Baggage fees are is going up and cabin space is shrinking, which means travelers have become more and more suitcase-savvy. One-bag travel — a term popularized on Reddit that refers to streamlined packing — is a budget-friendly option to save money and headaches at the gate. Lululemon's new double-zip backpack is popular with shoppers for its travel-friendly design, which also works for back-to-school and commuting.
The double-zip backpack has a capacity of 22 liters, making it a solid choice for quick trips like weekenders and overnight trips (dimensions are 11.4″ x 5.5″ x 18.1″). There are multiple exterior zippered pockets for easy organization and the dual handle design makes the bag easy to carry. Additionally, the included sternum strap reduces shoulder strain when walking through city or airport terminals. The backpack also features a trolley strap for attaching it to luggage handles. Its exterior has two water bottle pockets that can accommodate 32-ounce bottles. If you're using the bag for work or school, the padded laptop sleeve fits a 16-inch laptop.
And while the backpack is packed with zippered pockets and smart storage options, it maintains a streamlined, minimalist look that most travel bags don't.
Key to the bag's appeal is its neutral aesthetic that doesn't look too much like a gym, travel or school backpack. This makes it a great choice to take anywhere, whether you're going back to school or traveling for work. The backpack is available in four neutral shades, including navy, green, black and a khaki color called “true linen”.
Lululemon's 22-liter backpack is also moderately priced—at $100, it's less expensive than comparable backpacks from travel and outdoor-focused brands. Budget-conscious travelers should also note that now is a great time to book travel — the period between Labor Day and the start of the holiday season can be more affordable, with airfares and accommodations to fall.
