During a typical school day, you use your backpack all the time: on your commute, in between classes, to lunch, to the library, to soccer practice, and on your walk home. Since it’s such a key component to your day, it’s important that you choose one that suits your needs.
Size and Space
When choosing a backpack, you first have to decide what size you need. Choosing the right size depends on what you’re going to use it for. How many classes do you have every day? Do you need to bring extra supplies for labs? Are you bringing extra clothes for the gym or work? Are you going to be on campus all day and need lots of food?
If you’ve got tons to pack every day, go with a mega sized backpack like the High Sierra Loop Backpack. These backpacks come in a variety of shades and designs and holds up to 33L of books, clothes and food so you don’t need to worry on days that you’re going to be on campus all day. The JanSport Digital Student Backpacks are also a great option. They hold up to the 38L of stuff and come different fun colours and styles! These larger size backpacks are also large enough for overnight or weekend trips, making them great for taking them to sports tournaments or home to see family for the weekend.
However if you don’t have tons to bring every day, you also don’t have to lug around a massive, empty backpack. If you’re looking for a small bag, the Roxy Pink Sky 21L Day Packpack or the Burton Youth Gromlet 15 L Backpack is great for any high school or college student who needs a compact bag for a few books and a snack. A small bag, like the Marvel The Avengers Backpack or the Disney Minnie Backpack with Lunch Bag is also great for any little tyke going off to preschool or elementary school in the fall.
Pockets
Another backpack essential is a water-bottle pocket. We have all had a water bottle or coffee mug leak in our bag and ruin a cell phone, laptop or book of notes. Having your water bottle or other liquids on the outside of your bag give an extra layer of protection to the important items inside. The High Sierra Access Backpack has a water bottle pocket, and here are some other backpacks with a handy water bottle pocket.
Straps and Design
Wear and Tear
The last feature you need to consider when choosing a backpack is the quality of the fabric and it’s resistance to wear and tear. If you’re going to spend money investing in a new backpack, you may as well choose something that is going to last, especially if you know you will be consistently carrying lots of items to and from school. Both Swiss Gear and Roots both have various backpacks that are made from water resistant, durable polyester or nylon materials that makes them great for withstanding various types of Canadian weather. Check out the Roots, Swiss Gear and other water resistant back pack styles here.
A good backpack is a back-to-school essential. When choosing the perfect backpack for school, it’s important to first choose the right size to suit your needs. Then you need to further narrow your choice by finding a bag with the right pockets for your personal items, laptop and water bottle. Lastly, you want to choose a bag that is made of water resistant materials with a high-quality ergonomic design and chest and hip straps for extra support and comfort. Other than that choose a style that suits your personality and get yourself to class!
