Level Up’s Backpack, $79
This lightweight backpack holds its
shape. Two paddles fit into the easy-
to-access paddle pocket located on
the back of the bag. There are lots of
pockets to keep your stuff organized—
five convenient padded zip pockets
on the exterior of the bag. The lower
front access shoe compartment
is handy. It feeds into the main
compartment but keeps your
shoes separate from everything
else. There’s a top handle and the
straps are padded and adjustable.
