Book bags & office bags

Grab your pack and exercise your mind

Nature’s calling, but you should really get your homework done first. (Sorry — we don’t make the rules.) For work and school obligations between weekend adventures, we’ve got spacious daypacks and book bags to carry hefty textbooks, workplace essentials, and your carefully curated highlighter collection.

When you’re putting in long hours at the office or darting between classes on campus, a bag with a laptop sleeve keeps your digital notebook snug and secure. Interior pockets supply ample space for stashing extra pens and a midday snack or five.

Consider a carry-on sized daypack or book bag for business trips or studying abroad. There are also daypacks that transition easily into less intensive outdoor activities, with ventilated back panels for all-day comfort and compression straps or a rain cover to protect all your most important gear.

Now you’ve got a little more info about which daypack or book bag is best for you. (Don’t worry, this won’t be on the test.) Consult our study guide on how to choose and fit a backpack, and browse popular bags from brands like MEC, The North Face and Fjallraven. Now hop on your commuter bike or catch the bus for a sustainable commute and give your brain a workout.
