Backpack & Gym bags come in all shapes & sizes from gym bags, golf bags and..Sports bags,  Backpacks,  bags go back to the Earliest recorded history, some version of the backpack—also known as a rucksack, packsack or knapsack.  —was used by primordial hunters to carry larger game animals back to the tribe or family. It’s hard to say when first backpack was hoisted on some primitive’s shoulders and filled with the possessions he simply couldn’t leave behind, but it was certainly long before recorded history.  Early hunters used several backpacks—passed out among the tribe—to return their prey to the cave, shelter or family. These packs were made of the skin of the same animal they had hunted in most cases. It’s easy to imagine that these primitive packs, held together with the intestines of animals also hunted at the time, were surely less comfortable than more modern packs, such as those made by Ogio backpacks.

It wasn’t until about 1910 that someone first devised the term backpack to denote any rucksack-type bag slung over the shoulders and used to carry belongings. Certainly previous generations had enjoyed the sport, though it was at this time that it reached the height of its popularity. It was at this time that hippies took to backpacking as a means of getting back to nature and also as a way of containing their belongings as they hitchhiked to school or across the country.

Backpacking’s popularity remains strong today, with thousands of naturalists taking to the woods, meadows and mountains each year in search of a simpler, quieter lifestyle. Backpacking remains an immensely popular sport even to this day, with thousands of nature lovers taking to the meadows, woods and mountains each year in search of a quieter, simpler lifestyle beyond the hustle and bustle of urban life. Of course, newer backpacks are a far cry from the canvas and aluminum models of yesteryear.

Turning to the design elements, today’s packs are again in a league of their own. The smooth shapes and sophisticated styling make today’s packs not on workhorses, but fashion statements. These same sorts of fashion advances may be found in Ogio Bags and Ogio Golf Bags.  Though most every model, including street backpacks all the way to rugged mountain gear, is built to perform and last for a lifetime, they also meet the needs of fashion loving hikers, cyclists and students.

Many of the best bags, be they for backpacking, golfing, or simply a fashion accessory, come with a limited lifetime warranty, something not even the best packs of yesterday could boast.
