Where the LitePak is soft-sided and light, the SchoolPak is structured. A panel frame around the perimeter means the bag stands up on its own, keeps books square, and does not sag into the small of the back when it is half empty.

That frame costs 40 grams over an equivalent LitePak and buys three things: a bag that can be packed standing up on a kitchen floor, book edges that stay uncrushed at the bottom of a locker, and a base that keeps its footprint after two years. The 22 litre main compartment opens on a three-quarter zip and has a padded 14-inch laptop sleeve. Two exterior pockets, both zipped, both big enough for a pencil case. Available in black, red and blue.

Every bag in the Backpacks range is described the same way on this site: capacity in litres, external dimensions, empty weight, and the school years it was built for. If any of those numbers do not match what you need, tell us what you are carrying and we will point you at a different model rather than sell you the wrong one.

How to read these numbers

Capacity is the usable volume of the packed bag, measured with the compartments closed. Dimensions are external, so allow roughly 2 cm on each figure for the internal space.

Empty weight matters more than most people expect: a bag that starts 300 grams heavier is 300 grams the child carries every day before a single book goes in.

Designed for is a guide, not a rule. Children of the same age vary by 20 cm in height. If in doubt, measure the back length as described in our back care guide.

Looking after it

Empty the bag completely, shake it out and sponge the outer fabric with warm water and a little non-biological detergent. Do not use bleach, solvent or a washing machine unless the model is listed as machine washable. Dry it away from direct heat with the compartments open.

Full instructions for every range — including how to re-proof a water-repellent finish and what to do about a stiff zip — are on our product care page.

Warranty: 3 years

Covers manufacturing and material faults from the date of delivery: seam and stitching failure, zip and buckle failure, and delamination of coated fabrics. It does not cover accidental damage, deliberate damage or normal wear.

Faulty bags are repaired where a repair is sound and replaced where it is not. See Warranty & Returns for the full terms and how to make a claim.

Delivery

Orders placed before 13:00 on a working day are packed and dispatched the same day from our unit in Chertsey. Standard UK delivery is 2–4 working days and costs £4.95, or nothing at all on orders over £75.00. Express delivery is 1–2 working days at £8.95.

Full details, including Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland timings, are on our delivery page.

Returns

You have 14 days from delivery to tell us you are cancelling, and a further 14 days to send the bag back, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. We extend that to 30 days for unused items in their original condition.

Personalised bags cannot be returned under the cancellation right unless they are faulty, because they are made to your specification. Please check spelling carefully before ordering.
