Kat’s one of those people I turn to for jaw-dropping travel capsule wardrobes (truly a stylish travel aficionado). But because she actually knows a thing or two about getting to Stockholm, Iceland, Thailand, etc without losing her mind (or her luggage), I’m all ears when she talks travel gear. And as a committed backpack girl myself, her latest video comparing Béis and Calpak backpacks felt basically made for me (thank you, Kat).

First contender: Calpak Terra 26L Laptop Duffel Backpack. Kat was first inspired to try this option out because Laura swears by it (she has a whole video dedicated to this bag and her other carry-on go-tos, if you’re curious). It fits a 17 inch laptop and has a ton of compartments if you’re as into organizing your stuffs as we are. 

Second contender: Béis Pro Rolling Backpack. Naturally, the first thing I noticed was the awesome color, haha (I can’t help myself). BUT then, the structure and the option to turn it into a rolling suitcase really sold me. It’s less malleable than the Calpak, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

These are just a few of the details, so if you’re looking for the full breakdown before deciding, definitely check out Kat’s video.
