The backpack: clear, well thought-out, flexible on the go
Travel backpacks actively accompany you on every journey. They are practical when you are travelling by train, bus or on foot - and help you to stay mobile and organized.
- Flexible on the move: Stairs, cobblestones or a full platform - you can get through with a backpack.
- Ergonomically designed: Padded shoulder straps, a stable back surface and body-hugging shape ensure that you're comfortable on the go, even with more weight.
- Accessible & practical: Well thought-out organization with front, side and laptop compartments makes it easy for you to get what you need on the go.
- Space-saving and compact: Many models can be flexibly made smaller and fit under seats, in train luggage compartments or in hostel lockers. So you don't have to worry about where to put your backpack.
- Versatile: A good model will accompany you in everyday life as well as when traveling - whether as hand luggage, a weekender or for everyday use with a laptop and equipment.
A suitcase as an alternative or addition?
A suitcase, on the other hand, can be worthwhile if you're taking a lot with you and staying in one place for longer. The sturdy cover provides protection and the wheels ensure comfort on flat surfaces.
- Structured storage space: Thanks to defined compartments and a hard outer shape, luggage can be stowed away in an organized manner.
- Comfort on level surfaces: suitcases with wheels are easy to pull at airports, hotels or train stations. This takes the strain off heavier luggage, provided the path is clear and paved.
- No strain when carrying: Especially with particularly heavy luggage, it can be advantageous not to carry the weight on your back.
- Firm protection for sensitive contents: Hard-shell models protect your luggage during transportation.
- Useful for longer stays in one place: If you're not traveling every day and can unpack your luggage in your hotel or apartment, a suitcase offers easy storage and a clear overview.

Your questions about travel backpacks
Is a travel backpack also suitable for air travel?
Yes, many of our models meet standard hand luggage dimensions and can be easily stowed in the luggage compartment. Thanks to intelligent partitioning, you always have important items such as travel documents, technology or snacks to hand. You can also check in larger travel backpacks as usual and collect them after your flight.
When does a suitcase make more sense?
A suitcase can offer advantages for long stays or very fragile luggage. However, if you travel frequently or use several means of transportation, a backpack usually offers you more freedom and comfort.
How big should my rucksack be for a week?
A volume of approx. 40 l is usually enough for 5-7 days. The interior layout is important: with practical compartments and sustainable accessories such as packing cubes, your luggage can be organized efficiently - without chaos when unpacking
