Tough Equipment from The North Face

Posted by KinL in backpacks | S&D Kids - (0 Comments)

Wilderness chic is sort of a strange moniker to attach to the American company The North Face. Ubiquitous in both suburbia and the big city, The North Face backpacks are ideally suited to the shape of school books and other educational paraphernalia. In some models, the cut of fabric is squared off to specifically fit books and laptops. So where did the company get its image?

Originally, The North Face made ski and camping equipment out of a small shop in San Francisco, later purchased by VF Corporation. Makers of outdoor equipment like jackets, shoes and The North Face Vault backpacks, the company is named for, supposedly, the hardest side of the mountain to climb–the north side. Today, the company and its sibling Jansport are located in Alameda, California, coincidentally the same county as the destructive force known as Mythbusters. With people setting off dynamite in the countryside, The North Face knows tough equipment.

When purchasing backpacks from The North Face and Jansport bookbags, be wary. Since the 90s, the companies have been the target of counterfeiters riding on the wave of wilderness chic. The North Face makes quality products at a relatively high price point, but their backpacks feature nigh-indestructible materials, reflective safety badges, and specialized functions.

Jansport, Backpack Innovator

Posted by tristanl in backpacks - (0 Comments)

JanSport backpacks have been around for a long time, and are among the most iconic pieces of American outdoor gear. The panel loading day pack, which is still sold, (varieties of it are available on sndkids) is one of JanSport’s enduring innovations. In fact, before JanSport came along the only style of backpack that was readily available was a top loading dray string style that had existed for ages.

The 70′s were JanSport’s period of greatest innovation as they pioneered the sort of technical backpacks that have become the norm for outdoor expeditions the world over. The company was borne out of a lightweight, tubular aluminum trekking backpack and flourished from there.  They were among the first manufacturers to use ballistic nylon in their manufacturing and the modern, sporty shapes and designs they created have come to represent what a backpack is, and are a far cry from the paramilitary backpacks of the past.

One of the best features of JanSport backpacks, one that they share with other premier book-bag makers is that JanSport offers a full lifetime warranty. That means that no matter what, JanSport will replace or repair a backpack if it fails in any way. That’s a pretty good deal, especially considering that most of JanSport’s bags retail for less than $50.

Jansport Bookbags Keep Kids Comfortable

Posted by christinem in backpacks - (0 Comments)

Kids are getting more and more homework these days, bigger text books and a lot of different papers to be carrying back and forth. It’s really important for your child’s health that they have a bookbag that is going to hold everything and keep them comfortable. Ever try to carry all your books in an over the shoulder bag? It can really hurt when it’s heavy and it isn’t very good for the spine.

Jansport bookbags have very comfortable shoulder straps that are easily adjustable to help carry the weight. The shoulder straps are thick, cushioned, and fit great on kids shoulders. The bookbags themselves are very sturdy, made of the kind of material that will last all their banging against walls and dropping into puddles. Jansport bookbags last for years, I have one myself from high school that is still in fantastic condition 10 years later.

The important thing is, if you ever feel that your kids is carrying too much, your instincts may be right. In high school many students get lockers, but in elementary school they don’t. See if it is OK with teachers for your child to leave their books in class, making it easier to carry every day! It’s important to keep your kid safe and healthy!
