>The British created the names rucksack (a German loanword - 'rücken' being the bodypart 'back'),
can anybody verify this? because the word "Sack" also meand "bag" in german, so it seems more like a word that ist completly german in origin. (and dropping some letters or changing them ü->u is not very uncommon in german words) Elvis 12:52, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi there! I learned at school that "rucksack" is a Dutch loanword, from the word "rugzak", a bag on your back. We were told that this loanword was introduced in English in the 16th or 17th century (the age when the Dutchmen ruled the seas), as Dutch sailmen (/marines) wear "rucksacks". Has any of you heard about this version? Greetz, W. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.174.41.124 ( talk) 20:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
The "alpine" theory seems to be evident, since, in the southern German dialects, other words containing the element "rück" lack the umlaut too ("zurück" => "zruck"). The pronuntiation of the Dutch "rug" [rYx] is different from German "Ruck" [rUk]. - The Main article contains the statement "... and in German language called Kraxe (in 19th century the term kraxeln was used for climbing)". It should be updated like this: "... an in the Bavarian dialects of German called Kraxe (the term kraxeln is Bavarian for climbing)". - Another "alpine" trace thus; ! — Preceding

There's no mention of laptop backpacks, which are one of the most specialised and customized types of backpacks available today. 124.43.210.15 10:31, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
I reorganised the article into three main sections.
I think this organisation allows the sections to develop as the different types of backpacks have more similarity through usage than through the fairly random order given untill now. Arnoutf 11:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
When the article talks about the different types of fabric, could someone go over what the D rating is? As an example, I just came across this ad: "Fabric backpack features 420D Diamond Ripstop Nylon, Two ton Fabric and 600D Polyester with 1000D Kodra bottom construction."

Why does the article not mention anything about rolling backpacks? A rolling backpack is a hybrid of a luggage and a backpack. These backpacks put less strain on one's back and shoulders than regular backpacks. Can someone mention these backpacks on this article with an appropriate image and citations please?

The spelling is "Bergen", and if you want to get advice from a website called "arse" you do so at your peril. :-) Seriously though, reread the sentence that says "Bergan" comes from the manufacturers name "Bergens" and tell me it doesn't sound idiotic... 139.48.25.61 ( talk) 16:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to inform you that there is a new type of backpack that provides comfortable upper body support while seated and additionally provides security of bag contents if the user is asleep. Effectively when worn on the front, it combines a chin support on the top of the bag - this type of bag is known as a napsac backpack. You can check it out at <link removed> The bag is patent pending in USA and Europe. If you want further information, you can contact me at <redacted> Thank you.

I created a couple articles, day pack and daypack to redirect backpack. I believe in the simplest form, a backpack is worn on the back with two shoulder straps. To me, daypacks fit this category. I'm can see just adding it as another word, then explain it in terminology. Other ideas? Alrich44 ( talk) 18:13, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
I can not find the source for the information on the topic of the Terminology section, where source? Also there are some new backpacks types. update info on solar backpacks and built in battery packs,some even have built in speakers for audio Pcolina ( talk) 06:00, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
I'm not active enough on Wikipedia to know whether this warrants the "this article doesn't cite enough sources" template, but it sure seems like it. There are several sections that appear to be independent research, or at least don't cite their sources. Just flagging that it might need that. nhinchey ( talk) 13:20, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
I noticed following strange sentence in the Terminology section.
"In Middle High German ruck(e) means "back" (dorsum), which led to the Upper German and Swiss word ruggsack."
There is no Swiss language in that sense, the Swiss-Germans speak variations of Allemannic German dialects. Allemannic German dialects are, among others, Upper German. Therefore this should simply be shortened to:
