About Backpacks

If there’s anything you really don’t want to think about, it’s your backpack. It’s an old dependable standby, a leftover from grade school days gone by that has to do one simple thing: hold stuff. Sure, we all want our backpacks to do more than just hold stuff, but as long as it holds everything we need, what else is there to think about?

At Zappos, we know backpacks and we think about them a lot. We know what features you need to make your life easier, and we probably know about the features you need but didn’t even know about. We know that you need bags of all types to keep those day-to-day tasks easy to handle and pack for, and we know that you need a backpack to compliment your own sense of style. And, most of all, we know that it’s the last thing you need to worry about in your busy life

The back to school blues come about once ever year, but you can brighten up any fledgling scholar with the right backpack. Do you have a budding fashionista with a penchant for bright and bold style? Then have them chasing down the school bus with the beachside fun of a colorful Roxy backpack or keep her shining bright with the frilly and flowery fun of an O’Neill backpack. If you’re for something a bit more traditional in your backpack, then the SuperBreak® from Jansport is an absolute essential with its iconic style that’s equally matched by its rugged durability.

If you’re ready to conquer the concrete jungle with a deck and four wheels, then make sure you have the right skate pack to keep those sessions smooth. Most skate packs come with straps on the front of the bag to keep your deck in check when you’re running around the town. Plus, with their roomy storage space, you can hold anything you’d need – extra shoes, a jacket, skate tools – to keep that session grooving late into the night. From DC™ to Gravis™ Emerica™ and back, there’s a backpack that can complement your personal style with absolute ease.

Whether your adventure is a quick hike through the woods or conquering the mountain, you need the right backpack to assist you on your quest. Water is essential and the hydration reservoirs in Camelbak® backpacks will keep you replenished for hours. If you are a weekend photographer, Mountainsmith™, OGIO, and Dakine designed packs to protect your camera and keep your equipment easily accessible. Are you ready to hit the rough trails and lose yourself in the wilderness for a little while? A rugged pack from The North Face® or Patagonia® might be what you need with their roomy main compartments to hold your gear and their durable fabric made to withstand rips and snares.  On those journeys into nature, be it short or long, a backpack is your best companion.

So whether you need a heavy duty backpack that can store it all for a whirlwind trip or something fun and fashionable for everyday use, we’re ready to help make your life a bit easier.
