If you’re looking to buy a backpack for your year of traveling, your first port of call is likely to be a camping or outdoor store. These are dotted throughout the UK and they’re great for camping gear, but backpackers not so much. It’s always recommended that you buy backpacks online as there is such a huge range to choose between. Many online travel retailers exist and some will even ship the next day. We agree that a backpack should be something that you want to try on and make sure everything is okay, but if you take the time to do your research and check your sizes, you can buy the perfect backpack online without having to visit a store near you.
