Middle School Backpacks

Middle school is a time of transition for students, a time when they're gaining more responsibility and need more school supplies. The changes can be daunting, but at least they won't have to worry about how they'll handle their new supplies when you choose a middle school backpack from Lands' End.

Our middle school backpacks have generous main compartments made from heavy-duty polyester or canvas. We choose these durable materials to make sure they're up to the task of carrying heavier books, calculators, ring binders, and other items they didn't need in elementary school. They also have secure zippered pockets, perfect for keeping coin purses and house keys safe. The mesh pockets on the side can keep cold, damp soda cans and water bottles away from their books and pencil pouches.

Middle schoolers have discerning tastes, but we know exactly what they like. Some of our most popular girls backpacks for middle school are decorated with pink camo print, polka dots, and geometric prints. Backpacks for boys in middle school are often a little more reserved, with monochromatic camo, checks, or simple block-color finishes.

We can turn any one of our backpacks for middle school boy or girl students into a treasured possession with our personalization service. Kids' faces light up when they receive backpacks embroidered with their own initials, names, or nicknames. We can also add meaningful motifs, including American flags, ballet slippers, and footballs for an extra personal touch.

Lands' End backpacks are the perfect back to school backpacks for middle school, no matter what grade they're entering. If you didn't choose a Lands' End backpack for your child when they entered junior high, don't worry. With large and extra-large backpacks to choose from, there's a middle school backpack size that's just right for your kid. Browse our collection and you'll soon understand why we believe we make the best backpacks for middle schoolers.
