Recommendations for a school backpack

5 replies

Hi,

I’m looking for recommendations for a school backpack for my 15 year old. He has had 2 of these adidas backpacks since starting secondary school which have been great. Loads of pockets, separate space for his Chromebook and drink holder. Adidas sadly do not make this version anymore. He would prefer something that doesn’t have a large slogan on it and something with enough space that can store all his school books/ PE kit, lunch box etc.

Budget £40-50.

I’m hoping someone might have some suggestions!

Thanks

I’d love some ideas too as my son‘s bag is falling apart after surviving up to gcse! I’d rather pay more and get a bag that lasts. I think I bought his bag from Sports Direct though some of the bags were flimsy

We are using Jansport - bought when on offer on Amazon.
Lasting well so far. Logo might be too obvious for your son tho?

Thanks @CatsOnTheChair, I will show him this one. It looks pretty good for storage and pretty sturdy too.

Dd had various bags including a kanken and one of these https://wolfpak.com/ which she still uses and now carries laptop and folders in sixth form

DS had a waterproof superdry one which has lasted through to yr 10 and he didn't even take a bag for last 6 weeks of term, when I asked he had a biro in his pocket and apparently that would do

The Wolfpak bags look good, but just a bit too costly for me, unfortunately.

The last reviews on the Jansports bag haven’t been great either on Amazon.

I can’t believe I am being so indecisive about a school bag! There is another thread about school bags that I am following so suggestions, but nothing suitable has come up, yet!
