Classic 25L Backpack Black

I recently purchased the Carhartt 25L Classic Backpack for my son, who just started college, and it has been an excellent choice. This backpack is not only stylish but also incredibly functional and durable, making it perfect for his busy campus life. Here’s why I highly recommend it: What We Loved: Durable and Water-Resistant Material: The backpack is made from 600-denier polyester with Rain Defender™ durable water repellent, which means it can handle unexpected rain or spills without damaging the contents inside. My son doesn’t have to worry about his books or laptop getting wet when walking across campus. Spacious Main Compartment: The large main compartment is perfect for carrying textbooks, notebooks, and other essentials. It’s roomy enough to fit everything he needs for a full day of classes. Dedicated Laptop Sleeve: The built-in 15-inch laptop sleeve is a standout feature. It keeps his laptop secure and protected, which is essential for a college student who relies on their computer for assignments and studying. Multiple Pockets for Organization: The backpack includes a large exterior pocket and two side pockets, which are great for organizing smaller items like chargers, water bottles, or snacks. My son loves how easy it is to keep everything in its place. Comfortable to Wear: The adjustable shoulder straps make it comfortable to carry, even when it’s fully loaded. My son has mentioned that it feels lightweight and doesn’t strain his shoulders, even after a long day. Stylish and Versatile: The sleek design and neutral colors make it suitable for both casual and professional settings. It’s a great all-around backpack that works for class, the gym, or even weekend trips. What Could Be Improved: The only minor downside is that the side pockets are a bit snug for larger water bottles, but they still work well for standard-sized bottles or smaller items. Final Thoughts: The Carhartt 25L Classic Backpack is a fantastic choice for college students or anyone looking for a durable, water-resistant, and functional backpack. It’s spacious, well-organized, and built to last, making it perfect for my son’s busy college life. He loves it, and I feel confident knowing he has a reliable bag to carry his essentials. Highly recommend for students or professionals who need a sturdy and stylish backpack!

I got this backpack because my boyfriend and I love hiking, but I needed something that would also work for school and my job in education—and this has been perfect for both. It’s incredibly versatile. I use it daily as a student and work backpack, and when we want to go hiking, I can easily swap out my school and work items and use the same bag outdoors without any issues. Everything is easy to organize, carry, and access. The material feels durable and well-made, clearly designed to handle both indoor and outdoor use. The straps are comfortable, the zippers feel sturdy, and it holds everything I need without feeling bulky or awkward. I also love that it has a simple, timeless look that works in professional settings but still feels appropriate for outdoor activities. It’s rare to find a backpack that transitions this well between everyday life and hiking, and this one truly does. If you’re looking for a backpack that can handle work, school, and outdoor adventures, this is a great option.

I bought this for my husband for Father’s Day as an everyday work backpack, and it’s exactly what he needed! It fits his laptop, charger, notebook, and even a full-size water bottle with no problem. The size is just right — compact enough to carry comfortably but roomy enough to hold all his office essentials. I chose the classic Carhartt color. It gives a professional look while also being casual and the material feels tough and built to last (as expected from Carhartt). He’s been using it daily with zero complaints so far.

This backpack was purchased 1 year ago and I use it as my daily commuter for work on public transit, and then for travel. I truly have no complaints. Its large, comfy, and honestly pretty cute in duck camo #justagirl. Carhartt has never let me down with the quality of their items. It's a great, spacious backpack, and it makes travel so much easier. I receive many compliments on it from people across the board.

I really like this backpack. I have used many over the years, and the last one I bought ended up having so many pockets I kept losing track of where things were - real overkill! This one has just the right amount of space for what I need, and my 13" laptop fits with plenty of room to spare. It feels durable and sturdy. Although I haven't had it long, I have used Carhartt products in the past and know the fabric lasts. Plus, I love the undeniable Carhartt adobe-brown color! The zippers are solid and smooth, although I don't love that there is a lip of fabric over them - I'm sure it's for security, but for my purposes, I'd rather the zippers be easier to grasp. It is comfortable to wear, and carry. I wore it in the rain a couple of times, and true to Carhartt's claims, the water ran right off. I am taking off one star because the bottom of the bag doesn't have much padding, and I felt a little uncomfortable putting my laptop in and plopping it down on the floor. I rolled up an old dish towel and put it in the bottom of the laptop pouch, and that does the trick, but to be perfect, it could use some cushioning down there. Overall, I'm very pleased with this backpack.

Sturdy, great quality and looks good

Ooo I love this one I gave it to my brother for his birthday because he loves Carhartt so I thought this was a perfect gift it’s a 10/10 for gifting for men and everything about is was perfect like the delivery and timing was perfect!!! I love this and you should get it for someone else or yourself:).

It is a $35 backpack selling for $70 because it says Carhartt on it. The material is nice and the construction are OK but the main zipper situation is terrible. When unzipped all the way it is hard to find the zipper pulls, I put zip ties on the ends. The bottle pockets on the sides are not adjustable, a bottle fits but would not fit if there were something like shoes in the bag.

Excelente mochila para el día a día, tiene lo necesario y es estética, muy buenos materiales, la recomiendo mucho

Item showed up on time and as described

形、素材、デザイン、どれをとっても文句なし。 かっこいいです。 頑丈でガシガシ使える感じです。

Es una mochila muy bonita, y el material se siente de muy buena calidad, me gustó mucho, la recomiendo bastante, un dato a tomar, solo tiene dos cierres, uno grande y el otro pequeño, para mí está más que bien

Wir haben diesen schwarzen Rucksack jetzt seit einiger Zeit im Einsatz und sind absolut zufrieden. Er ist ein echtes Multitalent und sieht zudem noch recht schick und zeitlos aus. Nutzung in der Schule: Der Rucksack bietet genügend Platz für Hefte, Bücher und Tablett. Besonders wichtig war uns das Laptop-/Tablet-Fach: Es ist gut gepolstert, sodass das Gerät sicher verstaut ist und nicht im Hauptfach hin- und herrutscht. Auch bei schwerer Beladung lässt er sich dank der angenehmen Schultergurte noch gut tragen. Freizeit & Sport: Nach der Schule wird er manchmal auch direkt weiter für den Sport genutzt oder für andere freizeitaktivitäten. Das Design ist schlicht genug, um zu jedem Outfit zu passen, aber robust genug, um auch mal am Spielfeldrand zu liegen. Selbst Sportkleidung und eine Trinkflasche finden problemlos neben den Schulsachen Platz. Qualität: Das Material wirkt bisher strapazierfähig und die Reißverschlüsse laufen flüssig, ohne zu haken. Da er komplett schwarz ist, sieht man Schmutz kaum – und wenn doch mal etwas dran ist, lässt er sich leicht abwischen. Fazit: Ein klasse Rucksack für alle, die ein zuverlässiges Modell für den Alltag suchen. Er kombiniert Funktionalität (besonders durch das Laptopfach) mit einem modernen Look. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
