How Big Should Your University Backpack Be?

We recommend a minimum size of 11 litres. This volume is enough for a few books as well as a laptop, lunch box, water bottle, and other smaller essentials. Our collections Bergen and Aalborg fall into this category. Due to its rectangular shape, your lunch box will find an ideal spot in our Bergen model. You can stow it at the bottom of the backpack, stack your other items on top, and keep everything organized. If you need more than just the university basics, the Lund Pro (expandable from 21 to 26 litres) or the Helsinki (26 litres) could be your perfect match for university life.
