Packed and Carried on Real Trips


Men should prioritize size, comfort, and durability in a travel backpack.

  • Size: The best backpack size is carry-on-sized. Choose a 40L backpack to maximize your packing space and stay compliant with international airlines. If you're a light packer, go for an even smaller bag.
  • Comfort: Your bag must be comfortable to carry. You need adequate padding and a weight-bearing hip belt. The hip belt will take 80% of the weight off of your shoulders so you're carrying your bag with your stronger leg muscles.
  • Durability: You need a bag that's as tough as you are. Your bag should be built for the road. At Tortuga, we back our bags with a Worldwide Warranty if anything goes wrong.
