Everest

Everest has been producing affordable everyday bags since 1982. All of the products are straightforward and dependable, and there are a variety of backpacks to choose from. They start with the Basic Backpack, a mid-sized option with a roomy main compartment and a zipped front pocket, and progress to more elaborate designs with features like mesh water bottle pockets and a durable suede bottom.

The Basic Backpack often retails for about $20, which is less than a tenth of the price of packs of similar size sold by the more costly brands on our list. However, prices vary depending on the retailer (Everest is a wholesaler and does not sell directly to consumers). Options come in a wide variety of vivid hues, and they're all made of durable 600-denier polyester. Also available are basic backpacks with various patterns.
