Herschel Supply Kids

Frequently Asked Questions

• What size Herschel kids' backpack is right for my child?

  For preschool and early elementary ages (roughly 3–7) the Heritage Kids Backpack in the 15L size is a common fit—roughly 11" wide x 4.75" deep x 17" high—with shorter straps and a smaller carry profile. Older children (about 8–12) usually move to the Heritage Youth Backpack at ~26L for extra books and gear; both offer adjustable straps and padded back panels to fine-tune fit.
• What materials and construction make Herschel kids' backpacks durable for school and play?

  Herschel uses EcoSystem recycled fabrics, 80/20 polyester/cotton blends and 70D nylon ripstop on many kids' styles for a balance of abrasion resistance and lightweight feel. Construction features like padded shoulder straps and backs, two-way zippers, reinforced attachment points, exterior zip pockets and stretch water-bottle pockets add everyday durability.
• How does the Heritage Kids Backpack compare to the Heritage Youth Backpack?

  The Heritage Kids Backpack is a compact 15L design sized for younger children, while the Heritage Youth Backpack expands to about 26L for older kids who need more books, folders, or sport extras. Both share Heritage styling and core features—padded straps, exterior pockets and durable fabrics—but the Youth model provides more interior volume and longer strap drops for growing kids.
• What organizational features do Herschel kids' backpacks include for school and everyday use?

  Most Heritage kids' styles have a roomy main compartment plus exterior zip pockets for small essentials, stretch bottle pockets on the sides, and internal pockets to help separate snacks or stationery. Some models are packable and stuff into an interior pocket for travel, and padded shoulder/back panels keep contents comfortable for daily wear.
