JanSport Big Student Backpack-School, Travel, or Work Bookbag-with 15-Inch-Laptop Compartment, Black, One Size

I thought this would be durable and spacious. It is neither. The laptop compartment was flimsy, without the usual padding. The piece of fabric separating the compartments was thin, see-though and seemed vulnerable to tearing. My previous Jansport backpack was much more rugged and durable. Such a lower quality backpack than prior purchases 5-10 years ago. Probably appropriate for grade school students but not for college students carrying heavy books or for traveling.

Love it I ordered it for back to school this year and it has even more room in person!

Be careful ordering this. The construction seems fine, but we received a different color then ordered, and the Jansport patch is upside down. Not sure it I will keep it, as it is for my daughter, so its up to her. I paid a lot for shipping as the color she originally wanted was only available from non prime sellers. I wont make that mistake again.

My dog ate the straps off the first day we had the backpack.

This backpack has tons of pockets and a great sleeve/area for a laptop. I had a high end backpack that I have always worried someone would steal from the beach or pool because they wanted the backpack itself. This standard classic JanSport backpack is perfect to take to the pool or beach or school or to use as an overnight bag or carry on. I have only had it for a few months, but it seems super durable and sturdy. It is not a super exciting thing to review, but I have nothing but positive things to say about this classic backpack

I LOVE all jansport products. I have had bags last for many many years even with using them on a daily basis. I have been a fan of this brand for over 30 years. This bag will take some wearing to get it broke in a little so it is not so stiff but it is amazing and totally worth the money.

I can confirm that this product is NOT an authentic JanSport product. It is COUNTERFEIT. I purchased this backpack in September of 2022. The zipper broke a month later, so I contacted JanSport to check for warranty information. Per JanSport policy, I paid out of pocket to ship it to the warranty center in Uvalde, Tx. I received the backpack a few weeks later, un-repaired, with a note stating the following, WE ARE SORRY TO HAVE TO INFORM YOU THAT YOUR BACKPACK IS NOT AN AUTHENTIC PRODUCT MADE BY JANSPORT. IT IS AN IMITATION. AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY (see picture attached).

I had to get rid of my original Jansport from the early 2000s since the inside was shedding some funky worn down material. While I like all the pockets and space on the new version, they clearly don’t make them as sturdy and heavy-duty as they used to. Hoping this one holds up for at least half as long as my 20-year-old backpack did. But with the flimsy feeling material inside and out and the cheap zippers, I’m not counting on it.

The bookbag was great for my 6th grade daughter while it lasted. I bought these knowing jansport lasted a long time when I got mine at her age. This one didnt even last one school year before one of the straps broke.

This was a gift for a young girl whos mother could no afford a backpack ,I purchase it for her she was very happy with the product I dont understand why the heads of Amazon and other large companies spent Billions flying into space instead of helping the less fortunate
