One Strap Backpacks for Tween Girls

A one strap backpack isn't a good choice as a main school book bag, as the style is smaller than a normal backpack, and will not adequately hold the typical sizes and quantities of school books a middle school student can expect to receive at the outset of the school year.  However, as a secondary tote, this is a nice, lightweight style, and makes a lot of sense, given the manner in which many middle school students, and older tend to carry a backpack slung over one shoulder.

A one strap backpack can serve as a nice alternative to a handbag or gym bag, and is a great way to keep physical education clothes separate from other academic materials.  The sling style bag is also a great lightweight travel bag, perfect for a day trip during the summer, or on a weekend.

Hurley School Bags for Middle School Boys

If you are hunting for a great backpack for your middle schooler, you know that there can be limited options in stores.  Too old for character school bags, and sensitive to social influences, tween boys don't seem to have a lot of room for fashion expression in this realm.  However, there are many brands that create simple styles of backpacks and school bags, well suited to the middle school boy, and to teens as well.  Hurley Backpacks provide several viable tween school bag choices.
