Ranking the best waterproof backpacks for 2022

Everyone should have a waterproof backpack in their arsenal. It will help keep things from getting wet and keep them in good condition, even if it's raining heavily outside. As a rule, the fabrics of such products have the ability to repel dirt, so the product does not need to be washed frequently. After studying the opinions of users, a rating of the most sought-after quality backpacks has been compiled.

Features and scope

Backpacks are conditionally divided into categories: sports, tourist, urban.

The first group includes models for training and visiting gyms. When buying them, you should take into account that they often have less functionality, usually they have one or two compartments and a couple of pockets for small items. In more expensive versions, there is a compartment for shoes or wet clothes. In addition, there should be a ventilated wall adjacent to the back, since during physical activity the body sweats, and at the same time, obvious discomfort will be felt.

The product for tourists solves the main tasks in the campaign - this is the convenience of placing things and safety. In extreme conditions, the backpack even saved the life of its owner. Another important component is the maximum distribution of the load in order to lighten the weight, while we should not forget about comfortable access to the contents, and this can be either a bottle of drinking water or a lighter. Travel duffel bags have a higher price.

Urban models are slightly different from the previous two groups. They should be inexpensive, but outwardly eye-catching and stylish. As a rule, they have different colors, the shape can also be different. There are models where you can place a laptop separately or recharge a gadget.

Often backpacks are used by law enforcement agencies, military personnel, special forces.With such an arsenal, it is convenient to organize the storage of personal belongings in field conditions.
