Backpacks that are smell-proof are becoming increasingly common and for good reason. It’s fine to stroll around with your gear as federal legalization looms on the horizon, something we’ve been waiting decades for. Whatever the case may be, we don’t want anyone to be able to smell our stinky cheese fumes from a mile away. In this comprehensive guide, I present my top picks for the best odor-proof backpacks, along with detailed reviews of each model.

Why Should You Purchase a Smell-Proof Backpack?

They’re ideal for people like me who want to blend in while maintaining their sense of style. Grunge has always been a huge part of my life, and I was born on a skateboard. All the packs in my guide have the distinct theme I’m looking for.

Here are a few compelling reasons to purchase one:

Keep your “goodies” hidden from the rest of the family.

Don’t let scavengers steal your earbuds.

When attending a music festival, keep your belongings hidden.

Some of the best anti-theft backpack choices on the market are odor-proof backpacks with locks.

Keep the odor hidden from teachers and other authority figures who may want to put a damper on your celebration.

Great for storing your glass, dab gadgets and equipment, edibles, and, of course, green. I’m a cheese strain person, so an odor-proof backpack is needed because mom can smell it from the other side of the house. When I know I’m about to be called out, I’m tired of hearing her voice in that tone.

When traveling, this is ideal for masking noxious odors.

Men’s and Women’s Best Choices

Almost every one of the 14 packs in this guide is unisex. For women, Cookies SF makes the best odor-proof backpacks, while for men, Skunk makes the best ones.

Dime Bags is the manufacturer of the Omerta Transporter backpack. For Bob Marley fans like me, Dime Bags has a good selection of unisex bags.

In general, Dime Bags — Reggae Fans, Cali Crusher — Dab Heads, Headie Girls Skunk — Skaters.

Smokeyz — The best odor-proof backpack for people like me.

Conclusion

You don’t have a lot of choices when it comes to having a backpack that prevents your stuff from stinking up the room.

Unfortunately, a non-competitive market does not foster innovation or creativity, so you’re left with a collection of stoner backpacks that are both bland and hideous.

Don’t get me wrong, some of them work, but almost none of them are useful for anything else.

Even if you don’t worry about appearances, regular backpacks have a lot of benefits these days.

Water bottle holders, small pouches, places for pencils, pens, and laptops, as well as those handy little earbud holes that allow you to keep your phone in the bag when listening to music.

None of those are likely to be found on a product designed specifically to keep odors inside.
