Finding a backpack that won’t bounce all over the place during a run is no easy task. This lightweight bag was designed specifically for runners and hikers who need a compact pack that hugs close to your body. It can hold small gear and hydration in one. It has an internal sleeve for a water reservoir (like a CamelBak) plus outside pockets for water bottles.

We really love the bungee cord loops for holding a hiking pole or a travel yoga mat. The entire backpack is breathable and the harness includes padding as well as an adjustable sternum strap for maximum comfort.

Another pocket-filled Lululemon backpack, but with a commuter spin. The drawstring opening makes it extra easy to access your items quickly, but the buckle closures also ensure it stays shut as you walk through crowded areas.

This is perfect everyday backpack for someone who needs to stash their laptop, notebooks, and workout gear all-in-one. We like the adjustable exterior straps for securing your jacket or yoga mat. The exterior water bottle pocket can support larger bottles like a Hydroflask. There is another padded compartment to hold laptops up to 16″ in size. Plus, there is a section for separating your sweaty workout gear.

FAQs

Are Lululemon bags worth it?

Like all of their gear, Lululemon backpacks and bags are made with quality and purpose. They are certainly more expensive than their counterparts, but one could argue it’s worth it for the abundance of pockets, multi-functionality, and trendy brand recognition. Many bags include separate compartments for workout gear, laptops, and exterior straps for your yoga mat or jacket.

Can you wash Lululemon backpack?

Most Lululemon backpacks should only be spot cleaned, never machine washed or put in a tumble dry machine. Doing so risks harming the water-resistant fabric, fraying the seams, or damaging the zippers.
