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 was the first everyday bag thatā€™s clever enough to replace two.

While Knack today is more than just backpacks, each of our productsā€™ innovative designs and thoughtful features continues to help you effortlessly carry everything you need, while keeping you organized and hands-free at the same time. Experience the difference that Knack makes in every journey.

Testimonials

Amazing Product and Company. I have tried a lot of backpacks designed for travel and the Knack is by far the best. It was the first bag Iā€™ve used that is equally good for both traveling and everyday use. For daily use, the large Knack Pack neatly organizes all my essentials for the office and gym without being too big and bulky. I frequently take business trips that have me on the road 2-3 days, and the Knackā€™s expandability allows me to pack all my travel accessories while keeping all my same work stuff in its everyday place. It totally has eliminated the need for a carry-on bag/suitcase #OneBagLife

Finally traveled the first time with this bag so I thought I'd leave a review. Some highlights from other reviews to note is that the water bottle pocket isn't too useful if your bag is full because it competes with space in the bag. I'd also prefer if the front pocket opened more, it's easy to lose little things down towards the bottom if you don't put them in one of the interior pockets...The bag really works for anything from a weekend (unexpended, no packing cubes) to a week or possibly more using the packing cubes and the bag expansion.

S.S.

From working as a traveling MA, to taking weekend trips across the country, to traveling overseas, to now medical school, this backpack has consistently been amazing. I have so many positive things to say, but to just pick a few, the expandable compartment is so useful when I need it and so easy to forget when I don't, the exterior and interior have held up far better than any backpack I've ever owned, and the layout of all the pockets is so well designed that I can't remember the last time I had to dig around looking for something at the bottom of the bag, especially with small things which fit perfectly into the many small pockets near the top of the compartments.

Overall, for anyone who can stomach the cost and finds themselves relatively on-the-go, I highly recommend giving this bag a try. I'm really glad I did.

Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Backpacks

What makes a great travel backpack for weekend trips and everyday use?

There are a lot of things that go into making a ā€œgreat travel backpack.ā€ We find that the best travel backpack works as hard as you do. Whether you're commuting to work or catching a flight for a weekend getaway, look for comfortable straps with padded shoulder straps and a sternum strap that keep you hands-free throughout your day. Along with comfort, organization is key. With multiple compartments, mesh pockets, and a designated hidden water bottle pocket all of your items stay organized no matter where youā€™re headed, while the padded laptop sleeve protects your tech. Finally, an extra trolley sleeve lets you breeze through airports by sliding over your luggage handle. The perfect travel backpack adapts to your life, not the other way around.

What size backpack is TSA compliant?

The general rule of thumb is that TSA carry-on bags should be within the following dimensions: 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 22 cm). Knack Packs were designed to be carry-bags that meet these requirements.

How is a travel backpack different from regular laptop bags?

Traditional laptop bags get you to the office. A versatile laptop backpack gets you everywhere else too. The difference? Spacious compartments that expand for packing weekend essentials, adjustable straps and a waist belt for comfortable all-day carry, and easy access to your main compartment when you're on the move. Instead of juggling small bags for different purposes, one well-designed travel bag handles your everyday backpack needs and your next trip.

What features matter most in an everyday backpack that travels well?

his depends on the person, but we find that the perfect backpack balances style with smart functionality. A padded laptop sleeve keeps your tech safe during your commute and in transit. Hidden pockets and main compartment access via secure zippers mean you can grab what you need without unpacking everything. Comfortable straps with proper padding make carrying your travel gear effortless whether you're walking to a meeting or exploring a new city. Look for spacious compartments that give you flexibility because the best backpack is the one that works for both Tuesday and takeoff.
