    What was your favorite school backpack as a kid? 🎒📚

    • @ckgonzales6743
      @ckgonzales6743 Год назад +6

      I didn't have a backpack until college in the mid 80's and it was a basic Jansport. Wish I had hung onto it as they are totally back in fashion. All the packs on your list are nice, but a little pricey for the average kid (parent). Maybe do a video with budget options. Thanks!

      Jansport! I didn't have a backpack until university either. I went to boarding school and since we just walked across the way to the classroom building there was no need for lockers or even backpacks!! But at uni I just wanted to "fit in". I had a basic Jansport, it had a leather bottom and I put about 20 (flare) buttons on it! I had it throughout undergraduate well into my graduate studies. I didn't hold on to mine, I'm sure I've donated it along the way and I, too, wish I would have held on to mine. I don't even think I kept those buttons!?!

    My sense is that high school and college students (and their parents) tend to want less expensive backpacks. The ones you highlighted are more geared towards tech bros, IMHO. I am surprised that you guys didn't even give lip service to the trusty JanSport line of backpacks. Also, water bottle pockets on the sides don't seem to be the "in" thing right now, but everyone I know still wants one. Including my college-age daughter.

    That Topo Design bag reminds me very much of my beloved Jansport backpack that has gotten me through college and travel for the last 20 years. That thing is built like a tank! It’s starting to get a little worn now, so the Topo Design bag might be a worthy successor.

    The first backpack I remember having was a green JanSport one. Two zippered openings, no organization, just a place to put books, Trapper Keeper, and a hard plastic pencil case. In fact, still have that bag somewhere in my house. The front zipper did break at some point, but that's not bad for the amount of use and abuse it took.

    I have an Aer City Pack and if you are the type to carry around textbooks you will not like the backpack. Last semester the City Pack was good to me as my classes didn’t require textbooks but this year I do and the max I’ve found is I can stuff my Bio textbook and a few notebooks plus my laptop, and then a pencil case and my lunch bag in the front compartment along with charger and cables for my devices. I find that adding anything else overpacks the backpack and the top hideaway storage pouch becomes utterly useless when packed up all the way.

    My very first backpack was some cute tiny one I can't really remember, but my very first backpack that I had to get because of its durability was a JanSport I think with a rubber bottom. Lol. My first year of high school, my bags kept tearing and I finally got that one bag to hold my heavy books. 😆 The bottom looked like a tire, but it finally worked. 👍

      In College I had various messenger bags but my very first bag purchased because I had a laptop was a Bellroy one strap bag, so sleek and pretty, still have it but done with College lol. Currently living to hike, travel and becoming more minimal I'm loving my new blue Osprey 24/series backpack idk what exactly it's called but loving it.

    The Osprey Arcane XL might be better for students than the Arcane Large featured here because it has a separate padded laptop compartment in the back, large main compartment, organization compartment, quick access pocket in the front, and water bottle pockets on the sides.

I have other accessories from them that are pretty amazing...but that backpack is in that classic design and it's in a vegan leather that is also supposedly crack resistant and water resistant and 1/3 the weight of leather. I've never ever seen a review of it and it looks so sassy and grown up!

    Has PackHacker seen the new Linus Tech Tips tech bag coming out just now? It's on the heavy end but it's designed to be a ruthlessly durable bag for tech EDC. Linus said in a podcast recently that he's open to review collabs. LTT has a pretty big following so it could be a great way to get some growth to PH too (my two favorite channels!)

    Great school bags - back in the days when I went to school we didn't have such things at all, everybody had a good old ugly leather bag weighting tons and keeping for generations ... ;-) They were really ugly and I guess if I would have the choice now which leather school bag to grab I would go for any randoseru, one of these beautiful traditional Japanese leather school bags. I really love their great look as well as their practibility. Just the price is incredible, at least for the ones made from real leather ...
    That said, most probably my choice for a school bag would not be leather at all. Neither one of those in the video (sorry). I would surely choose both of those rucksacks which I use now as daypack, travel bag, hand luggage etc. - my two favourites are since many years the undestructable Burton Kilo 27 liter bagpack (in the original version, not the 2.0 model) and the astonishing light weight Salewa Chip 22 liter rucksack. Both in black, of course ;-)
    And why both? Well, one rucksack is never enough, so for full day or heavy use in the morning I would take the Burton, but for the light work in the afternoon the Salewa. ;-D

    Batac can't support weight of middle sch kids books, puts a lot of strain on zippers. It's better as a hiking or sightseeing day pack. One of my kids is using a kanken laptop bag for the past 2 years but I absolutely hate the narrow bottle pockets that limit the brands that can fit. The other is using a Decathlon brand bag which is dirt cheap but doesnt have much structure, I'm surprised it is lasting more than a year of abuse.
