Wasn't it just yesterday we were setting off fireworks for the 4th of July? All of a sudden it's August and Summer fun is beginning to draw a close. In the next few weeks, all the kiddies will head back to school. Whether or not that's good news probably has a lot to do with whether you're a kid or that kid's parent.

Regardless, school days beckon, so the Back to School sales are starting up. And for the K-12 set, one item combines form and function more than any other. That item, of course, it the backpack.

Whether last year's is worn out from toting 40 lbs. of textbooks or just hopelessly out of style, if it's new backpack season, here's a deal for you:

Rocky Mountain Trail has got a pretty huge selection of bookbags with discounts from 20-60% off. It includes backpacks, roller bags, and messenger bags from JanSport, Columbia, High Sierra, Marmot and others. Plus, there's free shipping on orders over $35.
