Frequently Asked Questions: Backpacks

How do I choose the right size and style of backpack or duffel bag for my needs?

With so many luggage sets available, choosing one may seem daunting at first. However, once you narrow down your intended use, you’ll find that the choice becomes much simpler.

For those traveling light, bringing a simple travel duffel bag or carry-on luggage eliminates the risk and expense of checking larger luggage on flights. Add a comfortable backpack or a tote and travel accessories for your laptop and work essentials, and you’ll have everything you need within arm’s reach for train rides, road trips, cruises, and air travel.

When searching for backpacks or bookbags, keep in mind whether you need a new cute backpack to carry school supplies or a durable and roomy sports bag to haul your gear from game to game. Also, consider whether you value functional pockets and organization.

When buying for children, be sure to get them the right size backpack to prevent discomfort. Sam’s Club offers a selection of luggage for kids that looks great and can hold up for daily use.

Of course, if you prefer to pack more thoroughly to “always be prepared,” Sam’s Club offers a range of high-quality luggage sets for quality and well-known luggage brands. The benefit of a complete luggage set is that you don’t need to bring the entire kit every time you travel; you can easily use the carry-on luggage for a quick trip.

Can you provide information on the durability and materials used for the backpacks and duffel bags?

Although every backpack and duffel bag will use different materials, the one thing they all have in common is durability.

Exterior surfaces typically use polyester or nylon, which are naturally water-repellent and abrasion-resistant. High-wear surfaces and pack bottoms are often double-layered, reinforced, or padded to reduce wear and keep contents safe.

You’ll notice that most backpacks and travel duffel bags for laptops or tablets will have extra padding and specific compartments to keep your electronics safe from bumps and prevent scuffs.

Are there organization features or compartments available in school backpacks?

Sam’s Club offers bookbags for every type of student. While some bags feature a simple, tried-and-true main compartment with a single exterior zipper pocket, other models include more complex organization features like laptop sleeves, pen organizers, accessory pockets, RFID pockets, and more.

Do you carry backpacks that are suitable for outdoor activities or sports?

Yes! Sam’s Club offers outdoor-specific backpacks and duffels to help you haul your outdoor gear to the next adventure. These bags can often handle heavier loads and have reinforced handles.
