Picking the Right High Quality Work Backpack as a Petite Woman
I am currently looking for a new work backpack. I am currently using an old JanSport that suits my purposes okay, but it starting to fall apart. My partner offered me his spare work backpack, but it is so large on me I look like a turtle (in my personal opinion). I would like something that no only looks professional, but is made to last, sustainability and quality are big factors I look at when purchasing anything as I continue to practice being a conscious consumer. I have looked through this subreddit a bit, and there seem to be a lot of highly praised brands/bags; but I'm having trouble figuring out which one would serve me best. For reference I am 5'1 125lbs.
Criteria:
- at least 3 compartments
- is under $300
- a laptop sleeve that fits a 14-15 inch laptop
- (preferably) has at least one exterior water bottle holder
Backpacks I am considering:
