Middle School Backpacks for Tweens

Regardless if it's middle school (6th, 7th, 8th grades) or junior high school (7th, 8th, 9th grades) in your area, these years mark a time of transition, growth, and new experiences. It's also a time that requires the right backpack to help students navigate each day with confidence. Our backpacks can help them balance academics, extracurriculars, and social activities and which style you choose should take into account not only daily school essentials, but also whatever they need before and after school.

A middle school backpack needs space for everyday essentials, from books and tech to lunch and water bottles. With roomy compartments, built-in organizers, and padded sleeves, these styles help tweens stay prepared throughout the school day.

Like all our kids' outdoor clothing and gear, our junior high backpacks are made with durable materials. Whether they encounter wet weather on the commute, accidental spills, or bulky art supplies, these packs are designed to handle the demands of the school day.

Our Hot Shot Base Camp Backpack, for example, is a great choice for a comfortable carry. It features a 16" laptop sleeve as well as a fleece-lined pocket for a phone or glasses. Two mesh water bottle pockets are handy for helping them stay hydrated and reflective elements help them stay seen in low light conditions.

Our best-selling Borealis backpack (available in men's and women's styles) is a classic and easily recognized by the bungee straps. It also has a laptop sleeve for devices up to 16", reflective elements, and the FlexVent™ suspension system certified by the American Chiropractic Association.

If your student needs to carry a lot of additional gear like a change of clothes for athletics, consider the Router Backpack - our largest lifestyle backpack. It has a 40-liter capacity, can fit laptops up to 17", and includes the FlexVent™ suspension system.
