Win a Lands’ End Backpack for Back to School

I am sure you are familiar with this scene:
Your lovely child returns home form a long day at school, and as they run into the house, their backpack is thrown violently to the ground.
Poor backpacks; they take a lot of abuse.
Lands’ End introduced the Cordura StudyHaul Backpack, and it’s perfect for those children who are hard on their backpacks. It’s made of cordura nylon, which resists tears and abrasions better than other standard pack cloth. In fact, it’s three times more durable than standard polyester, and two times more durable than standard nylon.
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute calls the Cordura StudyHaul Backpack a “Grade-A Standout” and gives it the only perfect score for performance.
The Cordura StudyHaul Backpack features C shaped straps that make for a comfortable fit, especially for those students with many books to haul. Its side pockets, with organizational compartments, make storing school supplies a cinch, while keeping them in a handy location.
For the walk to and from the bus each day, the Cordura StudyHaul Backpack has a special pouch/cord port for MP3/CD players.
This sturdy and highly functional backpack can be yours. Lands’ End has provided us with one Cordura StudyHaul backpack in red, to give to one lucky reader.
To enter, please leave a comment below, and please make sure you have read and are following our Back to School Giveaway Guidelines.
This contest is open to both U.S. and Canada.
Good luck!

#4 - Sarah at themommylogues @ 7:54 am
I love this backpack. I haven’t bought my daughter a backpack yet, because I’m convinced I’m going to win one. This seems like poor planning on my part.

My little ones are too small for this but it would make a great diaper bag til one of them starts school! LOL
#22 - Deborah @ 9:36 am
My four children have owned Lands End backpacks over the years. They last a really long time. In fact, my two girls used the same backpack for both elementary school and middle school. But with all four in high school, I really could use another!

Lands End is one of my favorites! We could carry our library books in it.

Wow, that looks like a great backpack! And at least one of my four could really use a new one this year
#26 - Lisa @ JujuBoo @ 10:07 am
Last year we made the mistake of buying backpacks based on the cuteness factor. By mid-year the zippers had busted and the straps were frayed. We need a sturdy backpack around this house. Count me in

We need a good, sturdy backpack, we bought an ‘el cheapo’ to save money - and it ended up being a waste of money - that thing literally fell apart after just a few months!
#69 - Alexandra Hancock @ 3:51 pm
I am thinking this may be the diaper bad for me. Considering something has happened to the two previously owned. Note though that one was an actual diaper bag while the second, and current, one is a backpack i bought from sea world aka P.O.S.
#70 - HSB Suzanne @ 4:00 pm
I really like Lands’ End stuff… the backpacks are super durable! (I wish I knew where the one I had in college (over 15 years ago) is!)

My 10 year old surely could use this. She is starting a new school where I am told she will be bringing home massive amounts of homework/books every day requiring a durable/sturdy backpack, which we currently do not have. You could remedy this…I am so subtle.
#138 - Pamela @ 7:55 am
cool prize. My 11 year old girl loves red too!
#139 - mo @ 9:19 am
OH! Nice ! Much better han the walmart (no offence, my boy loves it, it’s camo print or GIJOE prnt as he calls is) but RED is his favorite color and he is hard on his backpacks so a lands end would be awsome !
