[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jr High/ HS age. My #1 requirement with backpacks is that they have NO mesh side pockets! We’ve had so many perfectly good backpacks that we couldn’t use anymore because the mesh pockets that hold their water bottles rip. It can be hard to find, but this one doesn’t have them. It’s a large size that fits books, folders, 3 2 inch 3 ring binders, etc. It’s a sturdy backpack that will last multiple years.
