I'm looking for a durable, comfortable, and roomy backpack for college. Any suggestions on popular ones students use?
Choosing the right backpack for college can really have a significant impact on your comfort and organization. Some backpack recommendations that I often hear from students are:
1. The North Face Borealis Backpack: It's known for its comfort and durability. The FlexVent suspension system provides great shoulder support and the padded mesh back panel promotes airflow keeping you cool.
2. JanSport Right Pack: This is a classic. It's extremely durable and comes in a variety of colors. The large main compartment is suitable for large textbooks and a 15-inch laptop.
3. Herschel Little America Backpack: Not only is this backpack stylish but it's also roomy. Especially good if you like to carry a lot of stuff.
4. Patagonia Refugio Backpack: It has a generous storage capacity with multiple compartments, and is also known for its durability.
5. Fjällräven Kånken Laptop Backpack: Fjällräven is known for its durability and style. It has a separate padded compartment for your laptop.
One feature that many college students appreciate is a dedicated, padded laptop compartment. If you often carry your laptop around, this is a feature you'll definitely want.
Remember, what works best for one person might not work best for another. Size, material, type of closures (zippers, buckle, drawstring), and the number and design of compartments should also be considered in line with your personal preference.
