The Best Commuter Backpack for Your Daily Life.

A sleek backpack has an equal place in the boardroom as it does in a café. Go for a backpack in black or navy that fits comfortably over your shoulders, regardless of whether you wear a suit or overalls.

Db backpacks are engineered for improved comfort with our signature Rib-Cage Construction ™. This makes them sturdy, streamlined companions that elevate your daily commute so you can focus on what actually matters. Whether you’re catching a train or cycling to university, a Db backpack gives you the freedom to move comfortably.

Which Features to Look For In a Commuter Backpack.

You want a commuter backpack that fits your lifestyle. This means that you want features that don't make your daily commute more complicated than it has to be. East-accessible pockets, internal organizing, or zipper fastenings are all great until they make it harder to access the things you need in a hurry. This is why we’ve summed up which features to look for when choosing the right backpack for you:  

  • External and internal pockets.    
  • Durable and lightweight fabric.  
  • Ergonomic shoulder straps and/or rib cage.   
  • Easy access and no unnecessary zippers, pockets, or straps.  
Should I Go for a Large or a Small Commuter Backpack?

Go for a size that fits your daily routine. Do you hop from the gym to the office and then straight to dinner? Go for a larger pack that fits extra clothing, a laptop, and other daily essentials. If you like to pack more compactly, choose a smaller backpack that compresses all your everyday uses. 

Smaller backpacks.

  • The Hugger Base Backpack: One-part backpack, another part messenger bag. Available in 15L.

What to Bring on Your Daily Commutes.

In many ways, a commuter backpack fits many of the same requirements as an everyday backpack. Depending on how long your commute is, how many stops you have on your way, and if you’re relying on public transportation or not, you bring different essentials with you.  

  • Laptop, charger, and any relevant electronics.  
  • Room for gym clothing or extra layers.  
  • Space for lunch tupperware, a water bottle, or snacks.
  • Essentials like wallet, keys, glasses, and an agenda or note book.  
Warranty & Repair.

While Db backpacks are built to last, manufacturing issues can happen – and if they do, you’re covered. Every backpack comes with a 2-year warranty, which includes repair or replacement for components such as zippers, buckles, handles, trims, and internal dividers. Your commuter backpack stays functional and ready, no matter what.

Your Questions Answered.

What is a commuter backpack? 

A commuter backpack is a daily carry bag that you bring to and from work or school. It fits all your daily essentials that you bring with you on your outings. It should fit comfortably on your body, work well for your means of transportation (cycle, metro, bus, car), and have practical features (ergonomic straps, waterproof fabric, pockets).

What to look for in a commuter backpack?

When choosing a commuter backpack you need to consider how it’s organized (internal and external pockets), the durability of the fabric (is it waterproof and/or made from sturdy material), the ergonomics of the backpack (comfortable shoulder straps, back panel, and chest straps), and the style (minimalist or sporty).

Are Db commuter backpacks waterproof? 

Db backpacks are not waterproof, but they are water resistant. That being said, all backpacks are coated with a Polyurethane layer which is waterproof. Therefore, Db backpacks keep showers at bay, but water can still find its water through seams and zippers if exposed to rain over a long time.

Any suggestions for practical, but stylish commuter backpacks?

The Db Essential Backpack is a minimalist’s dream with features like a roll-up top and water-resistant fabric. The compact size (12L) is great for daily commutes. Another great choice is the Db Hugger Base Backpack, which boasts the best features that you know from a backpack combined with messenger bag features. Finally, the classic Hugger Backpack is a Db staple, offering the best balance between practicality and style.
