Would this make a good backpack for a middle schooler carrying thick binders and books?

I believe it would, I was impressed by the size, actually have a smaller one for work and this bigger one for hunting.

In my opinion it would not make a good pack pack for school. There are many others out there that are less expensive and lighter weight.

i use it mostly for hiking here at summer camp, it holds bingers and folders well and is very comfortable soo yes it can hold the weight of thick binders and books

Notebooks and pad papers will fit but I don't think the large thick binders would fit. I'd use a regular backpack for those large thick binders.

Yes, it's plenty big enough to fit two-three text books, AND a 1inch binder. OR lots of spirals. OR two-three 1.5inch binders. :) Hope this helps!

I carry my laptop, ipad, charger, pens, office supplies, etc. In addition I carry two binders about 1" thick and everything fits fine. I have an old Dell laptop that is pretty thick and heavy so if you have a MBP you should be fine with that and a couple of books plus school supplies. It's a very nice comfortable bag.

It is great for travel but may be a bit bulky for school. I think you could find one better suited for that situation. That being said, I LOVE this backpack!

Depends on the size of the binders and laptop. If it's a 15 incher you should be fine. You might want a bigger backpack if the binders are bigger, though.

It is large enough for "major" (30+ lbs) of books but I suspect that it would wear out over a year of constantly carrying such a load. A smaller pack would be better,

I would love this as a high school backpack. Plenty of expandability if you need more room with the molle system

It is certainly large enough for a school backpack, but it is on the heavy side for a young child. I would recommend for a teenager.

I think it would be a good bag because of the several different pockets. However, if you will be carrying a lot of books back and forth, it may be not be the backbag for you. I remember my kids in high school having a lot of heavy books and this is not quite large or sturdy enough for that much weight. You would be better off with a bag from LLBean or Lands' End.

Quick answer...yes. This bag is super cool...but is rather heavy. Backpack ability should aid in the weight distribution. For college book use, however, keep in mind that it does not zip close, but rather, you'd have to buckle the straps at each opening and closing. That said, it is cool, beautifully made, and very "Ralph Laurenish" and also very large in capacity.

It would definitely be big enough, perfect if you need to carry some books also. The pack is a great value with lots space. I carry only a 10" tablet so I now mostly use a smaller pack for EDC but keep this one in reserve for when I need more space. The hydration pocket is where I would put the laptop since it would be protected.

Probably not. May fit a MacBook 13 and one textbook. Won't fit 3 ring binder. So unless you only carry a small laptop and occasional book you should opt for something else

My daughter never wore it as a backpack ... it was too large for that for her. (She's in 6th grade.) At her school they only have half-size lockers and she doesn't even use it there anymore, it just doesn't fit in the locker.

Yes the pack was for my son and it can carry a lot. He uses it for school , books, laptop& his hoodie/sweater all can fit inside. I guess it will depend on the size or thickness of the jacket

Probably would work. It is a little smaller than a larger backpack. My 9 year old grandson loves it even though it is a little big for him

Possibly but you need to check the dimensions. If you're talking about regular school and a lot textbooks than that is a no, not wide enough. Size is more comparable to a concealed weapon pack in my opinion.You would look more to those desert packs and Alice packs without the frames
