    Eastpak backpacks come in lots of styles and with a 25yr guarantee. Also good if you don't like your kids covered in logos...
  • TK Maxx often have Quiksilver or Animal backpacks. Mine cost £7.99 which is a lot cheaper than in the sports shops. Mine has lasted a few years so far.

    If you want cheap, Tesco did have some around a couple of weeks ago in black & grey or pink for £1, but none left in our local when I went last week. Might be some in yours.

    If you want quality, Eastpak, Animal, Quiksilver or Billabong-good prices in TK Maxx.

  • LL Bean and Eastpak are the best quality and very well padded to protect your youngsters backs.

    Animal do some great bags, very hard wearing, fits A4 size foders with plenty of room eft for a PE kit. Some even come with drinks bottles now!
    My son had one for 2 years, have just repaced with a new one.

    I'd highy recemmend this brand!

    Hiking bags are usually quite good as they have several pockets, I hate having all my stuff shoved together in the same pocket as it gets battered.

    Good point, they had some at Tescos yesterday £1 or £2 - the end of aisle deals. Failing that I have also bought a quiksilver rucksake in TK Maxx and also you could try ebay?
