backpack

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.

Back to school is just around the corner, so now is the perfect time to pick up a new backpack for both work and play. However, not all backpacks are created equal, which is especially true if you are a woman. As women, we tend to have different needs than men when it comes to backpacks, so to help you in your search, I’ve identified seven great options for you to consider.

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.

Sending your teen back to school this September with the right backpack means they'll have all the space, pockets and compartments they'll need.
