Guys, I'm in the market for a new backpack for the upcoming school year. I'm curious, what are the most popular backpack brands/types usually chosen by high school students?
That's a great question and speaks to both aesthetics and practicality. There are several brands that are typically popular among high school students, but I would say the top three are JanSport, The North Face, and Herschel.
JanSport is a classic brand, known for being durable and offering a wide variety of fun prints and colors. Their "Right Pack" model is a fan favorite due to its straightforward design and roomy interior.
The North Face is another popular choice, especially the "Borealis" or "Recon" packs. Offering lots of storage compartments and comfortable padding, these are great if you're often carrying heavy books or a laptop. Their durability and weather-resistance also makes them perfect for students who are active outdoors.
Herschel backpacks are quite trendy at the moment, especially their classic "Little America" model. It has a distinctive look with its flap and buckle design, yet it's still functional with plenty of room.
One more brand to consider could be Fjällräven, specifically their 'Kånken' backpack. It's quite popular for its unique square design and wide range of colors.
Remember to consider the weight of your typical load and if you'll be carrying a laptop often. You want to make sure the backpack you choose has enough space and the necessary compartments for your needs.
