Great for the growing kids!
My son was needing a backpack that was a little bigger this year to be able to hold all the school goods. This one has been perfect since the purchase. I haven’t heard no complaints yet!

Not worth the price tag
These backpacks used to be made of a soft, sturdy woven canvas material and a true suede leather bottom that lasted years. Not anymore. Today's versions are a cheap, plastic-y fake polyester with a playdoh leather bottom that rip, tear and wear through within months, yet the cost has not reflected the diminished quality. So disappointed.

Ripped bookbag a rip off
This book bag has ripping in the water bottle mesh. It cost way too much to have ripping m. I don't appreciate it and I'll never buy a book bag from you guys again

Great Sized Backpack!
I got this backpack in the purple color and at first I thought it was too bright but have grown to love it. All the pockets on the backpack and designated laptop pocket is game changer. I am a person who always feels like I need more space but this product is more than enough. Snag it while its on sale!

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. 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!
