The backpack is appreciated for its sturdiness, ample space, and multiple compartments, making it ideal for school and travel. However, there are concerns about the durability of the water bottle pocket and zipper quality. Guests find it useful for carrying laptops, books, and other essentials, but the recent decline in quality, particularly the water bottle holder and straps, has been noted.

Bought the bugs vibe...
Purchased the bugs vibe and it was clearly printed off. Most of the bugs are completely blurry. Reached out to customer service and got told there was nothing they could do and to return it.

Great bag for middle schoolers
DefiIgt is definitely a greate bag for school-going kids. A lot of space and several partitions. Its available in multiple designs and colors. Only thing is I felt that it s overpriced.

Great backpack, needs another water bottle pocket
I would like to see water bottle pickers on both sides of the backpack instead of just one. Otherwise a great durable backpack.

Zipper Jammed after 2 weeks
My daughter really liked this backpack for Middle School because of the multiple pockets and ample size. Unfortunately, the main pocket zipper got stuck on the zipper guard and couldn't come undone without ripping the zipper. We will not be purchasing Jansport again.

Great backpack
Great backpack. It is large and able to store everything needed for a school and more; clothes, Chromebook, binders, lunch, water bottle, etc. Stylish, but simple.

Jansport big student backpack
My granddaughter loves her new backpack! Unfortunately the store that I ordered it from to pick up sold out before they filled the order and had to ship it which ok fine but when we received it the box was all ready opened and left at front door! Would never have target ship anything to me again! Unacceptable!

Bow Backpack
My daughter loved this print. The backpack is a great size for high school and made with quality stitching ensuring multiple years of use. Jansport has been around awhile and they have maintained their standards of quality backpacks.

Broken after one use
First day of school. Zipper stuck on zipper flap. I could have bought a $5 bag. Why did I buy a $55 bag.
