Decathlon has cut the price of an Adidas school backpack by 50% as part of its new 'Middle Aisle' sale. The Adidas 27.5L Backpack in light ochre, originally £29.99, is now £14.99.
The lightweight everyday bag offers a 27.5-litre capacity, measuring 15cm x 31cm x 44cm, enough to carry A4 folders, books, PE kit and lunch. It features multiple storage compartments, a side pocket for water bottles and adjustable padded shoulder straps.
Shoppers can also buy the beige colourway for £19.99, down from £29.99, while black and purple options have been reduced from £25.99 to £15.99.
Parent reviews praise value
The backpack has an overall rating of 4.7 from parents. One said: “Super lightweight and with a handy inner pocket for organising files and water bottle holders on the sides, I don't regret my purchase.”
Another commented: “I bought it for my son for school and to be honest, it's holding up really well to wear and tear. Very good quality.” A third added: “It's very spacious, it fits a lot of things. My daughter takes it to school with her Chromebook inside.”
Some found the lack of internal compartments disappointing. One review said: “Simple and lightweight backpack for everyday wear. Too bad it lacks internal compartments. Pleasant and timeless look.” Another noted: “Great for the start of the school year. Large capacity at this price, you might as well get two for next year.”
