Usually the choice here is a small suitcase, but this has the disadvantage that I don&#8217;t have a backpack at my destination. However, my standard everyday backpack is too small for luggage over several days.<\/p>\n<p>On Twitter, I have seen numerous advertisements for hip travel backpacks. Including nice videos of what all fits in them. The cost was usually around 100 &#8211; 150 euros. So I went to Amazon and typed in travel backpack. Here, too, there are lots of suitable offers, but I ended up with the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48471qW\">Amazon Basics model<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of content<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/en\/54523\/amazon-basics-hand-luggage-travel-backpack\/#The_travel_backpack_from_Amazon\" >The travel backpack from Amazon<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/en\/54523\/amazon-basics-hand-luggage-travel-backpack\/#Use_on_the_road\" >Use on the road<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/en\/54523\/amazon-basics-hand-luggage-travel-backpack\/#Cipway_compression_packing_cube_set\" >Cipway compression packing cube set<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/en\/54523\/amazon-basics-hand-luggage-travel-backpack\/#More_pictures\" >More pictures<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_travel_backpack_from_Amazon\"><\/span>The travel backpack from Amazon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With hip backpacks, you&#8217;re likely to pay a lot for advertising and marketing. The Amazon Basics backpack costs just under 40-50 euros, depending on when you look in. The backpack is available in different colours.

It can be used as a bag or a backpack. The back straps also simply disappear into a compartment. I can&#8217;t complain about the workmanship. Everything is of high quality and seems stable.<\/p>\n<p>I like the concept as well, there are different compartments for clothes in the main part. A laptop compartment. Small items can be stored in various compartments at the front. For my 5-day tour, I had the usual clothes with me: pants, T-shirts, soft-shell jacket, small toiletry bag, socks and jumper. Plus laptop, charger, charging cable, mouse, powerbank. Everything fit in well. The backpack can be expanded via a zip.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B01J24H87C\" data-aawp-product-id=\"110238\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"ekiwide0b-21\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Amazon Basics 40L Reiserucksack Handgep\u00e4ck-Kabinentasche  51x38x20cm  Gepolsterte Tr\u00e4ger 17  Laptop-Fach Organisierte Taschen - Marineblau\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B01J24H87C?tag=ekiwide0b-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Amazon Basics 40L Reiserucksack...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41J5tqbeu5L._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Basics 40L Reiserucksack...\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B01J24H87C?tag=ekiwide0b-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Amazon Basics 40L Reiserucksack...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Amazon Basics 40L Reiserucksack...        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>GER\u00c4UMIGER UND KOMPAKTER RUCKSACK: 40 Liter gut verteilter Platz f\u00fcr Schuhe, Laptop bis...<\/li><li>ABMESSUNGEN: Mit den Ma\u00dfen 51 x 38 x 20 cm bietet dieser Rucksack deutlich mehr Platz als die...<\/li><li>VERZICHTEN SIE AUF DEN TROLLEY, REISEN SIE LEICHT: Keine R\u00e4der, die \u00fcber Gehwege oder Treppen...<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"aawp-product__price aawp-product__price--current\">31,49 EUR<\/span>\n            \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/prime\/?tag=ekiwide0b-21\" title=\"Amazon Prime\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"aawp-check-prime\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ekiwi-blog.de\/wp-content\/plugins\/aawp\/assets\/img\/icon-check-prime.svg\" height=\"16\" width=\"55\" alt=\"Amazon Prime\" \/><\/a>        <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B01J24H87C?tag=ekiwide0b-21&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Buy on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Buy on Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_on_the_road\"><\/span>Use on the road<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the end, I managed to accumulate a weight of just under 8 kg.

Yes, most of the time I wanted to check if XYZ was packed after packing, so I pulled everything out again and created a mess.
