What a 48-hour backpack needs
- Capacity between 25 and 35 litres: below that, the change of clothes does not fit; above it, you leave the size of a work backpack.
- Expansion: a zip that adds depth to the backpack when you need more room. Three of the four models have it.
- Trolley attachment: a strap or a rear zipped pocket that slides over the suitcase handle.
- Travel compartment and garment straps: they keep your change of clothes in place on the way. For a true garment holder, look at the trolleys (see below).
- Laptop sleeve: all four have a sleeve for laptops up to 15.6".

When to choose another model
- If you must carry a suit on a hanger: backpacks do not have a garment holder. The Leather Cabin Trolley with 15.6" Laptop Sleeve (Blue Square) has a detachable garment holder, 40.5 L, a sleeve for laptops up to 15.6" and a removable TSA lock; it weighs 3.441 kg empty.
- If you fly with an airline with strict small-bag rules and want the backpack under the seat: 27 to 34 litres can exceed the small-bag limits. Read the included-baggage guide or start from the under-seat backpacks and compare the external size on the product page.
- If you want a shoe compartment: none of the four has one; the models with a shoe compartment are in the office-to-gym guide.
- If the trip is longer: above 35 litres look at the travel backpacks or a cabin trolley.
