With our list of long-lasting black backpacks for school, you will save a few dollars by not having to purchase a new school backpack every year.
When choosing the right black backpack for all your school needs, the dimensions, shoulder and back padding, color, and number of pockets are essential details you must consider. They may not seem important, but keep reading to understand why they matter.
Investing in a higher-quality backpack for school in 2008 from The North Face is one of my best decision to date. It was army green with bright orange accents (do not recommend) and had only two zipper pockets and a dense yet comfortable shoulder and back padding.
I used that backpack every day throughout high school and college for seven years. Fast forward to 10 years later, and my mom now uses it as an extra carry-on backpack for work.
Below is our list of the best long-lasting black backpacks for school, to help make your back-to-school shopping easier and faster.

How to pick the perfect black backpack for school
There are so many important details to pay attention to when shopping for a new long-lasting black backpack for school so take a look at our list below.
- Please make sure there is an inner sleeve to hold your laptop.
- Always think about multi-use. You must be able to use your backpack for school, camping, traveling, etc.
- The main compartment of your backpack must be spacious enough to fit your notebooks, folders, and binders, so pay close attention to your backpack’s dimensions to ensure that it’s suitable for all your needs.
- Ensure your backpack comes with shoulder and back padding to help prevent bad posture and spinal issues.
- There must be side pockets to hold your water bottle, phone, or any item you want easily accessible.
Reasons to get a black backpack for school
Getting a long-lasting black backpack for school can make life so much easier. Here are some of our reasons why a black backpack just makes sense;
- Black goes with everything. The first ever long-lasting backpack I invested in was army green which did not match my uniform. Black is a neutral and versatile color, so as your uniform or style evolves with time, your black backpack will always match your style.
- Stains are not easily visible. Your school backpack is the one item you use for school daily, which causes it to get dirty. With a black backpack, stains, and filth that builds up over time through constant use won’t be easily visible.
- Black is extremely versatile. With a black backpack, you can use it for many occasions, and events. You can use it for school, camping trips, as a gym backpack, or as an extra carry-on when traveling.
