Changing bags

Intense study periods, increasing personal responsibility, and unforgettable experiences with friends, along with the first taste of independent adult life: sixth form is definitely an intense time, and a reliable companion is essential. That's why a well-thought-out school backpack that meets your needs is particularly important. And if it also looks stylish, that's even better! Here's what you should consider when choosing your highschool backpack: 

What Your highschool backpack Needs

Tip #1:Functionality

When your thoughts are racing between exam periods, hobbies, family, friends, and more, at least your school backpack should be perfectly organised. Therefore, it should have various internal and external pockets to structure your belongings and provide protection for your tablet on the go. Smaller pockets are perfect for headphones, wallets, lip balm, hand cream, hair ties, and more. 

Tip #2: High-quality

MaterialsFrom tablets and calculators to notepads and pencil cases, as well as snacks and a water bottle: to safely transport all your belongings, your school backpack should be made of sturdy materials and be water-resistant. Backpacks from Kapten & Son are made from vegan tech material and recycled PET, making them particularly robust and easy to care for. So don’t be afraid of lighter colours, as you can easily remove minor scuff marks with some lukewarm water and mild soap. 

Tip #3: Versatility

Whether in jogging pants, a blazer, or a blouse, Kapten & Son backpacks go with all styles, occasions, and semesters. Their clear and minimalist design complements every outfit, and their neutral tones allow for a multitude of combinations.

How Big Should a Sixth Form School Backpack Be?

Big enough for all the essentials you need, but not so big that it becomes burdensome. As is often the case, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. A minimum storage capacity of 11 litres is needed to accommodate a tablet, snacks, a water bottle, and smaller essentials. The Aalborg or Bergen Pro would be ideal for this purpose. If you need a bit more space, we recommend the Lund Pro, which expands from 21 to 26 litres thanks to its roll-top design, or the Helsinki, which also fits 26 litres.
