01The years the bag gets carried every day
Seven bookbags for middle and high school between 24 and 27 litres, five of them with a padded laptop sleeve, in plain colours and in galaxy, kawaii and tie-dye prints.

This is the shelf that gets the hardest use on the site: a bag bought in August and carried five days a week until June, loaded with textbooks in the morning and a PE kit in the afternoon. Twenty-five litres is the number most of these sit at, and in practical terms that is three textbooks, a ring binder, a 15.6-inch laptop in its own padded sleeve and a water bottle standing up. What separates the seven is not capacity but what the outside is doing: the mesh bookbag is built for a school that wants to see what is inside, the galaxy and kawaii prints are the ones a teenager picks themselves, and the two basic bags are the plain navy-and-black answer for a school with a uniform rule. The orthopaedic advice for this age is the same as for the small ones: two wide straps, both of them on, kept even in length.

Prices are the ones from our last update; the abshoo way updates them on a schedule, and the figure at the till is the one that counts.
03Before you order
Where a middle-school bag differs from an elementary one, what twenty-five litres holds, and which of these takes a laptop.
Twenty-four to twenty-seven litres, which in practice is three textbooks, a ring binder, a 15.6-inch laptop in its sleeve and a water bottle standing up, with the front pockets left for everything else. That is a full day and not a full locker: the guidance we quote puts the ceiling at fifteen per cent of the person carrying it, and twenty-five litres of books passes that for most teenagers.
The heavy-duty mesh bookbag on this shelf, or one of the clear backpacks on the shelf next door. Mesh satisfies a school that wants a glance rather than a full view and it carries more comfortably than PVC; a district that specifies clear means clear, and mesh will not do.
Both. The basic, everyday and classic bookbags come in black, navy, grey, red and pink with nothing printed on them, which is what a school with a uniform rule usually wants. The galaxy, kawaii and tie-dye versions are the same bags in a printed cloth.
