Back to School with Jansport Backpacks

It is “back to school” time once again and so thoughts are turning to purchasing our children’s uniforms, stocking up on stationery and buying backpacks, as we prepare them for their return to classes this September. OutdoorGB.com, who stock a range of outdoor equipment including fitness watches and sunglasses, have a range of hard-wearing and stylish children’s backpacks and rucksacks for sale, which are perfect for the new academic term.

Kids have a habit of being tough on their clothes and their belongings but they also want to impress their classmates with the latest gear. It can be difficult to combine both durability and style but the latest range of “back to school” bags and backpacks to purchase from OutdoorGB are both tough and good-looking – perfect for any child.

Edward Giles, Chief Executive of OutdoorGB.com who specialise in heart rate monitors and backpacks said, “Kids school bags have to be tough to cope with the rigours of books, dirty PE kits, shoes and the rough treatment they receive on a day to day basis. We now offer an affordable range of backpacks and rucksacks for kids of all ages and sizes which are not only extremely resilient but also come in a wide range of styles and colours.”

Jansports’ ‘Superbreak’ bag has been around for thirty years and is one of the company’s best-selling bags of all time. It may have been around thirty years, but the Superbreak Backpack keeps coming back year after year with updated colours in line with current fashion. With a good twenty five litre capacity the bag includes a large main compartment and a front utility pocket and organiser. The Superbreak bag features enough room for several textbooks, a ringbinder, books, a calculator, pencil case, lunch, mobile phone, sweatshirt and an mp3 player. OutdoorGB offer the Superbreak in sixteen colours from plain black to funky bright designs.

Another popular choice is the Jansport Beamer Laptop rucksack. This large backpack allows you to carry your laptop in comfort with clever weight dispersing support and a breathable mesh back. The Beamer Laptop Backpack has several compartments including a padded internal sleeve to fit a 15”4 laptop. The Rucksack also features a smart iPod/mp3 top entry zipped pocket with a music exit port for headphones.

Mr Giles added, “The perfect school bag or backpack should combine comfort, durability and style. For example, the Jansport Trinity Bag offers a large capacity for books and a laptop whilst being extremely comfortable due to the padded back, carry handle and foam shoulder straps. These bags are rugged enough for the roughest treatment whilst coming in a wide range of sizes and colours to suit any child.”

OutdoorGB, leading supplier of Ortlieb and Polar products, also point to the fantastic warranty offered on all Jansport Backpacks and Rucksacks. Jansport offer a thirty year warranty and during this time will repair (or if necessary, replace) any products with defects in the material or workmanship free of charge.

The Wondawedge Inflatable Lounger

Currently mesmerising and amazing all throughout the OutdoorGB office is this....

No, no, no, not the beach, but the blue thing on the beach. We won’t lie, the sight of golden sands and the blue sea along the coast of Australia does mesmerise and amaze us, a lot more than the view out of the window of grey skies and rain beating down off the dull car park, that’s for sure. But we haven’t got that, what we have got is the blue thing.....introducing the WondaWedge Inflatable Back Rest Lounger.

They say it’s the simple things in life that have the most impact, well in the case of our friend the Wondawedge that is very true. Boy is he simple, but like the majority of simpletons, being easily swayed and all, he has a lot of uses. The Wondawedge can be used just about anywhere, whether indoors or outdoors, for health or for recreation. Ideal for the beach as the picture shows (that we didn’t take!) or even our grey car park (which we did take, but won’t show as probably just describing it has depressed you.) However there is one key feature of all his uses....comfort.

We reckon that trip to the beach can be further enjoyed by bringing along your buddy, the WondaWedge. Cutting down what you have to carry, the WondaWedge stops the need for beach mats, loungers and deck chairs; instead you just need something that folds down to the size of a book, easily fitting into your bag. Inflating the WondaWedge is a breeze, no need for fancy pumps or air compressors, just good old human breath will bring it to life. From zero to hero, 1 minute the size of a book, the next minute big enough to sit on in complete comfort.

We have yet to take one, but the next festival we are going to, next month, a WondaWedge is coming along. We aren’t going to bother with camping chairs and stools, past experience from the long walk from the car park to the festival has taught us that no matter how small or compact they profess to fold, they still bash into you as you carry them, make other people angry as the chair bashes into them and are just generally awkward. Oh and camping chairs easily break, the fabric rips away from the frame far too easy, all it takes is you sitting down less than elegantly. The Wondawedge won’t break that easily, we aren’t saying it wont break (jumping on a lot of things destroys them) but it won’t break as suddenly and easily as them rip off folding chairs.

Although we said before the Wondawedge was simple, just like Dr Frankenstein and his monster, the creator isn’t. The WondaWedge was developed by physiotherapists to provide excellent lumbar back support and preserve spinal posture so is designed for health use too.

There are loads of things you can do with the WondaWedge, use it camping, at festivals, on the boat, when watching TV, by the pool, for recuperating with a bad back, for meditation, reading in bed, as a sleep aid, the list could keep going and going!
