It’s almost time to head back to school, and aside from notebooks and pencils, one of the essential must-haves for all students is a cool backpack. We’ve searched the Internet, and here are 15 of the coolest backpacks for everyone from grade-schoolers to grad students. Even if you’ve already bought yours, you can see if it made the list.
1. The X-ray Backpack. Don’t put any secret items in this backpack. Other students can see right through it, and you too. Great for the practical joker, future med student or neo-goth kid, the X-ray backpack sells for $60.
