The best backpacks to get you back to work in style

The best backpacks to get you back to work in style

From Horizn Studios to Emigré

Sure, backpacks might take you back to your school days, and might not instantly instil ideas of looking your coolest, but the thing that's so great about them is that when you're using a backpack, you’re hands-free, with the weight of your belongings evenly rested on your shoulders. Which means, for anyone on the go, only good things.

Whether you’re hiking in the Pennines, doing the Sunday food haul or commuting to work, a decent backpack is of great use. And they're not just for kids. Backpacks have earned their place in fashion, and their once-not-so-cool reputation is a thing of the past.

And so, we've scoured the Internet to find some of the best backpacks for men right now, from Horizn Studios to Emigré.
