Carhartt Legacy backpacks remain relevant because Classic, Standard and Deluxe work-backpack products are still active in the live Backpacks4Less catalog. The best Legacy model depends mainly on laptop size, capacity and how much organization you need.

Quick Answer

Choose the Legacy Classic for a straightforward work-and-laptop load, the Legacy Standard when you want laptop and tablet organization, and the Legacy Deluxe when you need a larger work backpack with a listed 17-inch laptop compartment.
