Best Gaming Backpacks in 2022

Alienware is one of the biggest brands in gaming laptops. So when we saw that they had released a gaming backpack, we knew it was going to one of the best. Designed to protect and carry your Alienware 17-inch gaming laptop, this backpack has an in-built shield made from high-density nylon. You could drop the backpack, knock it into a wall, or even hit it with a bat, and your laptop will be protected inside. The rest of the backpack is made from water-resistant nylon, so you’re also safe if you get caught in the rain. 

Inside the Alienware 17″ Vindicator 2.0 Gaming Laptop Backpack, you’ll find padded pockets to protect your laptop and tablet, as well as several additional pockets. With this amount of interior space, you can carry your laptop, hardware, and more. We also want to give a quick mention to the comfortable, padded straps. Along with the chest strap, they do a great job of spreading the weight between your shoulders, back, and the rest of your upper body. 

Acer Predator Utility Rolltop Backpack comes complete with a brilliantly crafted design that ensures the best protection for your gaming laptop. It has been developed with a multitude of inner compartments that make for efficient and organized carrying while also making things easy to find and grab when required.

The straps have enough cushioning to provide comfort when wearing it all day going from place to place wrecking noobs (do the kids still say noobs?) and for added convenience, there is a compartment at the bottom of the backpack to store your power bank and save it getting tangled with your other cables. This backpack is one that will protect your laptop and other electronics from the harshest of weather conditions and ensure that all of your gadgets and gizmos are easily available wherever you travel.

Everki Titan Checkpoint Friendly Backpack can open out at 180 degrees for simple retrieval without needing to move all your other accessories out of the way and is kitted out with so many sturdy zippers and clips that you might not be able to keep track of them. It is a marvelously designed backpack that is both reliable and functional and is capable of carrying everything you need during your day-to-day.

Its vast interior space makes it great for carrying laptop and computer equipment while still providing space for notebooks, games, racing wheels, gaming mouse pads, and cables. It guarantees excellent organization with possibly hundreds (okay, not hundreds, but a massive amount) of pockets that provide unlimited storage options. Despite its mammoth size, it is surprisingly light so your shoulders won’t be cursing you at the end of the day and you can feel as great as you did when you strapped it on in the morning.

Packed with several organizational pockets and a rolltop feature that makes retrieving your laptop the easiest thing you’ll do all day, the Acer Predator backpack not only looks good, it offers excellent functionality, too. It has been designed to be as lightweight as possible so even when lugging around larger laptops or monitors, you won’t feel like you have the weight of the world on your back. This is further accentuated by comfortable straps that manage not to dig in to your shoulders on long treks across campus or to a friend’s house.

Inside, this roll top backpack is cushioned for greater protection and has enough space to store everything you need to bring with you. From keyboard, to a computer mouse to any extra games you might play (if you get the time), you won’t be left with the feeling that you have forgotten something. Its waterproof material makes it trustworthy to take even during the heaviest of rainfall and gives you the confidence that everything will get to your destination bone dry, except perhaps you.

Targus Strike Gaming Backpack looks a heck of a lot like the famous Saiyan armor from Dragon Ball Z and while it might not be able to withstand an energy blast from Frieza’s fingertip, it can certainly keep your laptop well protected. Boasting an array of zippers and individual compartments, you will be able to fit everything you need in here and still have room for anything you probably don’t need but may as well take with you anyway, just in case.

It is cleverly crafted to offer you one of the best gaming backpacks on the market and has oversized padding to really protect your electronics from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. Other compartments allow space for power banks, keyboards, and notebooks as well as whatever else you want. For extra protection, a deployable rain cover is on hand if you get caught in the nastiest of storms. Make sure you keep it always handy next to your gaming desk.

If you’ve spent thousands on a new gaming laptop, you don’t want to risk it getting damaged. The Lenovo Legion 17” Armoured Backpack II has a high-density EVA molded front shield lined with water-resistant PU fabric to protect your precious laptop from damage. It doesn’t matter whether you drop the backpack or get caught out in the rain, it will remain undamaged inside. Another reason we love this gaming backpack is that it has a spacious main compartment, large enough to house a 17.3” laptop. On top of that, it has space for your keyboard, mouse, and any other hardware you might need. 

This is also one of the more comfortable gaming backpacks on the market. With adjustable padded shoulder straps, extra back padding, and chest straps, it feels like a high-end hiking backpack. It also offers surprisingly good ventilation, thanks to the mesh design of the padding. All of this functionality and comfort comes at a surprisingly low price when you consider the protection this backpack offers. If you care about your gaming setup, this is the best way to carry it around.

The SHRRADOO Laptop Backpack isn’t designed specifically for gaming but it makes perfect sense as a gaming backpack. The problem we find with a lot of modern gaming backpacks is that they’re designed just to fit your laptop and hardware. There’s no space for anything else. This backpack has space for a 17-inch laptop, all of your hardware, and enough clothes to live for a week. If you’re a traveling gamer, this is the perfect backpack. 

It has a total capacity of 50L, which makes it bigger than some hiking backpacks. With that sort of space, it’s important that the backpack has a solid support structure and comfortable straps. Fortunately, it ticks both of these boxes with a reinforced body and thick, padded straps. Even when it’s fully loaded, this is a super comfortable backpack.

The FreeBiz Gaming Laptop offers everything you need to carry your gaming rig around with you. First of all, it’s super durable. It’s made from 1680D ballistic nylon, a material that’s water-resistant, stops the contents from getting scratched, and offers some protection against impacts. Aside from buying a backpack with an in-built shield, this is the highest level of protection available. It also has plenty of space. It fits up to 18-inch laptops, has an interior organizer pocket, and features a bunch of exterior pockets. You’ll easily be able to fit your laptop, hardware, and everything else you need to go about your day. Plus, it has mesh padding on the adjustable strap and the back, to provide you with long-lasting comfort.
