Finding the best backpacks for school is a serious mission for many parents and students, so get ahead of the game and make your pick now to avoid last-minute stress.
A good backpack can safeguard your laptop, textbooks, smartphone, and just about anything you place inside it. It should also be rugged enough to withstand extreme weather and everyday wear and tear that is bound to happen between classes.
The best school backpacks can also have a life outside of the classroom, and be used on day trips, outdoor excursions or even for travel. So whether you're heading to summer classes later this year or just need an all-purpose backpack, here are our picks for the best backpacks for school.
