It's peak summer, but many students are already preparing for back-to-school season. And whether they're entering high school or their junior year of college, it might be time for a new backpack.
Luckily, a Good Housekeeping favorite is on sale today for 45% off. The highly rated Matein backpack is now just under $19— the cheapest we've seen it since our last recorded record-low price of $20.89 in September 2025.
The Textiles Lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute have named the Matein Travel Laptop Backpack as the best value backpack in the following categories: laptop backpacks for women, anti-theft backpacks , and college backpacks .
Our experts praised the backpack's features for comfort, organization, and even security. Not only is it designed with soft, cushioned straps, but it's also built with a padded laptop case and has various compartments and pockets.
Our Lab pros also love that there's a hidden, zippered anti-theft compartment in the back of the backpack that's "ideal" for personal items. (Think passports, credit cards, etc.)
And in my opinion, one of the most convenient features of this backpack is the built-in USB port that makes it simple to charge your phone on the go. The backpack itself doesn't include a battery pack (you'll need to provide that along with necessary cables)—but once it's set up, you'll have immediate access to your power bank without needing to unzip any compartments or dig through any pockets.
For under $19, it's an ideal back-to-school purchase for anyone in need of an upgrade, and it'd be smart to snag this deal before school starts!
