High Sierra: BTS Blowout {Review+Giveaway}

  One of the most important aspects of back to school is picking the right backpack. Finding the right backpack could mean the difference between a good school year and a great school year.  Backpack selection is always one of the very first items of business when back to school shopping for my girls, and they waste no time telling me what is acceptable and what is not.  One of first places we check out when shopping for backpacks is High Sierra.
I have been a fan of High Sierra for a while now; I love their selection of backpacks, the prices are affordable, and the durability of their backpacks (at least in my experience) is unmatched.  High Sierra Sports Company offers a wide variety of bags for adventure travel, business, active outdoor, luggage, school and more; if you are in the market for a bag chances are pretty good that High Sierra has it!  High Sierra’s line of Day Bags (perfect for school) has an array of styles, colors, and patterns for your little one (or you) to choose something absolutely perfect! 
I was so excited when I was given the opportunity to do a review for High Sierra, aside from the fact that I love their bags, I was so excited to tell all of you about them!  We received the Sheridan backpack for our review.  At this point I feel the need to mention again just how many styles of backpacks High Sierra has to choose from; Curve, Benson, Opie, Airhead, Wilder, Malcolm, Ziggy, Caldwell, and the list goes on and on.  When our package from High Sierra arrived I think I was as excited as my daughter was about opening the box.  As soon as we opened the box and my daughter saw the backpack she squealed with joy over how, “super cute” it was.  I have to admit, the backpack was adorable, but more than that the backpack looked super functional.

Aside from the backpack being fashionable I was surprised at how much room it had, the backpack was extra roomy without being too big and bulky for my petite 8 year old.  One of my favorite features of the Sheridan day bag is  definitely the multi-compartment design of the bag, there is room for anything and everything Savanna could want or need to take to school.  I also really like the fact that the day bag has padded shoulder straps, with as much as the kids are required to bring home with them from school these days the padded shoulder straps are a plus.  Of course, the most important aspect of a backpack is whether or not a child likes it, and Savanna loves this backpack. 
So if you’re in the market for a killer backpack for your kiddo for back to school this year, make sure you check out the large selection of affordable bags at High Sierra!  Also make sure to check out High Sierra’s Facebook page where you can find out about great deals, new products, and maybe even a contest or two!
