A kids backpack designed for school and everyday adventures

Dakine Mission Youth 18L is a compact backpack designed for younger users who need enough space for school books, everyday essentials and electronics without carrying an oversized bag.

The large zippered main compartment gives you room for books and other daily items, while a separate sleeve keeps a tablet or laptop apart from the rest of the contents.

A second organiser compartment includes smaller sections for pens, pencils and loose accessories, making it easier to keep school essentials in order.

Why choose the Dakine Mission Youth 18L?

School essentials are easier to organise. The main compartment handles larger items, while the organiser section keeps smaller accessories in their own place.

A tablet or laptop gets a dedicated sleeve. This keeps electronics separate from books and other items inside the backpack.

The shoulder straps are designed for younger users. Their anatomical shape and breathable mesh construction help make the backpack more comfortable to wear throughout the day.

The adjustable sternum strap helps stabilise the backpack. It also includes an integrated safety whistle for added practicality on the way to school or during trips.

Reflective details improve visibility. They are especially useful during darker mornings, evenings or low-light conditions.

Side mesh pockets give quick access to drinks. They are suitable for a water bottle or flask without taking up space inside the main compartment.

Extra cargo straps add more carrying options. The buckle-fastened straps can be used to secure additional items on the outside of the backpack.

Built for school days, trips and everyday use

With an 18-litre capacity and dimensions of 43 × 26 × 17 cm, Mission Youth offers a practical size for younger users. It is large enough for school essentials but still compact enough for everyday carrying.

The reinforced base helps protect the bottom of the backpack during regular use, while the internal name label makes it easier to identify at school, on trips or during activities.
