Best Business Travel Backpacks

Each Knack travel backpack has a spacious dedicated compartment for everyday items, tech accessories, and traveling essentials. But what really makes these travel business backpacks fundamentally different is our patented suitcase compartment designed to expand when you need it and zip away when you don’t. With our business backpack design, travel becomes effortless because of the thoughtful functionality we’ve put into each backpack. With dedicated pockets for laptops and everyday work essentials, these work backpacks are an all in one solution for your business travel needs. For frequent flyers who are on the go for business, you want easy access to your bag’s main compartment for easy packing and unpacking. The functionality of our suitcase compartment with an expandable design does just that: it makes packing and unpacking for business travelers seamless. Trolley sleeves, TSA locking zippers, and carry-on compliance are just a few additional features that put Knack’s business travel bags at the top of their class. Whether you're heading out for a quick business trip or just commuting to the office, your Knack Pack pulls double duty as the perfect work backpack and luggage, and keeps you moving with ease and confidence.

About Knack

Finally, say goodbye to the hassle of juggling multiple bags! Knack sprang from a simple observation that too many people were carrying too many bags at the same time, leading to an epidemic of overloaded shoulders and cluttered lives.

We pulled together a passionate group of frequent travelers and bag enthusiasts (from Tumi, Coach, North Face, Samsonite, and eBags) and created a revolutionary expandable backpack that transitions as easily from work to working out as it does from a client meeting to a weekend with friends. We called this backpack a Knack Pack and it’s the first everyday bag that’s clever enough to replace two.

Today, our products’ innovative designs and thoughtful features let you effortlessly carry everything you need, while keeping you organized and hands-free at the same time. Embrace the freedom of One Bag Life and experience the difference that Knack makes every day.

Business Travel Backpacks FAQs

How does the Knack travel backpack compare to other brands?

The Knack travel backpack is the best business backpack for frequent travelers and daily commutes. With padded shoulder straps, a dedicated laptop compartment, spacious main compartment, and zippered pockets, it keeps work essentials, tablet, phone, and accessories organized and easy to access. Its lightweight material and style make it perfect as a personal item for airport travel, school, or life on the go. One single bag holds plenty of stuff, from shoes to a briefcase or messenger bag, so you can travel smart without compromise.
Does the Knack Pack fit under airplane seats and in overhead bins if I have to go on a business trip?

Yes! We specifically designed the Knack Pack to meet airline carry-on requirements because nobody has time for checked bag fees or the anxiety of wondering if your presentation materials will make it to your destination. It slides smoothly under most airplane seats (perfect for those long flights when you need your laptop or snacks), and fits comfortably in overhead bins without that awkward wrestling match everyone's watching. You know that relieved feeling when your travel bag actually fits? That's what we're going for every single time.
Is the Knack Pack durable and professional-looking enough for business settings?

Absolutely. We get that you need something that can handle the wear and tear of constant travel while still looking polished enough for client meetings and boardroom presentations. Our premium fabrics and clean, sophisticated design mean you can confidently carry it from the airport to the conference room without switching bags. It’s the best business backpack for professionals who want durability and style in one daily carry. This travel pack is built tough enough to survive baggage handlers and busy terminals, but refined enough that it actually elevates your professional image instead of detracting from it.
Are Knack Bags comfortable and practical enough to carry around at conferences and for extended business travel days?

Trust us, we've been there – we know how heavy your bag can get during those all-day conferences where you're walking miles between sessions, carrying everything you might possibly need. Each Knack has ergonomic, padded shoulder straps and a comfort-cool memory foam back panel to keep you comfortable all day. The quick-access pockets mean you can grab your business cards, phone, or notebook without unpacking everything in front of customers and colleagues. After those marathon business trips, your Knack bag helps you come home feeling less wiped out—making it a little easier to switch into “you time”.

John S. • Series 2 Medium Expandable Knack Pack®

I am beyond impressed with this bag! Having owned many bags over the years, this one definitely stands out as the best. What truly sets it apart is the exceptional storage capacity—it’s perfect for both everyday carry and travel. The thoughtful design allows for efficient organization without compromising on style or comfort. The color and feel of the material are fantastic, and I love the durability it offers. It's refreshing to see a New England-based company creating bags tailored for busy leaders who need to pack heavy yet travel light. This bag has exceeded all my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

Gary M. • Series 1 Medium Expandable Knack Pack®

Very nice backpack that doubles as a weekend suitcase. Lightweight, roomy and expandable. It looks very sleek and quality and would work great for business travel or an everyday carry bag.

Ikie L. • Series 2 Medium Expandable Knack Pack®

I had specific needs when I was shopping for a new backpack: since I'd be carrying it to the office and on business trips, I didn't want it to look like I was heading out on a campaign trip. I wanted it to have enough space to carry my gym clothes or one change of clothes and toiletries for an international flight. I wanted to be able to easily reach small objects without having to completely remove the whole pack and put it down somewhere. I wanted it to be able to easily carry a water bottle securely. And as a short woman (5'0"), I wanted the bag to sit comfortably on my hips.

This bag hits all those marks and then some! In addition: the space for storing cords and chargers is a thing I didn't know I was looking for. The small top pocket for storing sunglasses is also perfect for storing my my ear buds.
