A favourite brand of lots of boys, Hackett as sponsors of Aston Martin have brought out this sturdy rucksack which serves as a great school bag or overnight bag.

The padded straps are adjustable for comfort and posture, and there is a thick padded grip handle on the top for carrying short distances or when the bag isn’t heavy.  A large inner compartment has plenty of space for school books and pencil cases etc, and there are some slots for organising smaller items too.  Externally, there is a zipped pocket which is ideal for items that need to be ready to hand, eg bus passes etc.

Overall the bag measures 42cm x 34cm x 15cm, and is a nice compact bag.
