There are no strict requirements for their production — everything depends only on the ideas of the designer. They can be roomy and small; leather, fabric and silicone are used as the material. Backpacks can have different designs.

Urban backpacks have soft or frame.
Soft backpacks are usually lightweight and take up little space when folded. Their back can be reinforced with additional materials — the denser it is, the less things lying inside will rest against the back. In such backpacks, the center of gravity often shifts, the weight of things is distributed unevenly over the shoulders, so it is not recommended to load a soft backpack heavily.
Frame backpacks have a dense back, they keep their shape well. These models look neater than soft ones, they can distribute the load more evenly. Frame backpacks cannot be folded as compactly as soft ones, but they are more comfortable to carry things during the day.

Frame backpack with an anatomical design. It has a dense back and soft inserts on it and on the straps. These inserts allow you to evenly distribute the weight of the accessory on the entire musculoskeletal system.

Usually backpacks are made of fabric, natural or artificial leather, silicone. The last three options are water-repellent, so they are suitable for any weather.
Fabric backpacks are lighter than leather counterparts, but can get wet in rain or snow. Therefore, if your city has a lot of rainfall, you should choose a backpack made of water-repellent fabric — for example, a membrane, polyester, Oxford — or stock up on a waterproof cover. It is better to give preference to dense fabrics with a rare weave — they are more wear-resistant and retain moisture well.
Genuine leather will last the longest, but it also costs, as a rule, more expensive than other materials.
Faux leather can quickly crack on handles and other vulnerable areas. However, products from it are inexpensive, so you can afford to experiment with style.
Backpack made of silicone looks spectacular, pleasant to the touch, it does not leave fingerprints. However, there is a high probability that after washing the accessory will lose its original appearance.

Thin backpack straps 2 cm wide or less look laconic, but if you load the backpack too much, the straps will cut into your shoulders. It is more convenient to carry heavy things in a backpack with thick straps (from 5 cm), but too wide ones can cause discomfort in the armpits.
In the hot summer, you can wear a backpack with straps of any thickness, it is only important that they are soft from the inside, fit comfortably to the body and do not rub. They can also have soft anatomical inserts on the inside, thanks to which the backpack will be comfortable to wear throughout the day.
The straps should be adjustable in length so that they can be adapted to individual parameters. If the adjustment is made using a classic double-slot buckle, you need to check how securely it fixes the straps. They should not slip while wearing a backpack filled with heavy things. With this buckle option, you can quickly tighten and loosen the straps without removing the backpack.
There are also straps that are adjustable like a simple belt. Thanks to the holes located at the same level, it is possible to avoid uncomfortable distortion due to different lengths of the straps. This buckle provides a secure fit, however, the tongue can cling to clothing and accessories.

Yes, there are different models of backpacks with one shoulder strap: some can be worn over any shoulder, others only over the left or right. Getting things out of such a backpack is very simple — you just need to move it from the back to the side. This is convenient to do in crowded places so as not to offend anyone and not lose sight of the contents of the bag.
A backpack with one strap is suitable if you do not need to carry a lot of things with you. For more comfort, some backpacks have a waist belt that transfers part of the load from the shoulder to the hips.

For those who heavily load the backpack, an accessory with additional straps is suitable, which allows you to more evenly distribute the weight of things over the body. The straps are adjustable in length, so they can be tightened in different ways — depending on the individual characteristics and the fullness of the backpack.
A chest strap, or chest strap, connects the straps together at chest level. As a result, the backpack is pressed against the body and fixed more tightly.
The chest strap can be purchased separately and added to almost any backpack.
The waist belt is at waist level, it reduces the load on the shoulders, partially transferring it to the pelvic area.

Usually the volume of city backpacks is from 5 to 30 liters, while it can reach 60.
Backpacks with one strap and compact accessories, as a rule, have a volume of up to 15 liters. In such models, you can place the most necessary things: a tablet, a book and important little things.
A backpack of 15-20 liters is considered average in volume. You can put a small laptop, papers and a warm jacket in it.
In capacious backpacks with a volume of 20 liters or more, you can carry shoes and fitness uniforms, a snack, a laptop and other things.
When choosing an accessory, you should pay attention not only to its volume, but also to its height, width and thickness. For example, a backpack of a certain size may seem optimal for your lifestyle, but will not fit in height — it may not fit a laptop or A4 documents.

To avoid pain in the back, it is recommended to wear a classic backpack on two shoulders. If you have a backpack with one strap, try to load it as little as possible.
The recommended weight of a filled urban backpack should be up to 10% of your body weight. It is better to put heavy things along the spine, closer to the back — so that they do not create a distortion and do not pull the backpack back.
It is important to tighten the straps so that the backpack fits snugly against the back, but does not press anywhere. This is necessary to create a more even load on all muscles. At the same time, the top of the backpack should not be above shoulder level, and its lower part should not be below the hip line.

It is best to choose a backpack that has a special compartment or pocket for a laptop. Devices should be stored separately from other things to avoid scratches and mechanical pressure.
It is necessary to clarify in the store, a laptop with which diagonal will fit in a specific backpack. You should also consider the thickness of your device: if it is more than average, you need to buy a model designed for a laptop with a slightly larger diagonal.

This backpack has additional elements that protect personal items from theft. These can be a hidden zipper, hidden pockets, an accessory frame protected from cuts, RFID protection for bank cards, wire outlets that allow you to leave devices inside the backpack. The backpack can also be impact resistant.
It should be borne in mind that it is usually difficult and long to get your things out of an anti-theft backpack.

Put your backpack in a breathable fabric bag and put it in a dry, ventilated place away from sunlight. It is important to know that under the influence of ultraviolet light, genuine leather and fabric will fade, and artificial leather may crack.
For long-term storage, a backpack with a dense frame should be filled with newspapers or paper; heavy things should not be placed on it.
Backpacks with a soft design can be safely rolled up or folded neatly when unfolded. Do not store the product hanging, because the straps can be deformed.
