You're on your way out the door. You look down at your umbrella. The lazy little bastard is just lying there, like some kind of narcoleptic stoner cat. He slowly opens one eye to look at you, bursting with disdain. "If you want me to come with you you'll have to carry me. You could leave me here, but you know what happened last time..."
You glance out the window at the clear skies above and leave your umbrella at home. Then it hammers down with rain and you're washed away in a torrent of regret, annoyance and rain. Mainly rain.
It doesn't need to be this way. You could pop everything you might need in a rucksack which, unlike other types of bag, won’t lead to crippling back problems in the future.
FHM heroes including Kanye West, Wretch 32 and Michael Cera know that rucksacks are where its at, but it’s imperative you rock the right one. That ‘Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles’ number, for instance, is doing you no favours, no matter how many times you spout rhetoric about wearing it “ironically”.
Take our advice: bag one of these beauts and be on your items-carrying way:
