High School Backpack Recommendations

Hi! I'm looking for a durable backpack for high school, the one I have right now is aging fast. What brand or model would you recommend?

Not knowing your exact needs, I'll suggest a few different options that might suit. Two often recommended brands are JanSport and North Face due to their reliability, durability, and comfortable designs.

JanSport’s Big Student Backpack is a classic choice for high schoolers due to its large capacity. It comes with a 15-inch laptop sleeve, a front utility pocket with an organizer for your miscellaneous items, and a handy water bottle pocket.

The North Face makes the Borealis Backpack, which is also a popular option. It's suitable for both urban commute and occasional hikes. It has a padded, fleece-lined 15" laptop sleeve in the main compartment which is highly protective, and also comes in a variety of colors.

There's also the option of Herschel backpacks. They offer trendy designs with high quality material and a roomy interior. The Herschel Pop Quiz Backpack in particular is often recommended for high school students due to its multitude of pockets and built-in laptop sleeve.

Also, there are Patagonia backpacks which are known to be environment-friendly due to their recycled materials. Patagonia's Refugio Pack 28L is a popular option that provides ample storage, a laptop sleeve and is revered for its comfort and durability.

Finally, you might want to check out the SwissGear 1900 ScanSmart Laptop Backpack. Although a bit on the pricier side, it's incredibly durable, has plenty of storage, and includes a quick-access, scanning-friendly laptop compartment for easy airport travels, if that's something you might need in the future.

Remember, backpack preference can be subjective and depends entirely on your requirements. When choosing, consider the size, organization compartments, and comfortable shoulder straps to suit your individual preference and needs. Good luck!
