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

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!

This was a gift for my college age, son. High-quality, durable, waterproof. Holds everything he needs for school, and will be a great travel bag as well.

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)

This backpack is the perfect midsize backpack for my teenage son. We all know how rough teenagers can be on items, so this is adorable backpack was a must! We will no longer have to replace it every single school year.

Used daily and is well made holding up well. Material is stiff, but good quality.

Good size and build. Easily recomend it.

Thought it would be bigger but I just don't know my sizes, great bag though

I love it.. so many pockets
