They have a large variety of LSU items to choose from. T-shirts, polos, hats, visors, stickers, magnets...they have it all. They do have Saints gear for those that love Black & Gold too! They always have something on sale too. Whether it's on sale or at regular price it's always a great value and worth supporting locally owned businesses!

I've been looking for a roof rack loader for my Pescador Perception so, since Thule and Yakima accessories are pretty much interchangeable, I Google search Thule and Yakima dealers in the area. Two popped up and The Backpacker was one of them. It's a dreary rainy day and lunch time. I managed to find the shop in spite of the lunch traffic on Jefferson Hwy. I parked and walked inside. I was immediately received with a friendly greeting by several of the staff with offers to help me. I told them I was "just looking around" and they left me to myself with me knowing if I needed any help they'd be there. I like that. I wandered around for about 30 minutes and I managed to find a few things. Some I needed and some I didn't know I needed. So, I carried my bounty to the register and was checking out. I asked the young man if they had a THule or Yakima kayak loader. He replied, " We don't have any T-hule loaders or Yakima loaders in stock." I always find it amusing when the folks in the outfitting shops do that. I'm not "Sveedish" so I'll continue to say "THule" LOL. In all seriousness, the shop is very comfortable and friendly. The staff are extremely helpful and not overbearing/pushy. I travel to BR often on business and I'll continue to stop by "The Backpacker" to find things I didn't know I needed. I'm convinced that if they don't have it, you don't really need it. Kudos to The Backpacker and the wonderful staff. - Rain Man "And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul." - John Muir

A few months ago I took my oldest kid on a trip to visit colleges throughout the state. We didn't hit them all, but we hit a bunch. Our journey started here are Louisiana's flagship university. Our first stop of course was Mike the Tiger since my kid follows him on instargram. Next to the tiger cage, is this shop so we walked over and checked it out. If LSU has gear that is not in this store, I would be shocked. This store was packed wall to wall with every type of branded merchandise possible. Shirts, hats, cups, lanyards, and so much more. There was an entire wall dedicated to hats. I found one I loved that I never pictured myself wearing, but I tried it on and realized it was the one for me. The only drawback was the price. It was $15 more in the store than it was online. Other merchandise was similarly priced as the online store so we stocked up for my kid and her sister. I bought the hat online. The staff seemed to be students or at least student aged. They were friendly and helpful. If you need some LSU gear, come here.
