25L Classic Laptop Backpack, Durable Water-Resistant Pack W/ 15" Laptop Sleeve and Multiple Organizational Compartments, PFAS Free, Black

I recently purchased the Carhartt 25L Classic Backpack for my son, who just started college, and it has been an excellent choice. This backpack is not only stylish but also incredibly functional and durable, making it perfect for his busy campus life. Here’s why I highly recommend it: What We Loved: Durable and Water-Resistant Material: The backpack is made from 600-denier polyester with Rain Defender™ durable water repellent, which means it can handle unexpected rain or spills without damaging the contents inside. My son doesn’t have to worry about his books or laptop getting wet when walking across campus. Spacious Main Compartment: The large main compartment is perfect for carrying textbooks, notebooks, and other essentials. It’s roomy enough to fit everything he needs for a full day of classes. Dedicated Laptop Sleeve: The built-in 15-inch laptop sleeve is a standout feature. It keeps his laptop secure and protected, which is essential for a college student who relies on their computer for assignments and studying. Multiple Pockets for Organization: The backpack includes a large exterior pocket and two side pockets, which are great for organizing smaller items like chargers, water bottles, or snacks. My son loves how easy it is to keep everything in its place. Comfortable to Wear: The adjustable shoulder straps make it comfortable to carry, even when it’s fully loaded. My son has mentioned that it feels lightweight and doesn’t strain his shoulders, even after a long day. Stylish and Versatile: The sleek design and neutral colors make it suitable for both casual and professional settings. It’s a great all-around backpack that works for class, the gym, or even weekend trips. What Could Be Improved: The only minor downside is that the side pockets are a bit snug for larger water bottles, but they still work well for standard-sized bottles or smaller items. Final Thoughts: The Carhartt 25L Classic Backpack is a fantastic choice for college students or anyone looking for a durable, water-resistant, and functional backpack. It’s spacious, well-organized, and built to last, making it perfect for my son’s busy college life. He loves it, and I feel confident knowing he has a reliable bag to carry his essentials. Highly recommend for students or professionals who need a sturdy and stylish backpack!

I wear this as a college nursing student and it fits everything I need! Super comfortable and sits on my shoulders nicely. The fabric is durable and doesn’t soak through in the rain. Zippers are super durable

This is my second go around buying this backpack for my child that is in high school. The quality is amazing. It is very thick. The color is a pictured and his backpack really does hold up to what it says. I actually still have the other backpack I purchased the same one just in a different color from the last school year I definitely highly recommend buying this backpack for any high schooler that has a lot to carry because even with a lot in the backpack, it is not heavy at all and it definitely will hold up all school year.

Good quality,durable.

I still use this backpack! I got it sometime in the fall of 2024, and it’s March 2025 now! It hasn’t torn AT ALL & the straps are adjustable as normal. Spacious for the essentials but not as many pockets so I can’t really put a LOT a LOT…. But it’s durable & when it rains it doesn’t stink. It doesn’t even stain or get too dirty when I put it on the floor. The zippers are kind of annoying to close sometimes because the backpack folds over in a weird way, but honestly once that thing is zipped up & doesn’t get loose/open up on its own. I’ve brought this with me all around campus, I’ve used this to travel as a carry on. My back and shoulders hurt a lot from the gym, so the straps are perfect (meaning my shoulders don’t hurt from carrying the backpack around all day UNLESS I really packed it full to the brim). I got the black one, it’s perfect if you want a smaller backpack that’s comparable to the same quality as a north face backpack (minus the pockets). Has a laptop sleeve for electronics & can fit a 24oz water bottle on the sides without it falling out. I can fit some essentials in the front smaller pocket. In the main pocket I can fit my planner, pencil case, hp laptop & iPad & 1-2 books and a hoodie (filled up to the brim, but when it’s filled up like this it’s obviously heavy & feels heavy, but my shoulders don’t hurt all day when it’s filled like that)

Nice heavy duty backpack with ample space for all of my belongings. Great sturdy material that will travel well.

I wanted a backpack that not everyone had for college but I also wanted something regular/nice! It fits my macbook air perfectly and for once I have a backpack where I dont have trouble with my zippers like Nike!

I would say this is a good sturdy backpack but the reason it got a star deduction is the zipper. It is so hard to move. You have to put significant force into it. Besides that it is very spacious and I stuffed it with a gaming laptop and iPad plus a few notebooks. I couldn’t feel it being crazy heavy. Overall if you can get past the zipper being annoying it’s a good backpack.

Buena mochila

Wir haben diesen schwarzen Rucksack jetzt seit einiger Zeit im Einsatz und sind absolut zufrieden. Er ist ein echtes Multitalent und sieht zudem noch recht schick und zeitlos aus. Nutzung in der Schule: Der Rucksack bietet genügend Platz für Hefte, Bücher und Tablett. Besonders wichtig war uns das Laptop-/Tablet-Fach: Es ist gut gepolstert, sodass das Gerät sicher verstaut ist und nicht im Hauptfach hin- und herrutscht. Auch bei schwerer Beladung lässt er sich dank der angenehmen Schultergurte noch gut tragen. Freizeit & Sport: Nach der Schule wird er manchmal auch direkt weiter für den Sport genutzt oder für andere freizeitaktivitäten. Das Design ist schlicht genug, um zu jedem Outfit zu passen, aber robust genug, um auch mal am Spielfeldrand zu liegen. Selbst Sportkleidung und eine Trinkflasche finden problemlos neben den Schulsachen Platz. Qualität: Das Material wirkt bisher strapazierfähig und die Reißverschlüsse laufen flüssig, ohne zu haken. Da er komplett schwarz ist, sieht man Schmutz kaum – und wenn doch mal etwas dran ist, lässt er sich leicht abwischen. Fazit: Ein klasse Rucksack für alle, die ein zuverlässiges Modell für den Alltag suchen. Er kombiniert Funktionalität (besonders durch das Laptopfach) mit einem modernen Look. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Bag is sturdy and not heavy. Well cushioned on the back and the straps. Love that the side pockets are big and fully lined (can fit 24oz Owala bottle with boot). The front pocket has an organiser too with key ring holder. Perfect for everyday work bag. I’m 155cm and it’s the perfect size for me.

Gewohnte Carhartt QUalität. Funtional und optisch ansprechend. Hab ich jeden Tag zur Arbeit mit.
