What is the difference between a Rucksack vs a Backpack?

There are not many differences between a rucksack and a backpack, with the main one being the amount you are meant to carry in each product. A rucksack is designed for heavier loads and is designed for hikers and explorers who want to carry more items with them. A backpack is designed for lighter options every day and designed to carry personal items for daily use.

Why is a bag called a rucksack?

The word rucksack originally came from the german word ruckene. The word rucken means "back", and sack, which means "bag" or "pack". In more recent years, rucksacks are now being used by office workers to carry laptops and school children also use them. The word has been integrated into everyday British life and used to refer to peoples people's bags.
