Retired downtown lawyer here. Everyone in our office wore a backpack. Over BOTH shoulders cuz that stuff was heavy. Spend money on a designer one (always with padded straps) if you need the cachet, but … … nobody worthwhile cares what you carry stuff in. I would just assume you spent all your money on your boat; it’s really none of my business and I just need what’s in your brain and on those papers. Brilliant people show up with documents in haphazard grocery bags. Back in the day they’d reek of stale tobacco smoke. But it was what was on them that counted. Slick doesn’t mean smart, and employers prefer results over *out-of-office* appearance, all else being equal. Grampa joke: Be kine to your spine. Oh, yes I did. I earned it! 🤭

@@luctisonae I previously posted a reply with some Canadian and international brands; I guess that’s why it got deleted. Look for wide straps that won’t cut into your shoulders/neck. They come in all kinds of ‘urban professional’ designs these days, including designer brands. You don’t have to go overboard, but don’t cheap out. Look for solid construction, durable hardware, and quality material. Oh, and *make sure it actually keeps rain out!* Sounds dumb, but I’ve seen nice looking backpacks that gap with the drawstring and create a nice little funnel right into the bottom of the bag outside the flap. (Edit: drawstrings 🙄) Fit is, of course, crucial. Shop around and make an investment in yourself. *Then OWN it!* 👍 If you pay for quality once, you won’t have to pay again for decades. A good classic leather bag is a good leather bag, and is worth having repaired if something does break. Straps don’t change that. 🤷🏼♂️🙂 I even got a guitar case with backpack straps on it. Now my guitar neck and my own align when I’m walking or biking. 🥹 Pro tip: *always* be aware of who & what you’re blocking with that hump on your back. Or, far worse, hitting. It will often belong on the floor (hello public transportation), and that’s ok. You likely have at least one arm, hopefully with a functioning hand to hold onto it. You want to look cool with your new amazingly comfortable style, not like a noob, riiiiiiiiight? 😉

Rolling backpack has actually been banned in my home town because they are found to be worse than normal backpacks for kids. They rolling parts make the whole backpack heavier which is worse for your back, people got sick of changing between backpack and rolling mode so they just use it as a normal backpack anyways, it’s a huge tripping hazard in school, you can’t use it in places with lots of stairs (and schools in my home town have lots of stairs), they are bulky and dangerous on school buses and public transport, and children strain their arms and wrist because they flip over so easily while you are pulling them behind you. What school should do is let kids use ebooks instead of heavy physical text books and provide them with a locker. That’s how you actually save their backs.

@@WeiYinChan I agree with the last part. Though, from my memory the only problem rolling bags have is the noise they are making. Every kid at my school had rolling bags and it was absolutely never an issue, especially not for the weight. But we didn't have stairs so I can't say, for sure stairs would bring complications, or maybe they should just install ramps on the stairs for the bags. With nowadays rolling bags/suitcase, the noise problem could be resolved and kids wouldn't have to make it roll behind them but simply next to them thanks to the new wheels we commonly have now.

I had scoliosis that wasn't caught until I was an adult and had an MRI for something else. Now you've made me wonder if it didn't fly under the radar--maybe I developed it around high school from all those dang books. And I didn't know a thing about safe lifting or how to properly fit a backpack (too low and it'll mess your back up, etc). I had to cart multiple textbooks across the whole campus in high school and college (though I got a few digitally in college, that was nice). I've never had to carry a load so heavy or so far in the "real world," so why are we making kids do this while their spines are still growing?

I switched to backpacks since i cant find bigger ones that are good and good looking anymore.

I had a big bag in high school for 2 years until I started to have back pain. I switched to a backpack real quick. And now I still have one! I love having my hands free

Used to work at Canary Wharf - the vast majority of people use a backpack. Not even a work one, but those brands that cater to mountaineers. They’ve got the lightest bags with back support, shoulder cushion and sturdy construction. Waterproof too. Just perfect.

Sooo true. I had friends in college and grad school use work purses and every time, within a few months, they'd return to using backpack style bags due to shoulder and back pain. Same thing with heels. Folks would start a new semester or work experience in cute "work heels" and QUICKLY switch to flats or loafers.

Agreed on the work heels. Basically unless I'm going to a formal business meeting/conference I never wear work heels anymore. I wore black ankle boots all winter and those are good enough for the typical work day, otherwise I even wore sneakers esp during the commute. It's lucky my office allows for casual wear depending on what you're doing (if you don't have any formal meetings it's fine to wear a t-shirt and jeans)

The counter argument is when you live in a hot country. In Japan for example, Tote bags and single shoulder bags are very popular since it can get so hot during the summer and you can avoid getting a back full of sweat from backpacks.

You can get backpacks that provide plenty of ventilation over your back. Also a sweaty back will dry, shoulder pain is for life.

@@DavidCruickshankIn an area that gets above 75+ humidity no amount of ventilation will keep your back from turning into a steam room. If shoulder pain is a concern one should carry lighter or opt for a rolling case.

My mom got my this one over the shoulder bag and, soon afterwards, I was suffering from major pain on my opposite shoulder. I stacked to backpacks because I couldn't deal with the constant pain. Please folks, wear 2 strap backpacks. Shoulder pain is no joke.

Yeah I’m not wearing a backpack onto SF public transport, that’s a great way to get pickpocketed especially the outer pockets. Either be prepared to carry it in front of you or I prefer a bag that I can see more easily

Backpacks are the best honestly. I love the mini back packs and the medium sized ones. I have a collection of them and the best thing is it doesn't get on your way, it's cute and best of all, you can fit more stuff in there than a handback or other bags.

Yes 100%. There are so many oversized purses for laptops. I understand it looks better but it is not practical for every day. I hope that working adult backpacks get less stigmatized.

Fr. I was the type of kid in school wearing the same backpack til the end because of no money, and "I don't need fancy bags for school to study 🙄", total pain, I know. Then finally at 21 got over myself and got myself handbags for daily use. And I love them! There's nothing wrong with them! But even the little tiny cross body bags that can fit like 1 paperback and 1 phone get heavy on your shoulders over time, especially if it's always the same shoulder. I cannot imagine holding my LAPTOP on one shoulder!!! For work, I got myself an "adult bag" backpack. Very happy with it 5 years later and don't regret it one bit.

I currently go to college and use a bag similar to this. I just carry mine by hand. It does make my arm hurt after a while, but I’ve gotten use to it. I suggest carrying it by hand if you don’t want to use a backpack

Dude, the backpack diaper bags are where it’s at. They’re heavy, they function as a purse if you’re the primary parent, and you have several books in there at all times in case the groin goblins are playing independently at the park and you can squeeze in a chapter. Pro tip, if you read standing with a baby carrier everybody’s happy

I preach if you have to get a bag, make sure it is made of lightest version possible and able to put it on both shoulders. Those expensive brands made of heavy metal and heavy leather for ego trip - and dying from back pain, complete shut down of chakras flow, accumulating blockages and having disabled body in 60’s cutting hair short bc you can not brush it anymore… Canvas, ladies. 2 canvas bags for shopping to carry weight evenly. Canvas bag pack for beach, bumbag - of course canvas for walk on the beach - equal distribution of weight again. And night in town - dress with deep pockets with only necessities. And if you really need a clutch or handbag with that, have a man to carry it for you.

I never did the gym bag to work thing either. I don’t have to think about the backpack, and it just made sense that balancing the weight evenly would be better long term

My everyday bag is a backpack because the shoulder pain I used to get from carrying a bag on one shoulder became too much. It’s brown leather and I’ve used it for years, it’s pretty smart so I can use it for work or out and about on days off. Had it for years, and when it finally falls apart I’ll buy another backpack.
