Ever since we developed our first book pack in 1982, we've been outfitting kids for the back-to-school season with rugged, dependable gear.
Our Classic School Backpacks come in sizes for students of all ages. They're all designed to be comfortable, durable and practical, with lots of room and all the features students need every day. 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material on the front and straps keep kids visible on the walk home. And all our backpacks undergo rigorous testing in the lab and in the field, so you know they'll hold up to whatever kids can dish out.
The Junior Original shares many of the same features of our Original Book Pack, but it's specially designed for children ages 4 and up. It comes in a variety of fun colors and prints, with plenty of room for toys and lunch.
Our Original Book Pack was the first school backpack we introduced and has been a favorite companion for generations of students. It comes in dozens of colors and prints, so there's something to fit every style and personality. This pack is designed for kids ages seven and up who carry light to moderate loads.
The Original Plus is built for students ages 9 and up, who need more space in their backpacks for schoolwork. The roomy center pocket makes it 20 percent larger than our Original Book Pack.
Introduced in 1986, the Deluxe Book Pack remains our bestselling backpack to this day. Designed for ages 10 and up, it has two roomy compartments, an organizer pocket and even an audio port for music on the go.
Our Super Deluxe Book Pack is designed for students ages 15 and up, and has plenty of space for everything older students need. Two large compartments have ample room for books, sports gear and more.
At L.L.Bean, our Classic School Backpacks are built for the long haul. No matter which one you choose, you can be sure you're getting one of the most durable, well-designed and thoroughly tested backpacks you can buy. Guaranteed.
