Get your kids ready for the school year with school backpacks and bookbags to carry all their school supplies.

Back-to-school Backpacks For All Ages

We offer a range of backpacks for everything from elementary school to high school to college. We like to keep things comfortable, so you or your child can carry books and supplies without feeling weighed down. Our padded shoulder straps and breathable back panel are designed for maximum comfort. Many of our styles, like Jester, Borealis, or Recon, come in a unisex or a narrower women's style, so you can pick the ideal fit for you. Plus, you can grasp a shoulder tote bag style or opt for a rolling backpack to take the pressure off. Our trending bags have plenty of space for you to pack your supplies, lunch box, and more. Plus, they come in fun patterns, like camo or leopard print, and brilliant colours.

What is a Good Bag for School?

Our back-to-school backpacks are great for all ages. Choose based on your needs for school! Grab a kids' backpack that's great for elementary school or middle school. They'll have plenty of space for their lunch bag and a school project, but not so much they'll get weighed down. For older kids, a classic backpack is a great fit. Look for one with a laptop sleeve to protect up to a 17-in laptop for their day. Leave the mini backpacks for a daypack; grab a school bag with plenty of room for the school essentials.
