With school being right around the corner, you will probably start buying school supplies soon. One of the things that I hated about going back was the backpacks. I always had a lot of homework in all of my classes and therefore had to lug books back and forth to school. I dreaded that backpack and had always hated using it. Today backpacks are a lot different then what I remember them being. Backpack straps are padded. There are even backpacks that have wheels on them, and if you choose to you can still carry it around on your back. Some of the best made backpacks are made by Jansport; they have been around for many years. Here is a list of what I believe are the best backpacks for your money, but still will not hurt your back.
