    JanSport backpacks are the only ones I would ever buy! They are so sturdy and durable. I had mine for at least four years. If anything ever goes wrong with it, you can send it to the company and they will fix it or send you another backpack.

    JanSport backpacks are moderately priced. I've had mine for over four years and have used it every day, and it's still in good condition. THe balance of weight is good, and there are plenty of compartments for all the individual things which you would like to pack separately.

    I have had the same Jan Sport since high school and it is still in great condition.

    I actually use this backpack and have used it for three years now. It is still in very good condition. It is sturdy and comfortable. The only improvement that is needed is the straps need to be more comfortable when carrying a heavy load.

    This backpack is just like the rest of the Jansport line, great!! It has tons of space for things you need, or even don't that you still put in your bag. It comes in a variety of colors, so you get to choose what you like. The backpack itself is also backed by a life time guarantee.

    I think this is a very well designed backpack. The straps are extremely durable allowing one to carry a large quanity of books. The pockets allow for plenty of space for writing utensils. Also, the bottom, with it's constructions allows the dependability so you know your stuff won't fall out.

    A good size that can carry a lot of books. I like the thick straps, but sometimes they get tangled on my clothes. I like the cushioned back which lessens the bounce of the backpack.

    Very roomy. I was able to fit a lot of my stuff. Not too bulky. Comes in some good colors. The style is okay, very Jansport.

    Jansport really knows how to make a backpack. This backpack allows you to pack 30-35 pounds easily and provides great support with a chest and hip belt. Their life time warranty is great. Quick service! I used it on this backpack with one of the zippers. It was back in a week and a half.

    Has helped me from elementary school through college. The backpack is very sturdy, and I have used the same pack for 6 years!

    Jansport backpacks cannot carry as much stuff as my North Face bag. That's why it's just okay. They are not as trendy either, and I don't like some of the styles.

    This is a very strong, durable, and well made pack. It lasts and has great places to put things. It doesn't fade its color either from being in the sun, and the zipper hasn't been disfunctional yet.

    Out of all the backpacks that I had, Jansport lasts the longest which I look for, durability in a backpack, besides many colors and compartments. What I also like about this brand is that it has a lifetime warranty.

    Extremely durable. I don't have this specific bag, but I have seen its notable design in fine sports outlets.

    This is a great backpack. I do little backpacking, and I would recommend this one. It is easy to access your necessities while traveling, and it provides a bit of comfort to a heavy load.

    The zippers on Jansports always break! Not well made enough and the lifetime gaurantee is tough to get a hold of.

    These backpacks are wonderful because they have a lifetime warranty, so you buy a backpack and then if the zipper breaks, you just exchange it! It's a great company...no hassels!

    Very efficient day backpack. Light, yet durable and sturdy. Recently, Jansport has offered a wide variety of styles and colors to choose from. A good buy!

    It needs more pockets on the outside for easy access.

    The zipper breaks very quickly, so you have to return or buy a new one. It's not too reliable for outdoors or to carry many books. It's just the name. Not the best quality.

    First and foremost, I love Jansport backpacks because they are durable and spacious. Also, Jansport seems to have the greatest selection when it comes to meeting the individual needs of each customer. However, I play volleyball and even though Jansport has backpacks that fit cell phones, discmans, small water bottles, and even labtops, I never found one that fit my specific sports need. When the Jansport Olympic came out, I felt like the company actually took the time to make a backpack based on the input of athletes. The Jansport Olympic has enough room for hightop shoes worn for basketball and volleyball, room for larger water bottles, which athletes will carry, and a place to keep sweaty workout clothes.

    I bought one because it looked cool, but I couldn't fit anything I wanted to bring to class. But overall, it's a good quality backpack.

    I love my Jansport. The best feature is the size cup pouches. I like having a pouch on each side. One for my water bottle and one for my coffe mug.

    The backpack has a cushion around the straps. It has room for books, utensils, it's durable and long lasting, and the fabric is stretchable.

    Jansport backpacks are very comfortable and useful. Personally, I can make a lot of space for the stuff that I need to carry. I've tried others and this one is the most efficient for me.

    The backpack is made to handle heavy loads while compressing it down to put ease on your back. The strap supports also help give comfort and easy mobility. It is very affordable and reliable because it hasn't broke yet.

    The Jansport Olympic is a good, reliable backpack with some great and useful compartments handy. It holds everything you need, probably even make-up for girls. Pricewise, it's a lot better than the competition for getting your money's worth.

    I think it is good because the material that it is made out of is really strong. It carries a great amount of weight and it does not rip. It lasts a pretty long time.

    This bag is durable. I like that there is a warranty on the bag and they compensate for it. The bag lasts for a year or so, just as long as you don't overload it.

    Jansport backpacks are the best ever. I once bought a Jansport backpack in 1996 and to this day I still use the same one.

    These happen to be nice looking backpacks but based solely on dependability, the backpacks just don't cut it. I carry a great deal of books and other equipment in my backpack, based on where I am going and what I need them for, and JanSport has failed to live up to my expectations. The straps kept coming un-done and could not handle the load that my needs require.

    Throughout my school life, I have always had a Jansport backpack. They are durable. I remember in elementary school and junior high I had the same Jansport that I used to throw, step on, and put through other hellish acts, but when I got a new backpack it was because it was a present.
