Made out of 100% RPET material, the outer fabric, and inner lining are both crafted to endure the rigors of daily use. Strong and sturdy, the premium grade textile from which the backpack is made will maintain its integrity throughout the entire school year and more. Finished with adjustable shoulder straps that have been enhanced with padding and an interior side pocket for securely packing water bottles, the child-sized backpack caters to the comforts of active school-aged kiddos.
