Volume/Capacity– This is one of the most important variables to consider when choosing a backpack. Designed for hiking and trekking and not for travel.
Laptop sleeve - A laptop sleeve is important for many travellers, not only for protection from impacts and liquid spills but also for organization, so make sure that the backpack you choose has one if you're taking a laptop. The sleeve will keep your laptop separated from the other items in the bag for easy access.
Compartments & Pockets -A backpack with multiple compartments and quick-access front pockets is useful for organizing your items but don't use the smaller, outer compartments for valuables if pickpocketing is a concern.
Elasticated external side pouches -These are designed for holding water bottles or water bladders. They're a useful feature to look out for as you'll often want to keep a water bottle outside your bag for easy access when out in hot weather or when doing a day hike.
