A black backpack goes with almost any clothing style and suits a wide range of situations. Even so, many models appear more suitable at first glance than they actually are in practice. A bag may look spacious but have few useful compartments. A lightweight model may be comfortable to carry but offer inadequate laptop protection. And a leather backpack requires different care from a sporty polyester backpack.
With this buying guide, you can compare important specifications, recognise common pitfalls and make a more informed choice between a black women’s backpack, black men’s backpack, laptop backpack, travel backpack or hiking backpack.
Black leather, gold-coloured details or a minimalist design may look appealing, but they reveal little about the practical layout. Always check:
A backpack for everyday use generally benefits more from a logical layout than from a striking design.
A 20-litre backpack is not automatically suitable for every laptop or set of sportswear. The shape of the bag determines how much you can actually carry. A slim model may be efficient for commuting, while a wider bag is more convenient for books or a coat.
As well as the capacity in litres, check the dimensions in centimetres. For example, the PUMA Phase Backpack II has a capacity of approximately 20 litres and measures 44 × 30 × 14 cm. The PUMA Phase Backpack Black offers approximately 22 litres with a depth of 14 cm. The difference may seem small, but it can be noticeable when you carry extra items every day.
“Comfortable straps” is not a measurable standard. Instead, look at specific features such as:
For trail running or cycling, an ordinary school backpack is often less suitable because the bag may shift while you are moving. A trail-running backpack generally has a closer fit and additional attachment points.
Choose the size based on what you carry every day:
The PUMA Academy Backpack Black has a capacity of approximately 24 litres and measures 45 × 30 × 18 cm. This provides more space than a compact laptop backpack while remaining manageable for everyday use.
For a hiking backpack or trail-running backpack, a smaller capacity is often sufficient. The Salomon Cross 12 has a capacity of 12 litres, a lightweight design and a system that, according to the product description, is suitable for a 1.5-litre hydration system. Bear in mind that water bottles are not included.
A leather backpack has a different look and requires different care from a model made of synthetic material.
Also check the lining and zips. A spacious bag without a secure fastening may be less practical on the go than a smaller model with well-organised compartments.
If you carry a laptop or tablet every day, do not rely solely on “laptop backpack” in the title. Check the maximum device size, the position of the compartment and the padding around it.
According to the product details, the PUMA Academy Backpack is suitable for devices up to a maximum of 18.7 inches and has a padded inner compartment. The Michael Kors Jaycee Large has a dedicated tech compartment. The Michael Kors Sheila Medium features an internal tablet pocket. Always check the exact dimensions of your device before buying, including its protective case.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
For commuting, school and shopping, 18 to 24 litres is often a sensible choice. This gives you room for a laptop, lunch, bottle and a few personal items. If you also carry clothing or sports equipment, it is better to consider a larger model.
Use a soft, dry cloth and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. Store a leather backpack somewhere dry, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Do not use cleaning products unless they are specifically suitable for the type of leather in question.
That depends on the material and fastening. Polyester, polyamide and PU-coated fabrics can be practical for everyday use, but water resistance is not automatically the same as waterproofing. Check the product description and, in heavy rain, consider using a separate rain cover.
