Ladies Backpacks

What should you look for when choosing your backpack?

What distinguishes a women's backpack from a men's backpack?

Ergonomics and comfort play an important role in a backpack - whether for women or men. Therefore, women's backpacks differ from men's backpacks mainly in their size, fit and carrying systems. On average, women are smaller than men and the ratio of leg length to back length is different. Therefore, a women's backpack should have a shorter back. The carrying straps should be narrower and have a strong S-shape because of the narrower shoulders. A chest strap, if any, should be set higher than on a men's backpack. Hip straps are usually more padded and placed to distribute weight well on the usually wider hip bones. In the case of backpacks for everyday use or the office, of course, other criteria such as a laptop compartment or even just the chic appearance play a role.

For these criteria we have compiled a selection for you:

Up to a height of 1.70cm

On average, women are slightly smaller than men and their backs are often shorter in relation to their legs. Therefore, the length of a women's backpack is in most cases shorter than its male counterpart. Accordingly, backpacks for women often have less volume.

Optimal carrying system

Wecontinue with the shoulder and hip straps. As a rule, women have narrower shoulders than men, which is why the straps on women's backpacks are attached differently. They are ergonomically optimized for the female physique. It is the same with the hip belt. Since women are usually wider in the pelvic area than men, the hip belts usually sit a little more oblique here, so that the weight can be ideally distributed over the pelvis.

Perfect ergonomics

The differences in ergonomics stand out more the larger a women's backpack is. With a small women's backpack for everyday use, a perfect fit to the female anatomy is not as important as with a hiking or trekking backpack, which often has to be carried heavily loaded over a long period of time.

The right backpack for every look

Of course, the look also plays a role. Women's backpacks are often offered in a more feminine design. Some brands provide their women's models with flowers or an addition in the name, so that it is immediately apparent at first glance that it is a women's backpack.

Which ladies backpack is suitable for me?

To find out which women's backpack is suitable for you, several individual factors play a role.

First, it is important to be clear about the occasion for which you need a women's backpack. You have a wide selection of models in different sizes and made of different materials. Depending on the occasion, you can choose a suitable backpack.

If you have narrowed down the selection by occasion, it also depends on your personal body size and shape, which ladies backpack is suitable for you. When buying, make sure that the size of the backpack fits your back perfectly. The carrying system can usually be modified and adapted to individual circumstances.

To test whether a backpack fits you, you should fill it as heavy as possible and then wear it on your back for a while. You will instinctively feel if it fits properly. Large travel backpacks or hiking backpacks for women, for example, should always sit in such a way that part of the weight is transferred to the hips. Therefore, the straps must be at an optimal height, especially there.

Smaller backpacks for everyday use do not necessarily have to fit perfectly against the back. But they shouldn't cut in or pinch anywhere either and should be comfortable to wear overall.

Sustainable ladies backpacks

Women's backpacks are often made of polyamide or polyester. What at first glance does not seem very environmentally friendly, can be quite sustainable. Namely, if the plastic is made from recycled plastic, for example, from garbage from the oceans.

Leather backpacks

Another material that is often used for ladies backpacks is leather. Visually, it looks very high-quality and is therefore particularly popular for business backpacks or for ladies backpacks for everyday use. Leather is also a durable material, but it is not quite as easy to care for as polyester. There are also impregnated leather backpacks, which can then also be worn when wet. Leather is a comparatively expensive material, which is why you have to expect somewhat higher costs when buying a real, high-quality leather backpack. The price is usually worth it, however, because leather is not only very robust, but also absolutely timeless.
