Backpack for MS boy after the PBKids/State phase?

[Anonymous]

I see everything at my middle school - LL Bean, North Face, Jansport, basically every sport brand you can imagine, and some of the girls still have Pottery Barn.

My 7th grader has had her LLBean Deluxe since 3rd grade and it looks brand new.

Don’t make things harder than they need to be.

Anything reasonably sturdy and of mediocre quality or better is fine. Jansport works great. My sons did not care anyway when asked, just requested it be solid color.

Both my MS & upper ES DCs use the following jansport backpack, it’s durable with enough space,

There’s no need to shop at Amazon for a backpack. Let’s not make them more of a monopoly. Plus I don’t think one of those will last. A basic black LL Bean with a separate laptop carrier space would be nice.

My North Face is going on 10 years of use. Thing’s a champ
