  I prefer just the plane and simple jansport backpack.. holds quite a bit and lasts forever (well.. not if u constantly drag it on the ground) but u can throw it around and it still looks nice... well.. anyways.. great backpack..
  
  

• a little disappointed

  The material for the body of the bag is very thin and I'm worried it won't last me through the school year. It's not a comfortable fit with the weight of my texts no matter where the straps are adjusted. I admit it looks really cute and you can't beat the price, but if i were to see that bag in a store where i could touch it and feel the material, i would not have purchased it - even despite how inexpensive it was.
  
  

• The lightest weight bag!

  
  By A2L3XB0UHL3IHK on 2005-05-25
  After trying many different daypacks, this one is definitely the best one if weight is a problem. Many backpacks have so much padding that the bag is already somewhat heavy before you even put your books and other things in them. I've given away countless bags due to the weight issue, until I found this basic JanSport. Another added bonus: the bag comes in great colors and is reasonably priced you can buy more than one. Great for us girls that look a little color. My only complaint is that my hot pink bag was missing one of the fabric pull tabs.
  
  

• School Backpacks/ friend or foe?

  
  By A2O8TH8H4S3WS8 on 2007-02-13
  This was a beautiful back pack, just as described and seems well made. Are kid's school bags ever sturdy enough. Sadly, no. This is the 3rd we have been through this year. We can only hope it lasts the rest of the school year. Can somebody come out with a super strong and lasting bag? Mine from back in the old days lasted 2 years or more. It's a thought.

  This backpack is very large inside. It is the third year I am using this brand and style. Being a girl I have to have a new color every year. This one is green. I like the color, it's very vibrant. Last years' was pink and though it was durable, it got dirty too easy and had to be washed quite often. Yes, I wash it in the washer on gentle cycle and hang to dry. It can hold all of my school books, but I'm thankful that I don't have to bring them all at once. Front zipper pocket is very large and holds my pen pouch, a small purse, and cd player. All around great backpack and it's washable, what more could you ask for?
  
  
• Yes, it carries things.
  By A1OGGKIB3ASUY1 on 2006-09-23
  This isn't really worth the price. Based on strength and utility alone, I've seen cheaper backpacks at Wal-Mart, etc. that far outshine this little thing. This is really quite small, don't let the big numbers fool you.
  
  I guess I could suggest this for elementary schoolers, but as a college student this really doesn't work for me. I remember carrying even more books in high school, so yeah, that's out too. When you get this, you're really just paying for the name brand. They pocket the difference by sacrificing quality.
  
  1. Smaller than it looks.
  2. Very thin fabric.
  3. The joke they call 'padding' doesn't keep the sharp edges of any book from sticking into your back.
  4. The straps feel very weak, and I don't feel comfortable carrying all my books in it.
  5. The backpack has a tendency to 'slide' down; the buckle doesn't hold the straps well, so the nylon slides past it and causes the straps to loosen against your will.
  
  
• Excellent Light Bag, but thin fabric
  By A1EW1SXZRW02J4 on 2006-09-30
  I love this bag because it is light and roomy. However after laying it on the concrete a few times, it has 2 small holes at the bottom because the bag is so thin. I got my money's worth, but will look for something with a leather bottom if you lay your bag on the ground at all.
  
  
• Super backpack is right!
  By A5MTZDDJ83GUE on 2006-07-25
  I owned one of these for over 10 years. It went through college with me and was big enough for all of my books, etc. Post college, my son used it for school and during it all, it went traveling with us several times a year. I probably would still have it and use it for travel except that on one of those trips, I parked my car across from the Air & Space Museum in D.C. and someone broke in. All they took was my pack and a knit cap...so even the homeless(?) know a good pack when they see it. They left all kinds of electronic games they could have sold for some dough!
  
  
• Loved It!!!!!!!
  By on 2006-07-27
  I think this backpack was so amazing to me because I used it from 2nd grade to 7th grade and I still have it now. I happen to love rainbow, so I chose the color of "Peace Out." You Can Fit almost anything in there and the backpack can fit into almost anywhere. I definetly recommend it to anyone, any age is perfect. I want to keep this backpack for a long time. But best of all, if you want to keep it forever, the colors never fade out. So you will still notice the colors even ten years after you purchased it. I think I will definetly buying more things from Amazon. At least I'll be sure it will last a very long time.Horray for Amazon!!!!!
  
  
• Classic Backpack
  By A3G6CUHVLIWDXA on 2006-11-10
  In these days and times backpacks, bookbags, etc have become so outlandish. This is a classically styled all american backpack. No bells, no whistles, just a good ole standbye bag! Hard to find now-a-days.
  
  
• i love it
  By A18CJULQI4PQOL on 2005-09-13
  This bookbag is amazing. i love the whole look of it, and the style, and the fact that it can hold a lot of my books and papers and what not. It's great..thanks amazon for the speedy delivery too.
  
  
• The Best Backpack EVER!
  By A3QVB5282SYE3Q on 2006-02-27
  I love this backpack! It is just like the one I used to have in elementary school and I LOVE it! It is the perfect size for my college load and it is the most durable material ever!
  
  
• cheap and good
  By ACIX0LM1955FM on 2006-11-03
  works as advertized. the only drawback is its lack of pockets. its got just the one pocket with an inner pocket. not a big deal to me but for some it might be a problem. its simplicity is a strength and also a weakness i guess.
  
  
• geat brand for a great price--
  By A152045LUIUI4 on 2006-11-04
  This is a nice looking, sturdy back pack for most elementary school children. The only drawback is, it's a bit small.
  I bought it for my middle school son. He loved it, but could not fit all of his books and school supplies in it. My fourth-grader, who is notorious for tearing up back-packs, uses it every day. It's a perfect fit for him. It is holding up quite well!
  
  
• Good sturdy pack
  By A1I0TCM9KHC1NR on 2006-11-06
  I bought this pack for hiking. I find all JanSport products to be of good quality. I don't like lots of "bells & whistles" on a day pack and this one is pretty basic. It is a decent size to allow me to carry all my necessities and some extras but not so big to tempt me into over-packing.
  A larger pack would be preferable for a winter hike to carry bulkier items. This pack is fully functional and if it lives up to previous Jansport packs I've owned, then it will be around for some years to com.
  
  
• High fives to JanSport
  By A1PEU92MZDXXEQ on 2007-01-04
  It's gotta be good if 4 months of school passed and there are no rips, tears or broken zippers...especially if it belongs to one of my kids!
  
  
• Does the Job
  By A33OFHTW6LJUGU on 2006-03-10
  This backpack is very soft cloth. Not what you'd think of a back pack as being, but I find it works a lot better. Its more like a sack. Because of the material its made of, it conforms easier to larger items, such as books and lunch boxes and purses. I'll buy another just like it when school starts again, just so she'll have a choice.
  
  
• Jansport backpack
  By A3H4LKJRJ70DCO on 2006-08-27
  All in all a very nice backpack. My daughter couldn't get too excited about the backpack as it reminded her she was going back to school. Fast shipment and nice price.
  
  
• Always a Jansport!
  By A34593G5KF1SIJ on 2006-11-03
  This is the fourth Jansport we have had within in our family, love 'em. They are strong, durable and stand up to time and everyday wear. My kids use them for school and they are great. Perfect size. Zippers are strong and never break and the overall backpack features are just right for school or whatever. Would recommend them to anyone.
  
  
• Popular Backpack
  By A3QFN47E0YMBZW on 2006-11-05
  I purchased this backpack for my 6th grade daughter. Many of the girls in her class are also toting this pack in the various designs available. As a parent it's great to have purchased something at a resonable price that is highly in fashion and is of excellent quality. This is the first year she has not requested a new backpack within the first month of school.
  
  
• crazy dots not just for kids
  By A12BGVUVS43OOT on 2007-01-19
  I purchased this backpack to carry my oil paints in to give my arms a rest. This light weight back pack is roomy - tough; takes a load of weight off this adult woman and the dots are excellent. Lots of compliments. My niece covets the dots - she will have to get her own. I highly recommend this product!
  
  
• Lightweight and Durable
  By A143PDBSSXKN9J on 2008-04-14
  Jansport is defiantly the way to go with school backpacks these days. All the kids have them and don't let yours miss out! They are durable and go with almost any outfit! They are lightweight and made to comfortably fit your child. These are cheap but last so long! I'm so glad I got one for my girls.
  
  
• Exactly what I wanted!
  By A3F9PQTAVZB09N on 2006-01-31
  The bookbag was exactly what I was looking for. It was so easy to find on amazon, and inexpensive. It come quickly, and was in perfect condition.
  
  
• corduroy backpack
  By A2WNNA3SB0PLRG on 2006-08-25
  I thought that this bag was very useful and had a very nice appearance. I think it is value for the money and I recommend it.
  
  
• One of a kind!
  By A1Q4Q88HWZP6S1 on 2006-08-28
  I ordered this backpack for my high-schooler. She loves it! At first she was worried that the straps would be uncomfortable or not hold up since they are thinner and lightly padded vs. the big, thick, heavy padded ones on her past backpacks, but three days into school and she says they're good and she likes that they don't add extra weight. She loves the daisy pattern and reports that she's the "only one" to have it! Which means it's "totally cool"! Product shipped in a timely manner and came in perfect quality. I would buy again from this dealer.
  
  
• Great Backpack
  By A3HKREZ994YOZI on 2006-11-10
  This is a great backpack it has plenty of space for all my stuff.
  
  
• A nice backpack
  By A3K7ZON0A34D5Y on 2007-01-07
  I ordered this backpack as a temporary solution. I thought it was cheap ($20 item, around $10 shipping), but now I realize it isn't.
  Maybe I will start with the negative aspect of the product: Too simple, only one big and one small compartments, with the small one being the front pocket. In addition, The straps are small. I am big, but I see many larger people than me around and to be honest if you are aroun XL or XXL size it would be quite uneasy to put the backpack over a jacket as its straps are simply too short.
  The good part: it looks durable, does the business, and now I will keep it as a spare since I now have another one(Not JanSport:) but sill, the price somehow appears to be alittle too much for me. For the same amount I gave I could find a real nice Adidas or Nike (original ones:) back in my country.
  
  
• Perfect!
  By A1NS624XZKZ67B on 2008-02-08
  The Jansport backpack is a perfect size and weight for my son-in-law who just started grad school. It is sturdy without being heavy or bulky. The color choices for this product were very good. I would recommend this backpack to students who are looking for room without buying a huge bag.
  
  
• Great bag

• Poor quality
  By A2SQA5FXQXOW25 on 2007-12-30
  I bought 3 of these to replace worn out back packs. I thought they would be great quality, but from the appearance they look no better than the ones they already had that fell apart after 3 months. I was really disappointed by how thin they are.
