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

Bought for my daughter who needs a large, heavy duty backpack to hold a Chromebook and tons of binders. Durable, nice looking and comfortable on shoulder.

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.

I got this for my daughter. She is tough on things and this is a durable product that I expect to last through high school. It comes with a lifetime warranty so we shall see.

Looks great! Get so many compliments on this backpack. It is also built for lugging heavy books and folders. Very sturdy and durable. The shoulder strap is very comfortable on young shoulders.

I love the backpack. It is real and came earlier than expected. So excited to use it for school plus it is really good quality.

I have had JanSport backpacks since I was in high school, in fact I still have my backpack from high school! So Im brand loyal in getting JanSports for my kids, who 2 are now high schoolers, my 1 still in elementary and even as a diaper bag for my littlest. You can not beat the quality, dependability and even the pricing. My daughter loves the print on this one, the pink and palms is striking and the fabric is sturdy. It has so many pockets! Shes thrilled because it helps keep her more organized, so she can find what she needs in class quickly and keeps things from bumping around. My kids have all talked me into getting them a different brand backpack before, usually for the trendy characters, and we always come back to Jansport.

Too small for a 9th grader

The backpack holds all of my college stuff. And it fits my 17 inch computer. There are pockets on the backpack that are great for various things. If you are looking for an affordable but durable backpack for college, do this one.

. . . with secret pockets and hidden areas. But, it has everything I need. First of all I was pleased to discover that it shed water. We have been having a rainy season in my area. Then it has three main compartments for larger items. The one against the back would hold a laptop. Today, I carried home two bottles of wine and a cucumber in the middle compartment. On the front of the backpack are three zippered pockets. One of them is good for cellphones. The middle one carries my wallet since the zipper is recessed and a little harder to get at . . . in case of pickpockets. The front zippered pocket is big enough for my kindle. On the side is a net pocket which carries my face masks. The zippers are sturdy and the clasps are metalic with ties on them to grasp easily. The shoulder straps are well cushioned and comfortable. I still wish for secret pockets but I dont get everything I want.

I purchased this backpack for my husband who carries his laptop back and forth to work. He also travels internationally with it being used as his personal item. It functions as his mobile desk and the multiple pockets contain all the things he needs on a daily basis (paper, pencil, pens, mouse, speaker, headphone/microphone) plus all the things he needs when he travels internationally (passport, neck pillow, Beats headphones, snacks, extra shirt & snacks). Backpack seems to be typical high Jansport quality. He says it is comfortable to carry and the laptop seems protected, but the straps dont seem as cushy as the last Jansport he had.
