Herlitz UltraLight Plus Blue Shark School Backpack, 16 L, Reflective
Product description
For a primary-school day with books, a pencil case and a sports kit, the Herlitz UltraLight Plus Blue Shark brings several essentials together. Its 16-litre capacity and included accessories make it more than a backpack on its own. If the priority is a lighter school bag with organised storage, its features are relevant, a larger load may call for more capacity.

Usage tips
The main compartment has an integrated book compartment, while two side pockets and a zipped front pocket give smaller items separate places. That layout should be useful for keeping books apart from everyday bits, rather than packing everything into one open space. The shoulder straps are adjustable, and the chest strap can be set to different heights, breathable back padding and additional padding at the neck are also specified. These adjustments matter when the bag is being set up for a child, as its position and comfort depend on how it is worn.
Reflective material is placed on the front, sides and shoulder straps, with another reflector on the fastening. It is a practical visibility feature for darker journeys, though it should be treated as an extra rather than a replacement for other road-safety measures. The product is described as having a water-repellent treatment and a sturdy base with plastic feet. That offers some help with damp conditions and everyday contact with the ground, but the details do not establish that the bag is waterproof.
It makes sense if you want a lightweight school set with built-in book organisation and matching carry items. It may not suit you if your school day requires more than the stated 16 litres of space, a larger-capacity bag would be the more relevant approach for a heavier load.
In the box
The listed set includes the backpack, an empty case with two flaps, an oval pencil case, a sports bag, a pompom and a removable Velcro appliqué. The pencil cases are supplied empty, so their contents need to be added separately. The appliqué offers a small personalisation option, while the extra bag can keep sports gear separate from books during the school day.
Before you decide
Can the straps be adjusted? Yes. The shoulder straps are adjustable, and the chest strap is height-adjustable, the back padding is described as breathable and ergonomic.
Where are the reflective details? They are listed on the front, sides and shoulder straps, with an additional reflector on the fastening.
Is the fabric waterproof? The description specifies a water-repellent treatment, not a waterproof rating. It may help in light wet conditions, but no stronger level of rain protection is stated.
Buying verdict
The UltraLight Plus is aimed at primary-school use where a 16-litre bag, separate book storage and a ready-made set are more useful than a bare backpack alone. Its 750 g weight, adjustable straps and reflective details are relevant everyday considerations, and the Blue Shark design gives it a clear look. Choose it when the included accessories and compact capacity suit the school routine, look at a roomier option if the child needs to carry a bulkier load. The Oeko-Tex certification is another documented detail for buyers considering the textiles.
