I don’t know where you live, but here in Florida we’re on a ONE WEEK countdown to kindergarten. One week gives me not too much time to get ready for school supplies, earlier wake-ups, new teacher, classroom, and the hundreds of other tiny details to make the first day of school as stress free (and tear free) as possible. So for the next couple of weeks, I’ll be covering a lot of Back to School stuff, from the littlest kids to the ones you’re getting ready to send to college and beyond.
One important part of back to school gear is, of course, the backpack. For the past two years we’ve had to buy new packs, after the old ones seem to fall apart at the end of the year and are unrecyclable. I’m also not a big fan of character backpacks, so it was a pleasure to find Ecogear/Ecotech bags. For this giveaway, Ecogear/Ecotech has every kid covered, with organic fabrics and PVC-free materials for their unique, roomy and totally rugged bags for tots to teens and beyond. They’ve even patented a new material, called Ecoweave, which is clean to recycle and toxin-free. My husband has even belted the Snow Leopard around his waist when he’s on his scooter! Ecogear/Ecotech has a ton of new products coming out in coming months, so keep checking back about your favorites!
We’re going to have two winners this week! One winner will have their choice of either a Snow Leopard, Movhave Tui or Bighorn big kid pack from the Ecotech line. For the younger set, one winner can choose their favorite color of the Panda backpack from Ecogear. Please leave a comment at this post with your preference of backpack and what other bags you think would look good stuffed with books, sports gear or anything else your kid lug around with them!
This giveaway will be open for one week, until Monday, August 18th at midnight PST. Good luck!
This contest is now closed! Thanks for entering!
Oh the panda backpack would be great. I think for a older child the snow leapord would be the one I would pick.
I know my daughter would love to have one of the flamingo Panda bags to start first grade with! I also think the Gorilla messenger bags are cute too-that would be perfect for summer camp with all her goodies in it minus the books of course!

I like the Bighorn back pack! Thanks!
Definitely the Panda backpack in pink (flamingo)! My little girl will just LOVE it, especially because she loves bags and if its in pink, even more. I’d love it if she can win this backpack.
I really like the Mohave Tui in Slate/Ebony but I think for our house the Panda backpack in Grass would be best!
Panda for my daughter, for sure. And I also like the Gorilla messenger bags.
I think I like them all! I prefer the Bighorn.
Either one…Ava isn’t picky at all
I would love the panda backpack in grass
I think the grass colored Panda bag is adorable. It looks so soft.
I’d love to win the Panda. The Gorilla is adorable, too!
The Panda backpack in Azure which is my granddaughter’s favorite color. The Bighorn would be good for my grandson.
my son would love the bighorn backpack, and it’s big enough to carry all of his extra books for reading!
I would love either bookbag. The snow leopard would be great for my 5 year old, but the panda would be great for my 2 or 3 year old. Great bags:)

As a teenage student myself, I would like the snow leopard one!
I like the Panda backpack in grass-very cute. Another bag I think my daughter would love is the Gorilla in Flamingo.
I do like the Snow Leopard bag, it looks very durable and roomy. I also think the Bighorn bag would be nice. Lots of nice eco-friendly options! Thanks for offering the giveaway.
I’d choose the Panda in green for my little peanut. I also love the new animal bags, and the kids messenger bag. All the adult bags are great, too!
Well, I ‘ve got a big kid so the Snow Leopard in Black would be fantastic! I also like those Gorilla bags; they have extremely nice bags there. The kiddy zoo ones are adorable!

The Red Snow Leopard is pretty awesome! The Natural Gorilla is my other fave.
The Movhave Tui would be perfect for my bike to work everymorning. I like the water proof zipper as mine now lets in water around the edges! The Tiger bags are also too cute for kiddos. I am a huge fan of the Zoo collection as well.
Through my job, we provide kiddos on local Green Teams at all the elementary schools with recycled PET bags at the beginning of the school year, but they are far less exciting and cute as these bags. Great find!!
The Snow Leopard is my favorite. I love the names of these! The Tiger would also be great for our laptop. Hooray for classy, eco-bags! Thanks!
great site!!! the pink panda bag would be a big hit for my kindergartener. what a great promo it would be since we’re starting the eco-freindly products and recycling program at her school. also, love the flamingo palila bag….how great that it’s made of recycled bottles! wish us luck!!!!
If I should be the lucky winner, I’d choose the pink color for the backpack from ecogear!!!!
Wow!! such a great giveaway to help those parents out there trying to get stuff for kids before their big day!!! Thank you:)

Panda backpack

My favorite is the snow leapard bookbag. That one looks the best from all of them. I know this bag would be popular with my kids, just have to decide which child would get it. I’d have to have a random drawing of my own!

Definitely the Panda backpack in pink
I like the panda in grass and the mohave tui in slate/ebony. It would be hard to choose. I also like their lynx packs, I think they would be great to tote around at college too.
The Movhave Tui in Slate/Ebony
I love the Panda backpack in pink. My daughter is starting preschool soon and this would be great!
I like the snow leopard pack in blue or red. I think the bighorn looks good too for carrying lots of extra stuff.
My daughter isn’t home so I was having a tough time choosing. At 13 she can be pretty picky. I THINK she would like the Snow Leopard in blue. ![]()
I like the snow leopard. I love all the extra pockets for putting little things so they don’t get lost on the bottom.
I’d be happy with any of them honestly. I have three kids and a husband who wears a backpack to work everyday. The Movhave Tui is my first choice though!!
I like the SNOW LEOPARD

I like the “grass” Panda backpack for my son. The “Bighorn” backpack is awesome for older kids ![]()
snow leopard pack in red
My favorite is the Bighorn in blue - my favorite color. It would hold a ton of whatever you need to carry around for most any purpose! A precious bag for the younger set is the EcoZoo Puppy. Your child will be the envy of all their classmates when they carry any of these fantastic backpacks from Ecogear/ Ecotech. You can bet they’ll never forget their backpack at home when they have an Ecogear/ Ecotech bag that looks and functions so exceptionally!
My son would love the snow leopard thank you so very much this would come in so handy
My girl would love the Panda in flamingo, and I think the ecozoo animals are just TOO cute!

My daughter would love the Panda in Flamingo!
I think the MOHAVE TUI in slate/grey would be the most versatile for our household. We also believe that the Snow Leopard would hold alot of “stuff” and keep it safe.
The snow leopard bag is great! I like the Tiger Bags too! Thanks!!
We also live in florida and school starts monday unless the hurricane comes in harder then we think. With school starting, 2 weddings and a new grandson due any day money is tight to keep investing in new backpacks. My 16 yer old because of her classes has way to heavy of a backpack. I try to buy her one that is chic yet durable. Her favorite color is blue so I think the Bighorn in slate/ebony would be her favorite, and my son’s is green so he would most likely choose the Mandrill in grass color. Thank you for all your time, effort and energy you provide to make these contests possible so that we may win some awesome and much needed prizes.
