How do kids carry snow suits, boots, gloves, and hats to and from school? Is there a bag for that?

My kids have backpacks full of papers and need bags to carry, sometimes wet, snow stuff. Plastic bags just keep ripping. I got some canvas bags that worked great when they were smaller, but now they just can't hold everything.

Answer
my kids have mesh bags so the water drips out. can't remember where i found them online, but they come in multiple colors (to keep kids' stuff straight); are big enough to hold boots, snowpants, mittens, hat, and ice skating helmet if needed; have a drawstring closure; and can be slung over the kids' shoulders (except they don't work well for my 4-year-old because she's so short they end up dragging on the ground).

When did kids start wearing backpacks to school?

In movies dated in the 1960-70s, you always see students carrying their books in a stack, even when they're walking from school to home. It has me wondering if backpacks were around back then.
So when were backpacks invented, and when did students start using them to carry their books?

Answer
Late 70's and early 80's is when we see the school backpack come into style.

Before that backpacks were big hulking things only used for camping and outdoor adventures. They date back to the 1800's and probably even before that. This was due to the rigid frames most people thought you needed to distribute the weight. Eventually, somebody came up with the knapsack (early 20th century or there abouts) and it only took a few decades to get the knapsack renamed a bookbag.
