We are always in need of space especially when we are travelling. Expandable backpacks have become increasingly popular to satisfy our need for more space or efficient use of space when we are traveling.

I have listed here for you the best expandable backpacks and their feature.

We will explore all the different ways backpack companies are expanding the space in our backpacks and utilising the extra space in different ways.

MEDIUM EXPANDABLE KNACK PACK

The Expandable Knack Pack is one of the most popular expandible backpacks out there. It’s great for your day to day activities whether its going to work, school or a just a day trip with family or friend. 

Not only is it great for every day use but it also doubles as an excellent travel backpack, when you expand the hidden suitcase compartment to its full capacity. 

It can fit 2-3 days worth of clothes for day trips. Its perfect for people who are on the go and need versatility in they’re Backpack.

It has lots of other interesting feature such as easy access padded side zip compartment that can fit a 15” laptop, as well as a side water bottle pocket that you can zip away I find it very convenient and hides the bottle away.

The backpack is also water resistant protecting your belongings in the rain.

Over all this backpack provides many more very useful pockets and compartments and if you need versatility and adaptability from your backpack this year this is the bag for you.

SEA TO SKY PACKABLE BACKPACK

The Sea to Sky Packable backpack is one of the more interesting backpacks on this list. If you like to travel, engage in outdoor activity or simply enjoy a day trip this backpack is perfect.

The most interesting aspect of this bag is that it is packable. You can pack this whole bag in another backpack or in your luggage and it will hardly take up any space.

Not only can you fold the backpack into itself it’s also very light weight only weighing at 5.5 oz, so it wont add much weight when checking in at the airport.

The backpack is also 100% waterproof and its made from Cordura making it very durable and long lasting.

SETOUT DIVIDE BACKPACK

The Tortuga Set out Divide is the new smaller version of the Tortuga Set out.

After many people fell in love with the Tortuga set out Backpack there was a craving for the same bag just a bit smaller because the Set out is huge! So the Tortuga Set out Divide was born a smaller version that has the capability to expand and still give you ample space.

The backpack expands from 26L to 34L. It’s perfect for light traveling and day trips especially with the very useful removable hips straps that fits all your quick access items.

It’s made from durable water resistant material with YKK lockable zippers. I love this backpack! if you do a lot of short trips from just a weekend to a week this is the backpack for you.

TIGERNU EXPANDABLE

The Tigernu Expandable backpack is the perfect bag for short trips and is especially great for commuters and students, who need to fit in all the items they need for work or school.

I think we’ve all been in the situation where we need that extra bit of space for your lunch box or those extra couple of books that you only need for a day or two.

No need to worry because the Tigernu backpack expands from 20L to 39L almost doubling the capacity.

It has an external USB charging connections so you don’t need rummage around when you need to charge you devices.

I really like the anti theft features such as their patented double layer four tooth anti theft zipper, the hidden safety pockets, and let’s not forget the combination lock that come with the backpack Its really nice to have that peace of mind to know it’s not that easy to get into the backpack.

The value for money is great as well the most reasonable out of the bunch.

XH HARDSHELL CAMERA BACKPACK

The XH hardshell camera backpack is a great backpack for all you creatives and photographers.

It’s the worlds first rolltop hardshell camera backpack, giving you the flexibility and the expandable space of a rolltop backpack and the protection of a hardshell backpack a great combination I must say.

Its built and designed for indoor and outdoor photography. It also has triple layer lining with a shockproof protective padding keeping your delicate camera equipment safe and dry. 

It is also dust proof, weather proof and scratch proof with a rain cover that comes with the backpack.

ESPECIAL MEDIO CYCLING LAPTOP BACKPACK

The Medio Backpack by Timbuk2 is one of the best cycling backpacks around.

My favourite feature is the expandable upper section made for your cycling helmet. Cycling helmets are bulky and hard to store and if you put it in your normal backpack it will just end up fitting in awkwardly or takes up all the space in your backpack.

This is an excellent solution and when you’re not cycling you can close up the expandable section and you have a great everyday backpack.

Another great feature is the incognito reflective panelling  so at night you’re visible and in the day it looks like a normal backpack.

It also has two water bottle pockets on each side, one of them being a U lock holder adding to its versatility. This is an excellent backpack for all you cyclists out there.
