The large orthopaedic school backpack

Sized for children aged 10 and up.

The frame does the work

A lightweight internal aluminium frame is contoured to the back, helping keep the load upright, stable and close to the body. A built-in chest strap and growth buckles keep the shoulder straps in place and the fit right as they grow.

A firm foundation

The moulded EVA base works with the frame to keep the bag structured and the load stable. It supports books, protects the bottom of the bag and keeps it standing upright when put down.

Comfort built into the back

High-density foam cushions the back and shoulders, while the Anatomic Air System and breathable contact fabrics promote airflow to help keep the back cooler.

Want extra load support?

Add an optional waist strap for additional load support and stability, particularly with heavier school loads. Sold separately.

A place for the phone

A dedicated phone pocket with a headphone outlet and protective rubber grommet.

Zips built for school life

Durable YKK zips provide reliable everyday use.

Made to be seen

Reflectors on all sides improve visibility in low light. A high-visibility reflective rain cover packs away when it's not needed.

Easy to keep clean

PU-coated fabric makes everyday marks easier to wipe clean.

Materials you can trust

Fabrics meet European REACH requirements for restricted chemicals.

Three-year guarantee.

Adventure ready

Each Hardbody bag comes standard with a high visibility, quick access rain cover that stores easily in its own pouch. With a handy mobile device pocket and precision-placed reflective patches, the Hardbody backpack puts the cool in school and adventure.

Ready for (bigger) adventures

The Hardbody bag is ready for big changes, that’s why each comes standard with a Growth Spurt Buckle as well as chest and waist straps to allow for size adjustments and to keep the bag fitting snug and supportive.

Stamp of approval

Quality and ergonomic support are paramount when it comes to Totem bags. That is why the SA Physio Association officially endorses the Hardbody bag. Totem bags are made to last. They’re also trusted by parents and loved by kids.

What fits inside

Claire Geldenhuys ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is my 3rd Totem bag purchase, and the best there is! The 1st I bought back in 2021, and my daughter is still using this same back in high school. Best value for money
Corne Farmer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Efficient and fast delivery of bags ordered. My daughter loves her new school bag!
Joey ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful strong bag for school for my son.
Natania Weideman ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My daughter loves the colour, enough space for her in high school and the quality is great. Very happy with our purchase.
Anisa Ussuph Laher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My son’s in high school this year and found himself needing a more spacious bag. As his books and files are quite heavy, my requirements were quite specific: a backpack that was large, strong, and most importantly, gentle on his back (lots of walking up and down stairs to get to classes). I found all three with Totem – plus lovely design options! My son loves it and on the first day mentioned that it didn’t hurt his back like the other bags did. Happy child. Super happy Mum. Special kudos to the excellent service from the Totem team.
