Leather Backpack

Essentially, personal item backpacks are similar to carry-on backpacks, just smaller. They’re small enough to be used as a personal item, which has to fit under the front seat in an airplane. Most personal item backpacks won’t be larger than 17-18 inches in length. They’re intended for traveling, as well as everyday use.

This means that they’re comfortable, spacious, and are built from durable materials. Some more expensive options from Osprey, Samsonite, or Eagle Creek will also be semi-waterproof and offer quite a few built-in pockets and compartments for organizing all the smaller items.
