Carhartt Carhartt Trade Series Backpack, Grey, One Size

If you love the color charcoal or dark grey, this is the perfect bookbag. It’s sturdy and waterproof. It is also spacious inside, making it perfect for a student. I definitely recommend it!

An average build adult male has the shoulder straps almost extended to the end

For the price it's pretty good, all my school books fit, and it's pretty sturdy. The material is tough allowing me to throw it on the floor and it doesn't get very banged up. It's a lot smaller than what you'd expect, but nonetheless, for the price, it's extremely good. 100% recommend.

Basic bag..nothing special

I had a student with a Carhartt backpack, and knowing how serious his parents were about only buying the highest quality items, I ended up buying this rather than another Jansport. The back padding is quilted so it’s already better than the jansport. The fabric is thick and durable, and water resistant. The grey is a nice neutral, not brown or bluish. I haven’t had it for long but I’ve taken in hiking as well as a daytime around-town bag and it’s comfortable whether full or empty. Definitely don’t regret this purchase. Haven’t had it for long but my students bag looked like new even after 6 months.
