PS editor Angela Elias hadn't owned a backpack since college, but when she started looking for a hands-free bag that could make excursions with her kid — or toting around a laptop — easier, she went with The Backpack by Béis ($88). Having already been a big fan of the brand's carry-on roller suitcase, it was no surprise that she ended up liking the backpack, too. Angela says the bag is like a mini carry-on suitcase you can wear on your back, thanks to the bag's many thoughtful compartments. It features five different compartments, including a padded sleeve that protects delicate tech and a large compartment with compression straps that's perfect for packing clothes. Plus, the bag has a trolley sleeve that you can slip onto a suitcase. For more on why Béis's backpack has become Angela's go-to, read her full review — and shop the backpack ahead. |
