    The best backpack

    I am replacing this backpack after eight years of everyday use. Seriously, every single day. I used in all throughout college and now I bring it to work every day. I even use it when going on a short vacation instead of a suitcase. The backpack after eight years still works, and I'm still using it, but the synthetic leather at the bottom is ripping off. I obviously love this backpack. I am not a student but I will always rock this "Cool Student" backpack.

    My daughter's middle school doesn't do lockers. We got this and it's able to fit all her books, her laptop, and her lunch box. There is still loads of room for other things.

    I wouldn't know. We bought a backpack. It broke. We replaced it and had to pay the shipping fee to and from Jansport. The new backpack strap broke within a week.

    We ordered the Cool Student bag for school. After less than one month, the entire leather bottom material is peeling off. Defective, poor quality, looks awful. The rest of the bag is fine.

    Cheap pleather peeling

    MM - 4 months ago

    This is a cheaply made product and Jansport return policy needs to be reassessed. The bottom of this backpack has completely peeled by the third week of school and Jansport wants me to send the backpack in for a warranty claim and they will not return it for a few weeks. What is my daughter supposed to use for her backpack in the meantime? A good company would replace the backpack and have you mail in the defective one upon receipt. There is no reason for me to do a warranty claim for something that is going to peel again due to bad quality , purchase another backpack while waiting for the warranty claim to go through, and then end up with two backpacks of the same terrible quality. This does not make any sense. Do not buy this product.

    I just bought it for my daughter for the new school year, and the strap broke in 2 days. Not recommended if kids need to carry heavy stuff every day.

    Differnt from another one - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I know someone who has this backpack and inside the backpack it's white but I guess they changed it to black and now I can barely see the inside and I had flash on auto and so the picture used flash because of how dark the inside was. The picture in the product showed BLACK zippers like the big student backpack but the zippers I got were a blue and white The leather on the bottom feels nice though and everything else is great but the inside of the backpack is very dark and hard to see

    It is shown as silvery, reflective backpack but really it's just gray and bits of purple and a little bit of teal. Does not look as pretty as you'd expect it to be based on pictures online.

    Seriously disappointing for my 6th grader. She was so excited for a deep purple colored backpack. "Party PLUM" is much closer to royal blue though. We will be returning it asap.
