Learn About School Backpacks
School backpacks are ideal for carrying books, school supplies, clothing, and lunches to and from school every day. They tend to be simpler than a hiking daypack in terms of features, but many hiking daypacks also perform well as school backpacks.
Leading brands in school packs include JanSport, Eastpak, The North Face, High Sierra, OGIO, eBags, Kelty, Mountainsmith and more. All build highly functional and fashionable school backpacks, with new assortments available in early summer each year.
Key features to look for include a large main compartment and several smaller compartments, including accessory pockets and an organizer panel for cell phones, keys, etc. Water bottle holders are a plus, as are laptop sleeves and CD/MP3 player pockets.
