Backpacks with skateboard holder

A backpack with a skateboard holder, also known as a board catcher, is ideal for skaters. With it, you can not only stow your essentials in the backpack but also transport your deck. A board catcher consists of two adjustable straps that are attached to the front of the backpack. Depending on the model, these are held together with a Velcro or a clip.

To attach your skateboard to the board catcher, open the Velcro or clip closure and place your board in the open straps with the grip tape facing the backpack. So that nothing slips, you close the lower strap under the rear truck and the upper strap under the front truck. Tighten well and you're good to go.

Backpack features: here's what you can look out for

To make sure it fits your everyday life perfectly, you should check the features of your new backpack before buying it and match them with your needs. Backpacks that are ideal for everyday use are also called daypacks. Of course, you can use any backpack for this purpose, but some models are better designed for it than others.

To reduce the strain on your back while carrying it, we recommend that you buy a backpack with padded straps and good back padding. Both the straps and the back padding are often made of breathable material. This allows air to circulate well in this area.

If you often travel with a laptop, a backpack with a laptop compartment is best. This is either separated from the main compartment by a partition or separately accessible through a side zipper. In any case, it is worth paying attention to a well-padded laptop compartment.

If you want even more stability and carrying comfort, a backpack with a chest strap or waist strap is a good choice. With the respective filter on our page, you will surely find the right model for you.

Some backpacks come with a water-repellent upper material to protect your belongings from rain. In the product description, you can find details about all the features and check how many compartments, bottle holders, tablet compartments, zippers, side pockets and adjustable straps your backpack of choice has.

The right size for your backpack

Before buying your new backpack, you should check what size it should be so that you can store everything you need for a skate session or everyday life. The size usually means the capacity or volume, which is given in liters. The fact is, the more stuff you want to transport, the larger the capacity of your backpack should be.

Backpacks with 10 – 20L capacity: ideal daypacks

Are you looking for a small, lightweight skater backpack that only needs to hold the essentials for your next skate session or everyday essentials? With a backpack that has a capacity of 10-20 liters you're on the right track.

A snack, water bottle and t-shirt will have space in it. If you also need to carry a camera or a laptop, a backpack with a capacity of more than 20 liters is more suitable.

Backpacks from 20L capacity: functional everyday companions

Backpacks with 30L volume & rolltops: more storage space for trips, etc.

Whether for a weekend trip or as hand luggage - traveling is fun with these backpacks. With a volume of over 30 liters, you can easily stow clothes for several days. Even your filmer cam or a second pair of shoes will fit inside these backpacks.

However, more weight means more load on your back. Therefore, most models have a chest strap, through which the weight is better distributed and at the same time provides more stability. With such a weekender backpack nothing stands in the way of a short vacation or skate trip.

Rolltop backpacks score points with a combination of functionality and a clean, urban design. Originally used by bicycle couriers, backpacks with roll-top closure can now be seen everywhere.

Functional, flexible, versatile and often water-repellent are just some of the features of these practical backpacks. The rolltop closure allows you to increase or decrease the volume. That is, the further down you roll the closure and fasten it with the clip, the more compact the backpack will be. Conversely, you get more storage space by extending the roll-top upwards.
