backpack

When you’re a student, it seems as though there is no end to the litany of “stuff” you need to tote back and forth to class everyday. In addition to textbooks and notebooks, you’ve got to make room for snacks, a water bottle, your wallet, perhaps a change of clothes, and of course, your laptop. So, to keep you organized and your laptop safe, here are some of the best laptop backpacks to consider for the upcoming school year.

While I’ve been out of school for quite some time now, I still have vivid memories of the pleasure I took in prepping for a new year. Yup, I was one of those kids who enthusiastically went shopping for back-to-school supplies while everyone else relished the last few weeks of summer freedom. And believe it or not, we’re only a little over a month away from the start of another school year, so whether you have little ones heading to elementary school for the first time, or are a university student yourself, here are the top 5 backpacks for 2015–ideal for toting all your shiny new school supplies.

Not everyone likes to stand out in a crowd, but if you like to make a statement wherever you go, then these bright and bold backpacks are for you. Whether you are going back to school, heading out on a travel adventure, or just want something fun for commuting to and from work, these options are sure to keep you from blending in.

If you love the look of Herschel backpacks but want something a little less common, look no further than these sporty, functional alternatives.

A good backpack should serve multiple functions and be stylish too, which just happens to be the case with Jansport’s new spring collection.

Whether your toddler is starting preschool, kindergarten, heading to daycare, or just making day trips to the park or grandma’s and grandpa’s, a backpack can come in handy. And you’ll want one small enough for your little one, and stylish enough that he’ll be excited to put it on. While my 4-year-old son has a backpack that he uses daily for preschool and summer camp (and soon kindergarten), it also comes in handy for outings, like heading to his grandparent’s...

Your school life shouldn't come at the cost of a love for the outdoors. These backpacks do both, so you're ready to hit the hills as soon as you're done classes.

Summer is almost over, and soon it will be time to get back in the classroom, and back to hitting the books. But you’re going to need a lot more than just books to make it through the semester, so I’ve put together a handy checklist of what you’re going to want to have to get geared up, and packed up for back to school.

If you're a tech user on the go, it's important to make sure your items are going to be well cared-for. Check out these stylish backpacks to keep your laptop safe from place to place.

I have had my backpack for long enough that I can’t actually remember the backpack that came before it. This one has seen me through summer vacations, weekend getaways, and—most importantly—through trips to my hometown’s biggest dog park. (It’s so big that the North Saskatchewan River runs through it, and in the summer the river is full of puppies.)  My bag is a Burton bag.
