I haven't been to school in nearly 30 years but going back this fall. I need a backpack that will carry a laptop, iPad, and 3 large text books. Most backpacks I see do not have very much room for the text books. Is Jansport still the go to backpack?

Do they even still make those old things like the boomers used to use?

These days, Real men on campus go to class with a satchel







Get you a satchel, baw

I have a Carhartt backpack. It travels well and is professional enough for most things. Nobody truly cares what kind of backpack you're rocking as long as it's not covered in stickers, childrens shite, ect.

Can't you just go to Amazon and search for "school backpacks"? Some of you people are so helpless, that its shocking yall are able to breathe on yall's own.......My Goodness.

I have a Samsonite that I've had since '06 and still use everyday. Have never had a zipper problem or anything else for that matter.

I actually went to a brick-and-mortar Office Depot. None of them looked like they could hold a laptop and a minimum of 3 large text books to me.

I switched to a Tumi a few years ago and will probably never go back to anything else.

That's what I use for my work gear on travel trips. Doubt I could fit 3 textbooks in them.

Op needs to go old school

Asking what the go to bag is for school these days is a little different than not reading instructions and asking questions that were answered in those instructions.

I looked at the Samsonite Xenon but it didn't seem big enough.
