Top-of-the-Line Backpacks for Boys in Elementary School

Schools will be starting soon and many parents will be out buying pencils, pens, paper, and many other school supplies. One item your son just cannot do without when headed back to school is a good backpack. I know from experience how important it is to have a strong backpack, as my grandson's backpack is heavily loaded with several textbooks, pens, paper and notebooks in order to complete his homework assignments. He not only needs a strong backpack, but one that has multiple compartments which will easily let him find his pens, pencils, calculator, and other school items. A good backpack may cost a little more, but they are well worth the money. Below are three companies that produce excellent backpacks that cost under $50.00.

Boy's Back-to-School Backpacks - Jansport

One of the most popular backpack companies for elementary boys is Jansport, who offers a large variety of back-to-school backpacks. Made from sturdy fabrics such as canvas and woven nylon, as well as heavy denims, these backpacks will last the whole school year and beyond. They are stitched with heavy thread, and many have Biovent shoulder straps. Biovent is an extremely lightweight foam design used for the shoulder straps. It helps conform the backpack to the body to help distribute the pressure caused from the backpack evenly. These shoulder straps are also equipped with vent holes to provide maximum ventilation. Each backpack has its own design of compartments, where some are padded for electronic items, zippered or mesh which holds water bottles.

Boy's Back-to-School Backpacks - Dakine

The Dakine Scooler backpack is just the back-to-school backpack your son needs. Made from a strong polyester fabric, this backpack features a removable, insulated lunch box, ID label, mesh packets on the side, a sunglass pocket, and reflective details.

If your son uses his skateboard to get to and from school than the Dakine Division backpack is the one for him. A special strap holds his skateboard securely, while the inside is designed with a compartment for books, an organizer pocket for pens, pencils, and small electronics, and mesh side pockets to hold water bottles. It is made of sturdy polyester fabric with a padded back panel and shoulder straps. It also comes with a manufacturer's lifetime warranty.

Boy's Back-to-School Backpacks - Nike

Nike, another popular brand name, has many great back-to-school backpacks, including the Nike Fundamental. Made from 100 percent nylon, this comfortable backpack is one your son will gladly show-off to his friends. Zippered compartments and side compression straps helps to secure school items.
