Carry on bag size, good quality, durable.
A lot bigger than I expected. This bag has been through a vacation and lots of random trips and still looks like new. The bag is light weight and has plenty of pockets and space to work for a carry on, and overall has become my go to bag for everything. Everything about this bag is quality and I’d assume it will last me for years to come.

Survived a full school year and still looks new!
My 11-year-old daughter used this bookbag for her entire 5th grade school year—she even plans to use it again for 6th grade because it is still in such great condition!Can NEVER go wrong with a Jansport backpack! Every zipper still functions perfectly, and it looks like a new backpack even after an entire school year of wear and tear!LOTS of pockets, great color, all the storage anyone needing a nice backpack could need, regardless of age!

Great for heavy books
Always my go-to when the school year comes around. This is great for heavy books, especially for those kids who are always having to travel with a load so the size works well for that–whether it be books, change of clothing, etc all of their needs for the day. We have not experienced any rips or tears and is very comfortable to carry. Cleaning it as a breeze since it is also a machine washable. Jansport has also always been trendy and in style, Even when I was in high school. Very pleased with my purchase And since these last a long time, it’s a good value for the money.I hope someone finds this review helpful.

Long-lasting backpack
This backpack lasted me 5 full years without any issues. It has a unique purple color that I loved, but it does fade over time. There are two large zipped up storage areas along with an area to slide a laptop. This makes it very functional. It fits very well for teenage/adult-sized students. I recommend this backpack!

Great Backpack!
My 12 year old daughter loves this backpack. It has lots of pockets and is big enough for her. That’s good because it can hold a lot of things she needs and I got it for a good price on Prime Day. I hope it lasts a long time.

Durable practical best school backpack
Best quality, plenty of pockets to compartmentalize things. We bought two so far, first one lasted three years of daily use fully loaded with textbooks and notebooks, and still in usable condition. It’s been a full year on the new one, and still the same good quality.

Mucho espacio, sin resultar demasiado aparatosa. Los compartimentos son muy prácticos, el bolsillo dedicado al portátil cabe uno de 15,6 sin problemas, uno mayor puede que quepa en los otros bolsillos pero no estaría acolchado. Buenos acabados y materiales.
