Back To School shopping can be hectic…there are so many different brands it’s hard to know what’s going to be the most durable, and give you the best value for your money. Five Star makes back to school shopping a little bit easier with their durable and innovate products, so no matter what age group you’re shopping for, you’re bound to find some great supplies that you and your kids just can’t live without.
It’s no secret that Five Star Backpacks are some of the best backpacks around. They are durable enough to handle young kids, while still being able to stay age appropriate for the older kids as well. We fell in love with the Five Star Expandable Backpack last year and were pleased to see the same durable, functional design available again this year. This backpack is (still) by far the coolest backpack I think I’ve ever seen. It has multiple expanding sections that open like luggage to give you extra storage space up to 7″. The main compartment has a zipper that runs down the length of the side so you can easily get what you need from your backpack if it’s hanging in your locker.
Five Star Expandable Backpack Features:
- Ergonomic straps distribute the weight of the backpack to make it easy to comfortably carry a heavy load. Loop on the top to hang backpack in locker
- Expandable – the main compartment of the backpack expands for up to 4″ of extra storage space for textbooks, zipper binders and more

- Side, exterior pocket is perfect for holding a water bottle

The Five Star 2 inch Vertical Flip Zipper Binder is the perfect addition to any backpack that needs some organization. My oldest son is entering high school this year and this binder will be absolutely key to keeping his assignments in order so they can get completed and turned in on time. The vertical file is quite possibly the most brilliant addition to a binder I’ve ever seen…where was this when I was in high school?
