So you’re headed off to college. You’re probably thinking about all the things you need to start the year off right from books to dorm decorations to new clothes, but have you thought about what you’re going use to carry all your stuff to and from and on campus? There are many types of book bags and backpacks for college students, but depending on your style and the things you need to carry, one may be better suited for you than the next. Here are some tips on how to choose your college bag.
JanSport Super Break Wheeled College Backpack If you think you’ll be carrying heavy books, walking all over campus, or both, a wheeled backpack is probably your best bet. Not only will a rolling backpack save your back and shoulders from possible injury, but it can serve as carry-on luggage when you travel during break.
The North Face Surge College Laptop Backpack Got a laptop? Toting a laptop to and from class, library, car, dorm, etc. can be rough on it unless you have a good laptop bag. Even better is a laptop backpack that allows you to carry your laptop and your books, notebooks, and pens hands-free.
Diesel Bags College Messenger Bag For a cool alternative to the backpack, consider a messenger bag. These bags are also great for saving you from back injury.

Keeping Your Backpack Safe

May 20, 2008 By: Misty Category: Back To School, College Backpacks, Tips and Advice No Comments →

While backpacks are a great way to tote your books and school supplies around your college campus, they can also be a magnet for theft. When walking on campus or standing still in line at the coffee shop on the quad, be aware of what’s happening around you.

Because most backpacks have several compartments in the front, you should ensure that each pocket is zipped and secure. Try to avoid putting your wallet and other very personal items in those front areas. They can easily be removed if you aren’t paying attention to what’s going on behind you.

Many backpacks come with front compartments that are made specifically for certain items, like pens and pencils. Use the appropriate spaces for those items and put your wallet, keys and other important items closer to you or in the larger compartment with your books.

Laptop Backpack - The Perfect High School Graduation Gift

May 14, 2008 By: Shari Category: Back To School, Backpack Styles, College Backpacks, Laptops and Cameras, School Bags No Comments →

It’s that time again. Time for the school year to come to a close and, for high school grads, time to start getting ready for the move to college. Many parents are choosing to get their future college students laptops as graduation gifts, but with laptops comes the need to protect them and transport them safely from class to dorm to library to wherever. Enter the laptop backpack.

Laptop bags come in many styles, but the laptop backpack is different because not only can you carry along papers and books along with your backpack, but the load is balanced better than traditional shoulder bags. Just think - no more banging the laptop bag into doors, cars, and other people. And that translates into better protected laptops and accessories.

Plus, these packs come in many patterns and materials suitable for any style. Check out some of the selections below:

So if you’re looking to get your grad a laptop for graduation, consider also purchasing a laptop backpack along with it.

Which bag is right for college?

April 02, 2008 By: Shari Category: Backpack Styles, College Backpacks No Comments →

Jansport Superbreak Backpack On large university campuses, classes may be widespread with no time to return to your dorm room between classes. It’s frustrating to find you don’t have the right books or the assignment you labored over last night when you get to class. It pays to be organized when it comes to toting heavy books, supplies and your laptop around campus.

Think about what college bags will work best on campus:

  • Backpacks have been a student staple for many years and there are styles for any personal taste and budget. Traditional shoulder backpacks have one large compartment and sometimes a smaller outside pocket. They are carried on your back by two shoulder straps or by hand.
  • Wheeled backpacks come in two styles. There are school backpacks with permanent wheels specially designed for transporting books that are too heavy for carrying and convertible rolling backpacks with retractable wheels and a telescoping handle, as well as shoulder straps. (Alternative carrying options come in handy when terrain gets rough to roll or negotiating stairs). Check out school backpack brands by JanSport, CalPak, Eagle Creek and High Sierra.
  • Stylish college messenger bags are the hottest trend at many campuses. The messenger bag is an envelope-styled satchel with a single long, adjustable shoulder strap that can be worn over one shoulder or over the head diagonally across the body. Victorinox Swiss Army, OGIO, JanSport, North Face and Timbuk2 are leading college messenger bag brands.
  • If you carry a laptop between classes, it is important to choose a laptop backpack or bag with a separate padded compartment to protect your computer.
  • For outdoor activities, you may want purchase a sports backpack or combination sports and hydration backpack for your gear.
