University Backpack

3 Tips: How to Choose the Right Backpack for University

Tip 1. Stability:

Laptop, books, water bottle, snacks – the packing list for a successful university day knows no limits. To ensure your backpack can keep up, it should be made from sturdy materials. Did you know that our backpacks are made from vegan tech materials as well as recycled PET? This material mix is particularly easy to care for and durable. By the way, all our backpacks are water-repellent, because you never know when the next bus will be late and you might have to walk in the rain! 

Tip 2. Functionality:

Exam season is approaching, and chaos reigns in your mind. Unfortunately, we can’t help you with that, but we can help keep your backpack organised! To ensure your university backpack is always well-organised, it should contain many different interior and exterior pockets, including definitely one to transport your laptop or tablet safely. Smaller pockets are also perfect for items you want to have within easy reach, such as your wallet, keys, charging cables, headphones, and more. 

Tip 3. Flexibility:

Whether you're in joggers, a blazer, or a blouse – backpacks from Kapten & Son fit with all looks, occasions, and semesters. Their clear and minimalist design complements really any outfit, and the neutral shades allow for a variety of combinations.

How Big Should Your University Backpack Be? 

We recommend a minimum size of 11 litres. This volume is enough for a few books as well as a laptop, lunch box, water bottle, and other smaller essentials. Our collections Bergen and Aalborg fall into this category. Due to its rectangular shape, your lunch box will find an ideal spot in our Bergen model. You can stow it at the bottom of the backpack, stack your other items on top, and keep everything organized. If you need more than just the university basics, the Lund Pro (expandable from 21 to 26 litres) or the Helsinki (26 litres) could be your perfect match for university life.
