What bags are good for bad backs?

Yes, cross-body bags are good for the back as long as you keep switching sides. These bags distribute weight symmetrically and are one of the best bag styles to reduce postural strain on your back, neck, and shoulders. Choose a cross-body bag that has a wide and adjustable strap.
