Carhartt sells men’s, women’s and unisex backpack styles, but fit and use are more important than the marketing label. The same 21L–28L laptop backpacks can work for many body types when the straps and dimensions fit correctly.

Quick Answer

Choose Carhartt backpacks for men or women by laptop size, torso fit, capacity and daily job rather than gender label alone.
