasses case, so they won’t get squished in your bag.

There’s masses of space for cables and the laptop pocket is TSA-friendly – Gomatic claims you won’t need to take your device out of your bag at airport security, which is a complete travel game changer. Pair this with the Gomatic navigator sling (£60, Gomatic.co.uk ) and you’ll be ready for anything.

Trust Bologna eco-friendly laptop bag

best laptop bags backpacks

  • Best : Sustainable laptop bag
  • Style : Briefcase
  • Made with recycled PET bottles
  • Handy front pocket

If you’ve already forked out for a pricey laptop, it’s likely you don’t want to spend tons of cash just to be able to carry it around. This bag does all you need for just £20. Better still, it’s made from 11 recycled PET bottles and certified to the Global Recycled Standard.

Available in black, blue, red and green, the whole bag is padded, so you won’t have to fret about your device, and there’s both a short handle and a removable and adjustable shoulder strap for all-round convenience. Unlike other bags of this size, there’s also a decent size front pocket, which was able to house our cable and plug, so we didn’t need to find somewhere else to stash them. A good, no-fuss buy.

Radley dukes place large open-top work bag

best laptop bags backpacks

  • Best : Laptop bag for style
  • Style : Handbag
  • Material : Leather
  • Suitable for : Laptops up to 13in
  • Smart and stylish
  • Handy pockets
  • Can’t hold larger laptops

When does a laptop bag look nothing like a laptop bag? When Radley designs one so gorgeous you’d happily use it as a handbag even when you’ve left your device at home.

This open-top bag is perfect for anyone who needs to look smart for work but also wants to easily carry a smaller laptop or tablet. The thick leather exterior offers a surprising amount of padding and the central compartment zips shut, for added security. There are pockets inside, so you can easily reach essentials such as a phone or wallet, but there’s space for a cable and plug, too. We particularly like the metal feet on the bottom, so you won’t need to rest the bag itself on the grimy floor of a train or office. Anyone with a larger laptop will be green with envy that they have to give this one a miss.

Twelve South suitcase for MacBook

Twelve South.jpg

  • Best : Laptop bag for MacBooks
  • Material : Twill exterior, leather handle
  • Suitable for : 13in or 16in laptops
  • Includes a handle
  • Suspension hinge
  • No room for a plug

No need to worry about your trusty MacBook getting damaged when you’re out and about with this tough, super-sturdy case, which has been designed especially with the Apple laptop in mind. It’s available in two different sizes – 13in and 16in – so, make sure you buy the right one for your MacBook, then relax knowing it’s completely secure inside.

The bag has a quilted diamond pattern exterior and a moulded hard shell that gives extra protection on the edges. Its slim profile means the whole case can easily be slipped inside a briefcase or larger bag, but it has a leather handle for when you need to carry the bag by itself, too. Best of all, the wide opening and suspension hinge mean you can use the MacBook – and even charge it – without taking it out of the case. We used it while working on a train and found it much easier than taking our MacBook out completely. The only downside? While there’s an internal pocket for a notebook or a cable, we couldn’t quite squeeze a plug inside, too.

Briggs & Riley essential tote

Briggs & Riley essential tote.png

  • Best : Go-anywhere bag
  • Material : Micro weave nylon
  • Holds all your essentials
  • RFID-blocking security pocket

Looking for one bag that will do everything? This hardworking Briggs & Riley tote is the answer. Yes, there’s a padded laptop compartment but that’s just the beginning. This roomy bag made of lightweight micro weave nylon also has an interior slip pocket for A4-sized files or folders; pen loops; business card slip pockets; and zipped pockets for all the cables and plugs you could ever need. There’s even an RFID-blocking security pocket for credit cards and passports, to protect your personal data from digital pickpockets.

We used it as our only luggage for a two-night trip – including our laptop. We love the fact the leather fob can be monogrammed with three initials for no extra cost, too.

The verdict: Laptop bags

The best laptop bag for you will depend on what style you prefer, from a minimalist sleeve to a fits-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink tote. However, we think the Marks and Spencer Autograph leather laptop bag is a smart choice that won’t show you up in even the most formal meeting. Plus, it has plenty of room to carry anything else you’ll need. If you have more cash to spend, you won’t regret splurging on the Briggs & Riley medium widemouth backpack , with its lifetime guarantee, comfortable straps and thought-of-everything interior. Meanwhile, if you’re just looking for a little extra protection for your tech, the Rainyear 14in laptop sleeve is a great budget option.

Best Travel Tech Organizer With Padded Protection

18 Best Travel Backpacks, According to Frequent Flyers

By Gabrielle Porcaro

Best travel backpacks for women collage featuring six different backpacks on black and white background.

As someone who frequently travels, I've slung duffels, totes , and travel purses on my arm, but nothing compares to using the best travel backpacks. Depending on the length of your trip, a suitcase can either be too bulky or not big enough, so you'll need the vital second bag to make sure all your clothes, tech, and gear securely arrive at your destination. Plus, traveling with a backpack can be more supportive for your back, freeing up your arms and hands to pull out directions on your phone or to hold an iced coffee. Backpacks can also be surprisingly roomy, so everything you need (or want) on your trip fits as comfortably as possible. The good news is there are a wide range of excellent options to suit any and all of your needs. Below, we found the most travel-friendly options and tapped Glamour editors and some of our frequent-flier friends to share the best travel backpacks.

What to look for in a travel backpack

When shopping for luggage items like a travel backpack, the comfort and capacity of the bag is key. You want it to feel easy on the body, which means wide straps or a hip belt to distribute weight, which comes in handy if you're running to catch a plane or carrying it through a crowded subway. Bonus points if the straps are they adjustable and padded. Consider the material: Is it lightweight, soft, and made of durable material like water-resistant fabric? As for size, think about the use of the backpack. There are weekender bags and carry-on size options you can use for long weekends or smartly packed weeklong vacations and styles for short day trips, hikes, or shopping excursions.

Here's a simple, sleek backpack with plenty of built-in organization. “My twin sister and I have traveled the world together, and this bag came in particularly handy on our trip to South America when we both needed more room besides our carry-on luggage. What I loved about this piece is it's essentially a suitcase with straps. The wrap zipper fully opens up, allowing you to see and organize your goods into the compartments. Crafted in repurposed nylon, the exterior is one of a kind, and the colors made it easier to spot one another through the crowds,” says Glamour contributor Gabrielle Porcaro .

Whether you're a college commuter or in the office most days, this is an excellent option for everyday travel or work trips. It's a go-to for Condé Nast associate director of box business operations Haley Welch . “The separate laptop compartment makes organizing seamless, as does the front and upper zipper compartments, which is great for a Kindle,” she says. She likes that the chic and minimal look effortlessly mixes with every outfit, from comfy travel joggers and hoodies to a work-appropriate suit or dress.

Tumi Voyageur Just in Case Packable Nylon Travel Backpack

For anyone looking for a dressier option for their everyday commute or regular work trips, Tumi has a gorgeous style. Don't let the sleek appearance fool you; the zipper reveals a very roomy interior but still folds flat. A two-way zipper makes it easier to grab whatever you need from the inside with a smaller front pocket as well. There’s also a very convenient add-to-a-bag sleeve to secure this nicely over your suitcase handle, making it one to use on daily and international excursions. It's so stylish it can double as a cute work bag for office days.

This pick, courtesy of Glamour commerce editor Malia Griggs , is one that can hold every little trinket or gadget you own. “I thought this backpack was going to my go-to for hiking, but it’s actually my go-to for pretty much everything. I love how sleek it is, and yet, despite its slim appearance, it manages to fit my 15-inch laptop, my secondary screen, charger, headphones, e-reader, and mouse. It has handy organizational features, like an inner key ring, zippered outer pockets for me to stash my lip gloss and phone, and not one but two mesh pockets that fit my water bottle and an umbrella. Its handles are also made of a breathable fabric—so useful when I’ve worked up a sweat while out and about.”

  • Pros :Lightweight; ripstop material resists snags and tears; mesh back panel for added support

Best Minimalist Design : Dagne Dover Dakota Medium Neoprene Backpack

Dagne Dover Dakota Medium Neoprene Backpack

Dagne Dover Dakota Medium Neoprene Backpack

“On my last flight I saw not one, not two, but multiple travelers with this style hanging from their backs. As someone who regularly takes Dagne Dover bags on trips, I understand the popularity. The neoprene material is strong, soft, and stretchy, which causes the bag to flex to your body and whatever you put inside. It's forgiving, allowing you to fit in and possibly overstuff everything you need for a trip. It also washes well, ensuring it will always have that chic appearance even after some wear and tear,” says Porcaro. Dagne Dover also makes excellent diaper backpacks like this parent-approved Indi Diaper Bag .

Capacity: 16 L / Waterproof : No

  • Pros: Packs a lot; machine washable

“So many features drew me to this bag: the eco-friendly (plus water-friendly) material, smart design, and luggage sleeve—a must for any travel carry-on piece. There are ten pockets and compartments to organize essentials, something I took full advantage of when using. As an active person trying to hydrate more, I also appreciated the side pockets that securely held my water bottle (I bent over, and it didn't budge). It also includes a removable drawstring bag, something I always forget to pack for morning workouts and overnight travels,” says Porcaro.

Capacity: 21 L / Waterproof : Water-resistant

Expandable storage is always a plus with any travel bag. This backpack, from super cool brand Roark, has an adjustable top to allow more room. The roll-top also has a magnetic entry, allowing for easy and secure access on the move. Interior and exterior pockets, including one for your tablet or laptop, sunglasses, and a hidden pocket for your passport, are specific details that make this a unique backpack. Ergonomic air mesh padded straps, a quilted back, and chest straps prevent this from adding any discomfort to your travels. The appearance calls for adventure, but it equally works in cities.

Patagonia Black Hole® Duffel 55L

Patagonia Black Hole® Duffel 55L

The beauty of this bag is it says it right in the title—it's a black hole. With a 55-liter capacity, there's no doubt it will hold everything you need for a long weekend or even a long weekend trip. Ultra-comfortable to carry, it's perfect for hiking excursions, camping trips, or multi-city European backpacking adventures. Durably made with 100% recycled fabric, this fits in the overhead bin; if you want to check it, you can trust it will return to you just as you left it.

Herschel Kaslo Dayback Tech Backpack

If you're looking for a laptop backpack , this is a top choice. Hershel backpacks are a go-to for marriage and family therapist and mom of two boys, Whitney Steller. “I have had this for almost six years, and the quality is amazing. No rips or anything and the straps are still comfortable. “The classic grade school look was also a draw and the fact that it fits perfectly under a plane seat. This style, in particular, is eco-friendly, made from post-consumer water bottles, and has a padded compartment to fit up a 15-inch laptop.

Capacity: 20 L / Waterproof : No

  • Pros: Optional strum strap to help disturbed weight; padded compartment for laptop
  • Cons: No luggage sleeve

Best Y-Pack : Topo Designs Y-Pack Backpack

Topo Designs YPack Backpack

Topo Designs Y-Pack Backpack

This is an awesome option for anyone who ends up leaving a trip with more than they brought. “The adjustable Y-shaped strap can be tight and secure or loosened to allow for more room, which is the reason why this is a piece of heavy rotation for me. It always shocks me how much I can fit/shove into the main compartment yet still slide my laptop out of the back sleeve. No matter if it’s filled with a hoodie and various pouches holding makeup, power cords, and snacks; it's easy to access. I like to use the zip pocket on the top to store antibacterial wipes, hand sanitizer, headphones, and anything else I want easy access to once I arrive on the flight,” says Porcaro.

Capacity: 23.8 L / Waterproof : No

  • Pros: Drawstring closure offers more space; zip pocket on top for easy access; durable material great for travel and the outdoors
  • Cons: G-hook buckle closure can sometimes be tough

Best Waterproof : SealLine Skylake Dry Pack

SealLine Skylake Dry Pack

The beauty of this piece is that it rolls up for easy packing within a suitcase or larger travel backpack. The fact that it's created from an extremely lightweight material also ups the packability and wear factor. Jen Ator, a personal trainer, used this on her honeymoon in Thailand. “Not only was it super sturdy and waterproof, but it fits everything we needed during day trips.” She also pointed out how handy the exterior pocket was for easy access to essentials like a phone to snap a picture of her and her husband.

Capacity : 18 L / Waterproof : Yes

  • Pros: Lightweight; stowable
  • Cons: No interior pocket

Best Convertible : Thule Crossover 2 Convertible Backpack

Thule Crossover 2 Convertible Backpack

Adaptability is vital when traveling, and this Thule convertible backpack offers various ways to hold it. If you're in a tight space, de-boarding, or want to give your shoulders a break, there is a longer shoulder strap and top handle to hold. Inside the backpack, you'll find compartments that look like your favorite easy-rolling carry-on suitcase, making it easy to keep everything with you secure and organized. Another standout feature is the exterior crush-resistant SafeZone compartment that's perfect for storing sunglasses or a phone.

Capacity: 21 ¾"H x 14"W x 8"D. / Waterproof : Water Resistant

  • Pros: Crust resistant, two-way zip closure, RFID-shielded pocket;
  • Cons: Expensive

Best for City Travel : PAK Large Nylon Backpack

PAK Large Nylon Backpack

PAK Large Nylon Backpack

“As a backpack I recently added to my collection, I was impressed by how many features were hidden in what seemed like a pretty basic bag. First, it’s worth noting how seamlessly this slid on and off my back, making it a breeze to sit on the subway or grab my wallet to buy coffee. At first glance, I was confused about the zipper on the bottom of the front pocket, but when I realized it was a coat sling, which, as someone who runs cold and always has an extra layer, is something I will use again and again. Another made-for-me feature is an extra large pocket for water bottles since it’s a personal pet peeve when they aren’t wide enough for standard sizes. Having only worn this around the city for daily life, I appreciate that the shape and look of the pack are city-ready and more polished. When I take this on international trips, I look forward to using the hidden theft-proof compartments,” says Porcaro.

Capacity: 13.5”L x 7” W x 14” H / Waterproof : No

  • Pros: Easy access pocket in the back, Coat sling, Large side pockets
  • Cons: Not super large

Best Customizable : Roam Continental Backpack

Anyone who is a fan of customization will appreciate this pick. Buyers can choose the color they want on the front, back, side, and straps to create a bag that is uniquely theirs. This is favorite of Glamour commerce editor Jenifer Calle , who has been using it for years. “It fits enough for weekend trips and vacation travel. I particularly like that the side zippers fit my Owala water bottle and there are plenty of zipper and pockets to hold my wallet, keys, chargers, lip balms, and more” says Glamour’s Calle.

Capacity : 26 L / Waterproof : Water Repellent

  • Pros : Customizable; 100-day trial period; soft material; luggage sleeve
  • Cons : Expensive

California Prop 65

CALIFORNIA PROP 65

All products shipped by Acehigh Tech Corp into the State of California are subject to Proposition 65 (“Prop 65”) or The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. “Prop 65” was created through the ballot initiative process and was intended to protect California citizens and the State’s drinking water from a State determined list of over 850 chemicals that are “known” by the State to cause cancer, reproductive harm, or birth defects. This list and other information regarding “Prop 65” can be accessed at  http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html .

Prop 65 requires that a “clear and reasonable warning” be provided by a Person/Company in the course of doing business, who manufactures, produces, assembles, processes, handles, distributes, stores, sells, or otherwise transfers a consumer product which he or she knows to contain a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity to any person to whom the product is sold or transferred.

Because we cannot test every piece of every order that we ship to California for every one of the Proposition 65 listed 850 chemicals, the safest option is to include the following label on each product that may ship to the State of California - which we will do free of charge.

Our goal has, and will continue to, use reputable and environmentally responsible suppliers to ultimately insure the safety of our products and its users. This label will ensure full compliance with California Proposition 65 requirements.

Take Your Best Ever Photos on Vacation: The Essential Gear You Need

From cameras and filters to bags and tripods, this is the gear you should take for pro-standard travel photos.

travel gear tech bag

  • Shortlisted for British Photography Awards 2022, Commended in Landscape Photographer of the Year 2022

A scenic cityscape

Vacations can provide amazing opportunities for gorgeous travel photos, whether you're jumping on a jet to a tropical island, hiking into the mountains or spending a long weekend away in your local countryside. And with powerful cameras stuffed into phones like the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Galaxy S24 Ultra , along with a plethora of  amazing mirrorless cameras from the likes of Canon, Sony and Fujifilm, getting great images doesn't mean hauling a huge kit bag with you. 

I've been a professional photographer for over a decade and have traveled the world taking photos. Here, I'll take you through the essential gear you need to bring with you on your trip. I'll also recommend some extras to consider if you want to return home with creative pieces of art, rather than just holiday snaps. 

Read more:   Take Pro Travel Photos This Summer With These Easy Tips

Choose the right camera

While you're unlikely going to buy an entirely new camera system just for an upcoming trip, if you're in the market already for a new camera then an imminent vacation is a great excuse to invest. While traveling with a camera used to mean hauling a bulky DSLR in your backpack everywhere you go, modern mirrorless cameras are typically much smaller and lighter, making them superb for traveling. I took just my Canon R5 and a small, lightweight 50mm f1.8 lens on a three-week trip to Sicily and loved the shots I got from this compact setup.

The R5 doesn't come cheap, nor is it the smallest camera around, but it offers stunning image quality from its full-frame sensor, amazing video skills and has pro features like in-body image stabilization. Want something a bit smaller? Look towards a micro four thirds camera like the Fujifilm X-S10 or the fixed-lens X100VI. Check out my guide to the best cameras if you want inspiration on which model to go for. 

A person wearing a photography bag

Keeping your lens choices to a minimum will help reduce the weight. A standard zoom like a 24-70mm gives a great range for capturing wide, sweeping vistas, while providing enough zoom to get closer up on your subjects. I'd also recommend packing a small prime lens (like the 50mm f1.8) as these tend to be lightweight and compact enough to always have in your bag or slung around your shoulder for whenever inspiration strikes.

Read more: Best Camera Phone for 2024

But maybe you don't need a camera at all -- today's top phones can take amazing images and can shoot in raw format allowing for the same sort of editing you'd typically do with images from regular cameras. The iPhone 15 Pro Max takes gorgeous images -- especially using Apple's ProRaw format -- and its multiple rear lenses give creative shooting options for whatever scene you find yourself in front of. 

A person holding a Canon EOS RP

Canon's EOS RP offers full-frame quality but in a very compact size, particularly when paired with the tiny 50mm f1.8 lens.

The best travel tripod

A tripod certainly isn't essential for all travel photography, but when the light fades and you need to slow the shutter speed to several seconds to get a good exposure, you'll need one to secure your camera. You'll definitely need a tripod if you want to nail those nighttime shots overlooking a gorgeous bay, capture the stars above those snowcapped mountains, or pull off those artful long exposures of waterfalls.

A bridge over water with wispy clouds in a blue sky in the background

By using a sturdy tripod, I was able to slow the shutter speed right down to capture the motion of the water and clouds over the Forth Bridge.

Again, size matters and you should look for a compact, travel tripod that can easily fit in your backpack -- or attach to the outside of it. Modern materials like carbon fiber will keep the weight down, but they also tend to be more expensive, so you'll need to decide how much you're willing to shell out. 

As its name suggests, the Peak Design travel tripod is a great tripod for traveling, thanks to its small size when folded down and its light weight. I've done all-day hikes with this strapped to my back and barely noticed its presence -- something I can't say for most tripods. Make sure to check out my full roundup of the  best tripods you can buy . Or, if weight is really an issue, you can even try using your own DIY tripod .

A person wearing a backpack-style photography bag

A proper adventure backpack

A dedicated photo bag should be high on your list. After all, you don't want your fancy new gear getting knocked around and breaking, do you? A good bag will have compartments to keep your camera safe and secure, but will also let you access it quickly. It's important, too, to find one that also has plenty of space to keep other items you'll need while out and about.

If you're going to be out with it all day, I recommend a backpack with two shoulder straps, rather than a single-strap messenger bag. It'll spread that weight over both your shoulders and keep you comfortable longer. Look for things like side-access zips, so you can quickly get your camera out when inspiration strikes; plenty of additional pockets for batteries and snacks; weather-resistant materials; and mounting points to help carry your tripod. 

I've done a lot of the hard work for you in rounding up my top photography backpacks . There are options for all kinds of photography, from short city breaks to multiday hikes with lots of gear. Have a read through that list, and make sure that what you're taking is suitable for where you're going.

People walking in the foreground of a beautiful cityscape

Always keeping your camera handy means you're ever ready to shoot when you see a good opportunity.

The important extras

The list above is really the essential stuff you'll need to take with you. How much more you bring will depend on how seriously you take your photography and the sort of images you hope to take. Those of you going on wildlife safaris, for example, will benefit from packing a big telephoto zoom lens. Always consider having multiple spare batteries and a charger, as even the best cameras will tend to give you only a day of photos. There's nothing worse than getting to a beautiful afternoon destination only to find you exhausted your power in the morning. Keeping a spare in your bag will let you swap it out and keep on shooting into the evening.

Read more: Best Accessories for Photographers

The same goes for storage. It's easy to take hundreds of raw images a day in a beautiful location and all those shots can quickly fill up your card. Thankfully, SD cards are pretty cheap these days, so it's worth buying a few 64GB or 128GB cards to keep with you. 

Then there's the wide array of photographic filters that may help you get certain shots. A circular polarizer can be used to help make blue skies more vivid, or reduce the reflection on water, while a neutral density filter darkens the image, allowing you to use long exposures to blur the motion of water, cars or people. 

A marker sign in water

By using a neutral density filter, I was able to blur the motion of the water until it became a smooth and silky surface.

If you want to shoot video on your travels, you may need additional equipment, such as microphones, higher-capacity, faster storage cards and perhaps even video tripods or gimbals for smoother, professional-looking footage. Check out my guide to the  best accessories for video production  for more info.
