I’m not sure if this happens to everyone, but when I got to college, I wanted to make sure that I had all new gear. High school was done and over, and I didn’t want to carry around the same backpack, same things. I wanted to start the new page fresh, with a backpack that was made for a young adult, not a kid.

There are a variety of reasons why John Peters New York make such excellent college backpacks. In the first place, they come in a variety of sizes to work best for your schedule and interests. In high school you have to follow the daily schedule, but now you get to make it the way you want. And why shouldn’t your backpack follow suit?

Secondly, John Peters New York backpacks come in a range from traditional designs to unique shapes (such as the flap top backpack or the new 7010), so you can decide how you want to look. It’s time to distinguish yourself and your style, and John Peters New York designs give you the freedom to do that beyond just the boring high school standard.

No matter what your John Peters New York backpack looks like, though, the most important is what’s inside. With double stitching on the seams, vetted high quality zippers, and industrial-grade cordura plus nylon, JPNY college backpacks are built to last. They can handle the daily use, but when it comes to finals, they can also haul your books, your coffee, your food, and a tent (I might be exaggerating).

Finally, many John Peters New York models include laptop compartments, which you’ll need now in college, and all are ergonomically inclined with padded straps and padded back panels. Dragging around your life in a flimsy Jansport copy with no padding on the straps might have worked in high school, but not anymore. It’s a new life, a new you, and a new future!
