For the younger folks, the Knapsack or Mini Knapsack can be the perfect fit. Both are small and lighter compared to many of our other packs as well as having a simple design. With a cinch opening and a flap to cover it, it makes for an easy-to-open pack. With a spacious single compartment to hold books, snacks, and a water bottle as well as one hanging zippered pocket for pens, pencils, markers, and any other little items, it is all they need and nothing that they don’t. It even works great as a small pack for those beach days!

For those entering middle or high school, you can’t go wrong with the North Bay daypack. With multiple different styles and size options, it’s a piece of cake to find the right one to meet their needs. With a timeless classic style, the North Bay is sure to impress. On the interior, you will find a sleeve for a laptop that also has 3 smaller organizational pockets on the front as well as a hanging zippered pocket as well. On the front of the pack sits a smaller, zippered pocket perfect for a phone and computer charger, and other small but important items.
