Save your brain cells for chemistry class. We’ve made your backpack shopping a no-brainer.
Durability is the most important feature when selecting a backpack. The design and fabric must withstand constant abuse and be able to survive the school year. Don’t be lured into buying a cute bag that’s cheap. Instead opt for one of these three backpacks that combine functionality and style.
Victorinox delivers reliable luggage and bags that are sleek and timeless. For the single-strappers out there (those who shun the traditional method of backpack wearing with dual straps), we suggest the Lingo Lifestyle Round Trip.
The Lingo Lifestyle Round Trip features a padded monostrap, which is comfortable and hip. For those going to school in the steamy southern states, you’re going to love the moisture-wicking fabric on the back that keeps you cool and dry. Music fans will appreciate the fleece-lined pocket for iPods and the like. ($39.73)
Under Armour prides itself on the toughness of their products. The Varsity Backpack is no exception. Even the bulkiest lineman on the football team would struggle to demolish this bag. Constructed from hexagon ripstop and ballistic nylon, this backpack will undoubtedly make it until spring final exams. We found the anatomically shaped shoulder straps extremely comfortable - even when the bag was fully loaded with textbooks. ($49.99)
JanSport is a well-trusted name in the world of backpacks. From trail packs to school packs, they’ve got a bag that fits the bill. One of our favorites among the school backpack offerings is the Big Squirt. Choose from great colors like Purple Echinacea and Citronella Green. What else is there to this bag? How about a fully integrated hydration system! Load up your favorite beverage into the side pocket and hook up the beverage tube and you’ll be sipping your way to happiness - with your hands free. Neat freaks will be thrilled with the front utility pocket - it’s a perfect spot to keep life’s essentials. ($27.93)
Picking the right backpack is essential to getting the new school year off to a flying start. And remember: don’t put your back-to-school shopping off until September. For the best selection of backpacks, start shopping now.
