User is seeking a backpack that can serve dual purposes: carrying a laptop and textbooks for college and also functioning well for day hikes. A hybrid design that includes a padded laptop sleeve and comfortable straps would meet this need.
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a backpack that can pull double duty. I need something I can use to carry my laptop and textbooks around campus, but also use for day hikes on the weekends. My main problem is that most college bags have terrible straps with no support and most hiking bags don't have a padded laptop sleeve. Has anyone found a great hybrid pack in 2026 that works well for both? Looking for something around 25-35L with comfortable straps, a water bottle pocket and a safe place to keep a 15-inch laptop. Thanks for the help
