Hi!
I am looking for an "all-rounder" backpack, I need it for when I travel for 3 days to some city, but also I don't want it to be "weird" to bring as a "daily" backpack when I have to bring more things with me. Also, I sweat a lot so I looked for "back mesh padding" to help with it, and I suffer from low back pain so I have to distribute the weight more on the upper part, so I looked for at least a chest strap. So, I found these 4 backpacks on amazon that look very interesting. I'm not an expert so I don't know if I need other features, also please don't suggest other backpacks other than these, thanks!

1: I really like the first. Has load lifters, that I think should help with my low back pain (but I'm not sure, what do you think?), has a separated bottom partition (it could be useful?), it has the hole for the hydration bladder (that I could also use for a powerbank), has nice back mesh padding (you can also see in the video). Also has a rain cover (I hope I will never need it, but..)

2: Is very similar to the first but without the separated bottom partition, I don't know if it can be useful or not

3: Is the biggest one. It seems to have a good back mesh padding (but it's hard to see from photo), headphone hole (that I could use for a powerbank), a pocket in the back (useful or uncomfortable?). It hasn't load lifters.

4: It has "different" back mesh padding, I don't know if this desing is better or not.

What do you think? Thanks!

Anytime you are looking at backpacks this cheap, reliability will vary. I would look at other options that are more well-known and reliable.

Those are cheap synthetic bags. You will not find a "buy it for life" bag at that price point.

With that price I dont think you can achieve a "built to last product" if its not vintage or used.

Agree. If something is truly built to last, it should be possible to find one in good condition secondhand.

I'm not the expert but in my experience a good waist belt takes a lot more strain off your lower back than shoulder and chest straps.

Thanks for the question and list. I was looking into the same type of bag.

I know you said not to suggest other brands but I also have a daily backpack. I have had amazing luck with Deuter. Mine has a mesh back and a frame that actually keeps it off my back. I bought their kid carrier when I had little ones and it’s been passed down the family. Currently on its 5th kid and it still looks brand new.

Both my swiss army and Samsonite backpacks have done well for this, if you're looking for brands.
