Best backpack I’ve found
My sons’ elementary school had to shut off water fountains due to covid, so the kids all had to bring water bottles from home, and my oldest son’s backpack- a 20 year old Jansport that was previously my favorite backpack ever- didn’t have a water bottle pocket on the outside, which was the only problem with it. I didn’t want to have him carry it on the inside and risk it leaking on papers, folders, or his school-issued iPad, so I looked everywhere for a backpack that met all my criteria. Had to have the water bottle pocket on the outside, but I also wanted it to look great, have organization on the inside for pens/pencils, etc, and be something that was durable enough to last for a long time, as we have had our share of backpacks purchased in September that didn’t last till Christmas break. This one totally fit the bill and then some! It was so awesome for my 5th grader that I bought one in a different color for my 1st grader when his cheap backpack broke after less than 3 months of use. This is one that they can grow into; there is a fleece-lined pocket for sunglasses or a cell phone when they get older, which we currently use for their snack, an attached keychain holder so they don’t lose keys if and when they need them, a padded laptop sleeve at the back of the main compartment, and tons of room. I also love the bungee on the outside, which I have used to keep their tennis shoes outside the backpack in the winter when they have to wear snow boots but change to shoes at school so they don’t get water/mud/sand all over the inside of the backpack and whatever else is in there. This is the best backpack I have found, and I’m a little jealous that I didn’t have one when I was in school lol! Read more
