User Reviews

My daughter selected this backpack for middle school and she loves it! The colors and fun and different (not too young). The storage compartments and roominess of the pack are excellent. Great backpack! We havent had it long so cant attest to its durability but so far so good.

1.  Exactly what I wanted
The pack came to my door in about 8 hours after it was shipped! Talk about fast service!
I like to be more casual when it comes to backpacks so the designs didn really fit me.
However, they have a selection of plain colors as well; I ordered the Forge Grey.
It looks fantastic! Just a hint darker than it is in the picture!
First thoughts:
- It looks sturdy, the pockets look like they can carry everything that I would need. Zippers are slightly stiff when opening the compartments but thatll probably go down over time. My favorite part is the fact that the weather flaps fabric hanging over the zipper for added protection are not as low as my older Jansports. This means that the zipper is less likely to get stuck in it! Which happened quite often to me. The S straps do feel awkward to me at first, but it seems like they would loosen up over time and comfort my arms when I have to ride my bike to classes. The fabric strip used for adjusting the straps does seem about an inch thinner that my older Jansport had. So this might pose a challenge on durability. But why am I worried? Jansport backpacks come with a lifetime warranty! The water bottle holder isn too large, I probably couldn fit a full-sized gatorade bottle in there, but thats not too big of a deal.
Conclusion:
* Pros:
+ Size
+ Warranty
+ Color choices
+ Zipper/Weather Flaps
* Cons:
- Fabric lining used to adjust strap seems a little too thin.
- Zippers stiff
- Straps stiff
I would recommend this backpack despite its cons however. Its under a lifetime warranty that Jansport proudly stands by.

2.  So, I bought this in November 2008
and IM STILL USING IT every day!! I love my jansport backpack and will probably never buy another brand of bag ever! It is super spacious, and although the straps were a little odd for the first couple of days, I got used to them. So, BUY THIS BACKPACK, and you WILL be using it for years to come. Wow, I should be paid to be their spokesperson or something eh? :-

3.  Very pleased
I recently received my backpack and used it this week while commuting back and forth to work. I was very pleased and impressed with the size, number of compartments it has, and the way it holds the weight of all my personal belongings--I was surpised that there was enough room for my big purse. I carry my coffee, 36 oz bottled water, purse, iphone and its acessories, ipad and its accessories, lunchsmall or big, paperwork, and umbrella in the backpack and I still have some extra space left. I take the bus to work five days a week and I used to carry my purse and a big nylon bag and sometimes 2 bags, depending on the size of my lunch and amount of paperwork and had problems trying to manage all the stuff I carried on the bus with limited space and thought about getting a backpack since I saw some people with them. I didn know which ones were good/bad so I read reviews on this one and others. Since this backpack had many good reviews, I was encouraged to get this one and Im glad I did. Now, Im able to carry one bag, not 2 or 3, and my new backpack doesn feel as heavy as the multiple bags I was carrying even though Im carrying the same things. I feel more comfortable with it on my lap. I really appreciate the people who took the time to give their reviews on their backpacks before I decided to purchase mine. The overall rating on this item has lead me to making the right choice.

4.  THIS BACKPACK ACTUALLY LASTS
Ive gone throughout many backpacks..and now I am in college and decided to invest in a nice backpack not a cheap one that my mom would buy at Target/Walmart. Nice that I got a backpack that lasts, is easy to wash and doesn cost much. I could not be more pleased. As a college student who commutes, I bring A LOT in the backpack and after two semesters not even one tear, one break in the zipper nothing. I bought this in the teal/hibiscus print and it to so pretty and vibrant! I love it because it matches the color of my glasses!
Could not be more pleased, there is plenty of room in this to put all the books and food and everything else I bring to campus in a day. I would not hesitate in buying another if mine even ripped sometime soon because this has lasted me longer than any other backpack Ive had. I guess I give quite a beating!

5.  Perfect student backpack
I agree with others, my son at 12 in the 7th grade has an unnatural amount of books to carry to and from school. This is the first backpack I have found that fits it all including his flute. Great product! Lots of great colors to choose from.

6.  Great backpack
Its BIG, lots of space for storing everything. Love the color Black Animal Frenzy. Exactly what I need to tote everything around while Im on crutches. Quality is good, and with a lifetime warranty, you can go wrong. JanSport stands behind their products.

7.  Love the Daypack
I think this backpack is the perfect size. It is big enough to fit all my books, and small enough to fit into my school locker. I like all the pockets, which helps to keep my things organized. It is comfortable to wear; not too heavy; and the color is really pretty.

8.  My very picky son loves it
This back pack is the perfect size for elementary school kids that have more than one item to pack. I would not recommend it for the littler students but more for the 2 graders and up. It fits my sons binder, some books and his lunch box. It has nice adjustable straps that are padded to help ease some strain on his shoulders. If I had to complain about anything it would be that the shoulder straps are a bit stiff but I am sure they will reak in with continued use.

9.  Very good quality and super cute
Love it! I fit so so much in this backpack my huge 17 laptop, 3 textbooks, and all of my toiletries. Its held up now for over a semester. The white attracts dirt but it cleaned up very nicely in the washer! I still get compliments on it all the time. Not a fray on this thing after 5 months! Yup, love it!

10.  big enough
Im a nursing student our books are HUGE and I also like to bring lunch and gym clothes/shoes to school. So I had a hard time finding a spacious enough bag, until I found this! PLUS, it was cheap!

11.  JanSport Big Student Backpack (Black)
Great backpack. Very sturdy, plenty of space, comfortable. This was for a friend and she loved it. I have the same one but in navy blue. I bought it to replace the same model I bought 11 years ago. One of the zippers -of the old one- finally gave in after 11 years of heavy use. Jansport is a great brand. If this backpack lasts as long as my previous one, Im all set for a long while.

12.  Nephews JanSport Daypack
My nephew loved the daypack! He is a Freshman in high school and has to carry all his books with him all day since he doesn have time to hit his locker in between classes. Its big enough to allow him to carry them as comfortably as possible! Thanks for the great product and the great price!

13.  Satisfies this law students needs
I have ridiculously large books and a half hour walk to and from the train station each day. Unlike every other backpack Ive tried, the straps of this one have yet to start ripping or fraying apart from the bag. The only feature I miss is a buckle connecting the two straps across the front of the chest, so they don pull apart at the shoulders. However, the bag is heavy-duty and roomy, and Im easily able to fit my laptop, Con Law book maybe the largest book ever made, Crim Law book 2nd largest ever, and pocket dictionary. Overall, if you can get as good a price as I paid for it, I would recommend it to any student or other user...

14.  Tremendous Jansport Quality
Jansport is THE brand in the backpack business. This backpack will not disappoint you. I have used this pack for months, and I am amazed by the durability of the fabric and zippers. Just overall good quality from Jansport. Not much of a surprise.
I particularly like the outside zippers, great for pens/pencils, my iPod, and cell phone. Well designed.

15.  Lots of room
The backpack is sturdy & has enough room for all the high school textbooks, which is hard to find.

16.  Love it
I have been a Jansport Junkie since I was in High school Many years ago. I remember begging my mom for the black backpack with that tapestry looking strip across the front. I was lucky enough that she bought it for me and thanks to their lifetime warrenty it has been replaced for free 3 times now I still have that backpack and it functions as my always packed bathroom travel bag.
So I decided to go back to school to get a second major and didn want to unpack my bathroom bag. I began hunting for a Jansport. I ordered this bag in the Tan color with the pink zippers. I LOVE it. First of all it came with that wonderful tag that says Lifetime warrenty on craftsmanship, second, its larger and much more comfortable them my circa 1993 version.
There are WAY more pockets then the old ones had. Right now in the large main pocket I have a Precalculus book, Chemistry Book, Microbiology book, and chemistry Student guide. In the second main pocket the bulk of the packpack is separated into two parts I have 3 spiral notebooks, 2 composition books, a TI Calculator, and a pair of lab goggles. In the front pouch I have two full boxes of pencils, one box of pens, various items from my purse and two packs of gum. Then I found two more pockets AND a little webbed thingy on the side for holding a bottle of water. Also in the front pouch is a little pocket made just for cell phones - nice touch. I still have plenty of room for adding more crap should I want to... but I don think I could lift it then.
The whole exterior is made in that standard high test canvas that makes Jansport bags last forever. The inside separator between the two large pockets may be the first thing that goes - its a much flimsier material.
Final verdict - it holds everything I need it to hold, has surprisingly comfortable straps, and appears very durable. Highly recommended for High school, college, weekend overnight bag, or laptop bag. I do not recommend it for little ones as my 8 year old put it on and it almost swallowed him.
EDIT- I have just ordered 2 more of these - one for each of my stepsons. The bag has made it through almost a whole college semester with nary a scuff. I love this bag. I now have one in this black and white spastic mishmash color that matches my youngests bike, and the one with the lions on it looks like old heraldry they are all shaped exactly the same and made just as durable.

17.  Great Choice for the Money
This is a good backpack. It is very sturdy. I got it for my high school son because he ripped through his first backpack for the year in less than a week. We paid about the same for that backpack as we did for this JanSport backpack. He has had it now for a couple of months and his holding together just fine. When he first got the backpack he said the shoulder pads were very hard but now he says they don bother him anymore. Maybe he has broken them in or just gotten use to them. If you are looking for a good and roomy no frills backpack for school, this one has worked out great for my son. I had a JanSport years ago when I was in college and I remember it being a good choice back then too. This Big Student Backpack is a great choice for the money.

18.  Great backpack
I am very happy with my purchase of this backpack. The color is great, and it has plenty of compartments but not so many that you don know what to put in them. I especially like the mesh holder on the side, I put my water bottle in there so I don have to carry it around. Im a graduate student so I have a lot of materials I have to lug around, and this backpack is perfect for it. The straps are very sturdy and don cut into my shoulders. It is very comfortable to wear.

19.  Very comfortable; very useful. Perfect for laptops
Something I didn know when I ordered this online: The pocket behind the Jansport logo has inner pockets for pens, phone, calculator, small book, rocks, old socks... whatever you want. My other Jansport had the bottomless pit of pockets that was a nightmare to dig through to find a pen or change for that horrible Starbucks coffee I keep buying.
The straps are thick and harder than the previous Jansport straps. ALMOST too stiff, but they should soften up with use. The nice part about them is that 65 pounds of books with these S-shaped straps doesn feel as bad as it did with my other straight Jansport straps.
The Chocolate Cherry color is realy burgundy, or better yet, a nice cabernet. I don know about the other colors, but Jansport is pretty good about the color in the picture matching the product.
