While summer is still blazing away, back-to-school season is coming fast upon us. The one school accessory every kid needs is a sturdy backpack, and right now, one of our favorites is discounted by as much as 71%. The Rockland classic backpack can be found on Amazon for $17, a $43 savings. 

This biggest discount is on the large size and includes two colors, charcoal and acu camo, both of which are $17. Other variants, like polka dot, pink and navy, are also on sale from $22 to $48. Just remember, Amazon stock can vary wildly, so if you see one you want, grab it while it’s available.

The Rockland classic backpack features a padded laptop compartment and a USB port with a built-in charging cable. There’s plenty of space for lunch and other supplies, and there are two side pockets for water bottles. The overall design with padded straps aims to keep the pack as light as possible, since kids’ backpacks quickly become heavy with books, notebooks, school supplies and gym clothes. There’s even a sunglass holder on one of the straps.
