Five Star^® Backpack + Insulated Storage – Students often take their lunches, snacks, and drinks on-the-go to help power through their busy schedules. The Five Star^® Backpack + Insulated Storage gives students a vital place to safely keep their food without taking up coveted backpack real estate and the fear of a book-crushed PB&J or crumbly chips. In addition to keeping snacks and drinks cold, the patent-pending main compartment expands to create four inches of additional storage space, allowing students to quickly and easily find their supplies. The Five Star^® Backpack + Insulated Storage also features adjustable padded straps to provide support, a padded front panel for extra protection, and a separate padded compartment to keep laptops safe and secure. There are also several pockets in the front compartment to help keep smaller items organized, including a calculator, and a mesh side pocket to securely hold a water bottle.

Five Star^® Ultimate Tech Backpack – As technology increasingly integrates into the classroom, students struggle with keeping these items organized and protected. And with more than 94 percent of high school and college students storing tech items in their backpacks, students need an on-the-go solution to keep their devices charged and secured, keeping every cord organized.

The Five Star^® Ultimate Tech Backpack provides three external cord ports to keep cords untangled, whether charging several devices at once or listening to music on the go. The backpack also features earbud guides to secure and keep earbud cords tangle-free. The separate padded compartment secures and protects a laptop, while the padded front pockets store and protect smaller tech items.
