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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I purchased this backpack for my 11 year old. She was adamant about getting the bigger backpack because she needs the space. We both love it. It’s nice and spacious and sturdy. I used Jansport back in the day when I was going to school too, so it’s a bit nostalgic.

    Disappointed in the quality of the backpack

    I am very disappointed with the quality of Jansport backpacks now. They used to be durable and have excellent warranties. Not anymore. We purchased a big student backpack in December 2023 for my high school daughter. She has only used it for school to hold her laptop, binders, etc. Towards the end of this past school year, it started fraying on the bottom, creating a hole. We limped it along until the summer, when I planned to make a warranty claim. I filled out of the warranty paperwork and mailed it to the warranty center (costing $29 to ship). I was excited to receive a backpack in the mail recently, completely expecting my daughter's backpack to be repaired or replaced. Nope. They mailed it back exactly as it was, stating " our warranty covers defective materials, and workmanship only. Damage to your pack (normal wear, tear, abrasion, holes) is not covered under warranty. We are sorry, but we are not able to offer you a replacement for your back request". Clearly the material gave out and was not durable. I would not recommend purchasing a Jansport backpack, unless you plan on replacing it every 2 years or less.
