Back packs and oles

My sons, because they are on the short side, tend to let their back packs drag on the ground sometimes. Looking for advice on some good back pack options that have a sturdier bottom that will last a while. Please include where you purchased them, Thanks!!

 

Lands End has some nice ones.  My kids just finished their 2nd full year with them with no issues.

 

I would agree with Lands End and LL Bean for making very sturdy backpacks.

 

Thanks I will have to check them out! BTW how do you edit a post? It was supposed to be Holes not oles lol

 

I get LL Bean bags for my kids, they are lifetime guaranteed. 

 

LL Bean.. My girls are finishing 2nd grade and they are using the same backpacks I bought them at the beginning of PreK, and they have minimal wear.

 

another vote for LL Bean.

 

We still have the Land's End from Kindergarten and will use them again into 2nd grade. Still as good as new.

 

LLBean-what size do you get? They ever have a sale/free shipping, etc? I'm going to get three of them. Annabella's is currently being held together by duct tape. Anthony's didn't last three months. Nicholas is still ok. But, I'm going with LLBean and their lifetime guarantee.

 

This is the one I got the girls when they were in Pre-K and is still going strong after finishing 2nd grade: http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/62783?feat=506219-GN2&page=l-l-bean-original-book-pack-print
 
And yes I bought them on sale (certain prints/ colors go on sale).  I'm actually going to get them this one for 3rd onward (hopefully though middle school!): http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/83529?feat=506219-GN2&page=l-l-bean-deluxe-plus-book-pack
 
Its bigger, has an outside side pocket for a water bottle, and my girls are complaining about the colors/patterns on their old bags.  We'll still be able to use the smaller bag for traveling though or pass them down to someone else.  

 

I'm going to get Jansports for my two. I believe they have a lifetime guarantee, too, and I had mine through high school and college. I think it's in the garage somewhere, come to think of it.

They are also a bit cheaper than some others.
