YLX Hemlock Backpack (S) | Kids | Black & White Damier

Smaller than the original and intended for younger children, this version of our Hemlock backpack for kids does not include the built-in side water bottle pocket. Instead, it features a spacious and solid half zip the main compartment for your little tot to fill with everything from school books and snacks to toys and tablets. Made out of sturdy 100% RPET material, the exterior fabric, and inner lining are equally resistant to wear. A classic choice for preschoolers and kindergarteners, the child-sized backpack comes outfitted with a zippered front pouch, top handle, split double zipper, and adjustable shoulder straps.
