Product Description

Can you imagine a world without backpacks? Neither can we. Yet it wasn't long ago that they were strictly outdoor gear. One fall in the late sixties, the JanSport team heard that students were using the brand's small cross country daypacks to cross campus instead. It made sense with comfortable padded straps, and easy access front panel opening and catch resistant nylon zippers the bags were just as great for carrying books as they were for carrying gear. Seeing the potential the team made a few notebook worthy design adjustments including the addition of a durable vinyl base to improve weight capacity. Soon after, JanSport began selling the first ever campus backpacks into college bookstores around the country.

Customer Reviews

poor quality backpack, don't buy...
I bought this backpack when I wanted to have a new bag for my laptop. I got a good JanSport Backpack for my niece a few month ago and she liked that one, so I chose JanSport again. It's out of question that JanSport is generally a good brand.
But this particular backpack is really poorly made. The texture is made by some cheap materials, and definitely looks not as good as the picture shown on the website. There are not many compartments in the bag with poor paddings, and the space is not as big as that was described at all. Nevertheless, the laptop sleeve is too wide for my 15' widescreen notebook. So I bought another backpack of Swissgear this weekend when I saw it on sale with only one third price of this JanSport. And the quality of my new bag is Much Much Much BETTER than this one.
Don't buy this backpack!

Too Small For A Tall or Big Adult Male
The quality of construction is excellent, it's just that the straps are unbelievably short. I've had Jansports before, and never once have I seen this. At full length, the backpack was quite tight around my shoulders. The straps on my other Jansport (Samba Trans) are about TWICE as long! How and why Jansport could do this is beyond me - 8 more inches of strap and I'd love this bag - too bad they don't post strap length specs on their site eh? If you a small man, a kid, or a girl, you may still be interested, so let me give you a breakdown that you probably won't find anywhere else:

The "shockshield" laptop sleeve: so called advanced laptop protection, the shockshield amounts to a hard shock absorber thing in the bottom of the laptop sleeve. So make sure if you ever drop your bag w/ lappie, make sure you drop it straight down so it lands right side up - otherwise the shock shield won't help you much. The padding on the front of the sleeve is maybe 3/16 inch - quite thin. The padding on the back of the bag, which is the back of the sleeve as well, is thicker and more adequate. My 15.4" Dell Studio stuck out about 3 inches at the top of the sleeve, thus leaving the entire edge with no padding at all. The strap on the sleeve is good - you can tighten it up all you want. I think it would provide adequate protection, but I wouldn't go so far as to say 'advanced'.

Nice bag!
Works well, readily adaptable to lots of moving around. Recommended for service, quality and satisfaction.
