The adidas Three Stripe Backpack has been cut from £24.99 to £14.99 at Decathlon, giving buyers a saving of £10. The rucksack, available in three colours, has been praised for being the ideal size for school while also doubling up as a brilliant cabin bag for flights.
Features and capacity
The bag is fitted with several compartments designed to keep belongings neatly organised. These include a spacious main section, a handy front zip pocket perfect for keeping smaller essentials such as keys, a phone, a wallet, or travel documents within easy reach, along with a side pocket for a water bottle.
The rucksack features padded shoulder straps, adjustable fastenings and an ergonomic carry handle, guaranteeing comfortable use throughout the day. It also boasts an impressive 27.5-litre capacity, offering ample space for textbooks, sports kit, gym gear or everything needed for a full day out, reports the Daily Star.
Alternative option and shopper reviews
For those in need of something larger, this Levi's L-pack Large Backpack has also been reduced, dropping to £25 from £50. It is equally well-regarded by customers, with one remarking: "Light and roomy, a massive upgrade on my previous backpacks and such a great price, excellent."
The offer forms part of Decathlon's Middle Aisle drop, designed to ease the financial strain many parents face during the annual back-to-school season. The initiative follows recent figures revealing that 45% of shoppers are now seeking out more budget-conscious options.
The adidas Backpack has earned an impressive 4.7-star rating on Decathlon, with enthusiastic reviews flooding in from customers across Europe (translated into English below). One delighted shopper noted: "Super lightweight bag with a handy inner pocket for organising files and water bottle holders on the sides, I don't regret my purchase."
Another added: "My daughter's favourite backpack. Large, packable, and machine washable." A third remarked: "A good backpack for everyday walking as well as for packing things for the gym."
Waterproof warning and positive feedback
One reviewer did flag, however, that the bag is not waterproof. For those likely to be caught in a downpour, Stubble and Co.'s Roll Top bag (£120) may prove a wiser choice, as it is made from robust waterproof materials offering greater protection against the weather.
On a more encouraging note, one adidas fan commented: "Sized for an extra accessory on a plane, in addition to carry-on luggage. Lightweight, it fits easily in your suitcase just in case. Perfect for everyday use."
Elsewhere, another customer observed: "It's very spacious, it fits a lot of things. My daughter takes it to school with her Chromebook inside." Another person added: "I couldn't have made a better choice. I use it for the gym, and it fits everything. Plus, it seems to be good quality."
