Ergonomics

Weighing under 1 kg and with the help of our adjustable back system and chest strap, our schoolbags are always a perfect fit and support the growth of every child.

All Herlitz back paddings are ergonomically shaped and breathable, ensuring excellent wearing comfort. Adjustable shoulder straps allow for individual adjustment.

The height-adjustable chest strap keeps the shoulder straps in the correct position. After ergonomic tests, the German Institute for Health and Ergonomics recommends the models SoftLight and FiloLight.
