>>2859737>You don't need a backpack: you need a purse. Your main criteria is you want to look out while not actually being out.that is such a generalised statement, i bet you felt really good saying that, truly you are one of the most /out/istic.
first of all: i don't need a backpack, i have several, for different purposes.
the aforementioned leather backpack, i do use in public, it's small, it looks nice, it can hold everything i need on a lot of days. the only problem with that one is, that it's almost too nice, so I can't use it in situations where it might get dirty or damaged. it is a backpack specifically for this purpose. it does not to be able to be taken on hikes and survive extreme conditions.
that's what my second backpack does, it's military style, 20L, i have been using it for 10 years for everything, however i will replace is eventually with something nicer non military as its pretty worn down now. for some purposes it's def. not the right backpack, it does the job due to its size but lacks features that would make it excel at actual outdoors-y stuff.
i also have an even bigger 30L backpack, too big for daily use but that thing is amazing.
