F Gear designed the F Gear Colour Buddy 12L Black Unicorn Kids Backpack (₹659) for school-goers — light, colourful and built to keep up with busy school days. We assessed comfort for small shoulders, build quality and everyday practicality.
A schoolbag that lasts the year, which is a higher bar than it sounds.
Build & durability
It's made to last a school year — sturdy fabric, a reinforced base and smooth, dependable zips. Prints are bright and stayed put through regular use and wiping.
Size & fit for kids
The 12L capacity suits primary-school loads, and the light build matters: empty, it barely adds weight, so a full bag stays manageable. Straps adjust down small and stay padded where they press.
Everyday practicality
Wide openings make it easy for kids to find their things, side pockets take a bottle, and the whole bag wipes clean after the usual spills. Little details that make school mornings smoother.
