Whether you are loading up textbooks, packing for a weekend flight, or strapping in for a powder day, your backpack is your mobile basecamp. At The Drop, our Backpacks collection spans the entire spectrum of everyday carry and technical mountain gear, ensuring your essentials stay secure, organized, and protected.
The Daily Grind: School & Commuter Bags
For the campus or the daily commute, organization is everything. We stock a huge variety of everyday backpacks anchored by the iconic heritage styling of Herschel Supply Co. alongside core skate brands like Vans and Volcom. Built with heavy-duty canvas, weather-resistant coatings, and reinforced stitching, these bags feature dedicated, fleece-lined laptop sleeves, internal organizers, and external skate straps so you can easily haul your board to class or the shop.
Built for Travel: Weekenders & Carry-Ons
When you are living out of a bag, comfort and accessibility are key. Our travel-focused backpacks offer massive, clamshell-opening main compartments, TSA-friendly laptop access, and ergonomic, breathable back panels. Brands like Herschel and Dakine excel here, providing the ultimate personal items for flights, allowing you to maximize your packing volume without checking a bag.
Technical Snow & Mountain Packs
When the pavement ends, our technical lineup takes over. Led by the legendary mountain engineering of Dakine (featuring iconic models like the Heli Pro and Mission packs), these bags are built specifically for the elements. Note: While we do not stock avalanche airbag systems, these packs are backcountry-ready. They feature vertical and horizontal snowboard/ski carry straps, hydration bladder sleeves, rescue whistle sternum straps, and dedicated pockets for your snow shovel and probe.
