Everyone at least once in their life has faced the need to carry loads over significant distances, and at this moment we understand that a backpack is one of the most practical inventions of mankind in the world of accessories.
Buy a rolltop backpack from an official dealer - Tourister Ukraine
There is no reliable information about who and when came up with fixing the load on the back with straps. But the first known analogue of a backpack dates back to the fifth or fourth millennium BC.
In the early 1990s, a couple of tourists stumbled upon the frozen remains of an ancient traveler in the Alps. The ice strangely preserved the personal belongings of the frozen traveller. Among them, a frame made of hazel was found, which served as a frame for fastening a shoulder bag sewn from animal skins.
Similar designs, by the way, have been found on different continents. It is amazing how ancient settlements, separated by incredible distances and even oceans at that time, without collusion and not suspecting the existence of each other, came up with the same devices. Some peoples used birch bark boxes instead of skins, perfect for collecting and transporting berries.
Soldiers quickly adopted the experience of their ancestors and found use for shoulder bags on long military campaigns. Thus, the predecessors of the army packs known to us today appeared.
With the development of the textile industry, lighter, moisture-resistant materials began to be used instead of animal skins and skins. The wooden frame was replaced by metal (currently aluminum or plastic). And the fastener created at the beginning of the twentieth century - «zipper» has found wide application in the production of backpacks, providing ease of use and increasing the useful volume of products.
The popularization of outdoor activities and a healthy lifestyle has led to the fact that backpacks have quickly burst into urban fashion, displacing familiar bags and business briefcases from store shelves. Designers of the world's leading brands began to draw inspiration from the manufacturers of cycling equipment, complementing modern models with laptop compartments and tablet pockets.
Pros and cons of a rolltop backpack.
If you haven't had experience using this model yet, let's figure out together what advantages it has:
- attractive appearance - everyone wants to look stylish and modern, but not everyone knows how to pair their wardrobe with accessories well. Rolltop – a real find for fashionistas, because it looks harmonious with almost any version of urban clothing and shoes;
- good water-resistance - rainwater is known to be able to penetrate the mesh of zipper teeth, negating the properties of most modern fabrics. But if the top of the backpack is twisted in a few turns, there is no problem with ensuring the dryness of things located inside the product;
- proper load distribution - like any backpack, the rolltop unloads the spine without creating uneven pressure on one of its sides;
- volume control - thanks to the flexibility of the design, you can increase or decrease the capacity of the product by reducing or adding the number of twists" top respectively;
- easy to use - a wide opening allows you to look at the entire contents of the backpack, which reduces the time to find the item you need;

- Versatility - depending on the design, coloring and prints on the fabric, the backpack can become part of both men's and women's everyday looks; o dimensions – most roll top models have the appropriate carry-on dimensions for even the most demanding airlines.
The disadvantages of rolltops include the following:
- minimum details - if you are a fan of bags with rich internal organization and many pockets/compartments, most likely you should take a closer look at the classic design backpacks;
- shape - this model looks nicewill rub off on the owners of the male type of the "rectangle" figure; or "inverted triangle", but at the same time on fragile female shoulders it may not look the best;
- lack of quick access - design features that save you from pickpockets operating in crowded places may not suit people who are used to spending a minimum of time accessing the necessary item from the "subsoil" backpack. By the way, taking into account the wishes of the end user, the company «Samsonite» adds a side zipper to most rolltops for quick access to the inner space of products.

This means that now is the time to go to the Tourister store in search of your perfect rolltop, which will emphasize your individuality and remind your surroundings that you – a man who keeps his finger on the pulse of modern fashion.
