Lands’ End built a better backpack

With all this talk of back-to-school, I know that all of you pretty people already have a handle on the backpack situation, right? You invested in a sturdy pack with a great warranty and your kid is ready to go? You… didn’t? Or that old backpack has finally given up the ghost? Well, fear not!

Enter the Lands’ End back-to-school experts. They’ve got it all—pack, clothes, uniforms, shoes—and they’re always coming up with new stuff, too. Why, just take a look at this MultiTask Backpack that I love so much I sort of want to marry it. It’s got a separate compartment for shoes! A “stash panel” for a jacket! A million little features that make life more wonderful, and at the heart of it all, it’s still a Lands’ End product with the assurance that it is “Guaranteed. Period.”

You could buy this pack—currently on special for $34.50—or you could try your luck at winning one from me and the pretty, pretty folks at Lands’ End. One lucky Want Not reader is going to receive the MultiTask Backpack absolutely free, and you get to pick the color, too. (I’m partial to berry. Too bad I’m not eligible to win.) Want it? Simply leave a comment on this post by 3:00 p.m. Eastern (noon Pacific) on Wednesday, August 6th, 2008. One comment per person, valid email address required, sob stories about the sad state of your current, inferior backpacks are optional. Winner to be determined by random number generation and maximum load.

(Psssst! Want to do a little shopping while you wait? During this contest you can use code BACKTOSCHOOL with PIN 2382 to ship your Lands’ End order for free!)

    Pretty Mir – I think I’m in love as well. But will it work for a 49 year old woman taking a French class in the spring?

    Shut! Up! I was dazzled by the wonders of such a backpack and then – we could win one?!!! I NEEEEEEEEED one! My kids can get their own bags! They don’t need to carry around extra shoes! In fact, they give whatever they ARE carrying to me to carry FOR them, so obviously, this bag is rightfully mine. :)

    My daughters back pack is in the saddest shape. I think we lost a million pencils from the holes…..We have not found one that the 2 of us can agree on so we have not bought one…but what better than a free one without Bratz or My Little Pony on it! I am not a big fan of character things:)

    Gosh I love lands end. I want the backpack.

    But can you use your pull with LE to decry the loss of the Do It All Diaper Bag? That thing is the best bag ever if you have two kids in diapers or use cloth and need extra space. And while I know mine will never die, I wish I could recommend it to other people still. *cries, shakes fist at heavens*

    My last one gave up the ghost after the cat peed on it and I tried to clean it. Yeah, they have a good warranty and all, but I felt a little guilty asking them to compensate for my annoying little pet. I’d love to have a new one, even though I’m not in school. They have the perfect compartments for overnights at grandpa’s too.

    This would be great to haul all of my geek tools with me when I volunteer. The backpack I’m currently using is 15 years old and literally falling to pieces. I think I can see it cringing when I reach for it every Monday night… And I may just need to order one anyway because if I can get a bicycle helmet in that stash panel, this bag will be perfect for running errands!

    Thanks Mir!

    Why is olive “vintage”, I wonder? I mean, if they really want a vintage color, wouldn’t it be mustard yellow? or even black and white?

    I ordered two backpacks from Lands End an hour before this post and banged my head against my desk about the squandered free shipping. If only my younger son had deliberated until after lunch about which color to choose!

    But then I asked myself, what would Mir do, and went back to the Lands End website with my order number handy, used the live chat feature, and asked if I could use the coupon code anyway. They said yes! Perhaps you and your pretty readers already know that his could be done but in any event thanks for the code and for the “it can’t hurt to ask” philosophy.

    Our family could use this backpack so that the next time Dad has to go to camp with middle child, he doesn’t have to take the daughter’s cast off PINK backpack as his own. Good thing he’s colorblind. The rest of the world isn’t, however, and we could use a nice blue or green or red backpack. Thanks, Mir!

    #306 pretty please! It will give me a good reason to take back the ugly backpack my daughter insisted upon! Or maybe keep for myself! :) Option #2 seems a little better than option #1, don’t you think? Who needs back to school, when there is so much more need to get back to the gym! With this backpack, I could…well, the possibilities are endless! Thanks!
