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.

    You denied my return of order #912002632503698 when it was returned in original packaging and condition within the 30 day return window, keeping my money and my return. Target sucks! Everyone, boycott!

    Love Jansport backpacks. They’re durable, well-designed, and their warranty is great. I’ve had previous Jansport backpacks with minor issues, and Jansport has taken them back, fixed them, and shipped them back to me. Great way to repair rather than replace.

    Low quality control?

    Motherofateen - 3 days ago
    I’m so disappointed, just got home from Target - we made a special trip to go and buy this bookbag, which was more expensive than Amazon but my daughter wanted to go ahead and get all school supplies ready, and then we realized the seam that holds the water bottle is undone. Now have to go all the way back to return because it has to be done in-store. Maybe a little bit more attention to guarantee quality would be great.

    I would give this zero stars if I could. It was $60 and completely fell apart the first time I washed it. Didn’t even last half the school year!! And target wouldn’t return it since it was past the 90 day return window. What a waste! Save your money. Jansport is not worth it!

    Lanie - 19 days ago, Verified purchaser
    Growing up in the 90s/00s, Jansport backpacks were durable and had that nice, canvas material. They were backpacks that lasted through your siblings. These are not the same Jansports. The logo is the same, the quality is not there, the material has cheapened. My sons water bottle pocket already broke and he's only used it twice for sleepovers, not even for school yet. He's 7 and using a 14oz bottle! Insane for the price tag!

    Please don’t purchase this. The water bottle net is already breaking and falling apart after a couple of uses. This backpack is expensive for it to be falling apart already.

    Backpack

    4 out of 5 stars
    ssx22 - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I am a teacher and I bought this backpack because I needed a new bag. The backpack is functional and the various pockets and compartments help with organization. The water bottle pocket fits my 32 oz Nalgene. There is not much padding in the laptop compartment. The zippers frequently get caught in the fabric of their cover. I’m not sure how durable this bag is in the long-term. Other than that, it is serving the purpose that I need it for.

    Targeholic - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Got the strawberry print and it’s adorable! Since the fabric is a light color, it does tend to get dirtier easier. I treat mine with 3M fabric spray to help protect the fabric from getting stains/dirt on it. But it’s a great backpack. Lots room, pockets and compartments. Good to travel with.
