The common backpack – originally created for books, clothing and general luggage – has been co-opted over the years into a carryall for any and all technology that people now need in their daily lives.

Notebooks, tablets, phones, chargers, battery banks and more are now awkwardly stuffed into these bags which were never designed for them leading to a bad experience for everyone involved at best, and damage to expensive electronics at work.

It’s this issue which was one of the sparks that helped start EVERKI back in 2015 as its founders hoped to get practical, stylish and well-made products to re-invent notebook bags, totes, wheeled luggage and, of course, the humble backpack.

So today let’s look at a wide range of backpacks that the company offers to see what is out there for you because EVERKI products are available in South Africa right now, along with the fantastic Limited Lifetime Warranty on sales.

EVERKI is serious about selling you products which are free from defects in terms of materials and workmanship, which is why the company is able to offer this to original owners.

While all the bags below each have their own features which make them unique, they share this promise of quality as well as other EVERKI staples such as the instantly-recognisable, high-visibility orange liner inside of the backpacks.

This liner is soft and supportive for your devices to keep them free from scuffs inside the backpacks, while also being super supportive and resistant to damage from the outside.

The bright colour also makes locating even the smallest items simple in dark conditions, which is a real lifesaver when you lose something important, especially if you’re hoping to buy one of the bigger backpacks to take absolutely everything with you.
