What’s so special about Roll Top Backpacks?

Roll Top Backpacks (or Rucksacks) have gained popularity because they’re roomy, simple, easy to open/close and are often water resistant. So, whether you’re an adventurer going on a hike or heading off for a weekend away with the lads, you are certain to reap the benefits of such a stylish, yet simple, rucksack.

Selecting Roll Top Backpacks

How do you choose the best Rolltop Backpack for you? Well, it really depends on what you are going to use it for and when you are going to use it. Roll Top Backpacks provide a wide range of advantages over regular rucksacks. The expanding capacity of Roll Tops allows you to extend the length of the bag to fit in larger items. The capacity of most Roll Top Backpacks actually ranges from 20 to 40 litres.

Of course, we all want spacious and roomy bags but the bigger the capacity, the heavier it will be to carry. This is the reason why most Roll Top Backpacks are designed with padded shoulder straps to provide more comfort and ergonomic support. Being water resistant is another big selling factor. Roll Top Rucksacks are often made from nylon, canvas or polyester material, including some even made from recycled plastic containers (see below!). Our three picks for the best men’s black Roll Top Backpacks will hopefully make the choosing all so much easier…

Billy A. is the co-creator of Travel Gentlemen and the voice behind many of our travel guides and city recommendations. Originally from Manila and now based in Valencia, Billy focuses on local food spots, stylish bars, neighbourhood walk-throughs, and places that feel authentic rather than tourist-heavy. He curates the men’s travel accessories featured across Travel Gentlemen, blending design sense with practical travel habits built up over two decades in London. Billy’s guides highlight where to eat, where to stay, and how to discover the best parts of a city with ease and confidence. His favourite city to travel to is New York, iconic while being edgy and creative in the right neighbourhoods. For beaches, nothing beats Palawan with its turquoise water, fine white sand, and breathtaking island scenery. Billy’s favourite food is Vietnamese — fresh, flavourful, and the perfect balance of herbs, spice, and comfort, especially a spring roll wrapped in fresh lettuce and dipped in nuoc cham. His go-to drink is a Brockmans Gin and Tonic, smooth and berry infused, and always the first thing he orders when exploring a new bar, if it’s available at all as it’s still somewhat undiscovered. Billy’s best travel tip is simple: stay, eat, and enjoy what the locals do, as it’s the easiest way to understand any city. His travel style tip is to pack neutral basics you can mix and match, and for autumn or winter city trips he swears by wearing all black.
