JanSport Cool Backpack, with 15-inch Laptop Sleeve, Black - Large Computer Bag Rucksack with 2 Compartments, Ergonomic Straps

If you are looking for a sturdy backpack that I large enough to avoid being too heavy in your back and shoulders (granted you don’t stuff it till it’s busting) and big enough to have space and room for things, then this is for you. It has multiple pockets and compartments making it simple to store notebooks, a laptop, essential items like wallet and keys, etc. The straps are adjustable too. It works great for school!

This backpack is great for traveling because it has four large and roomy compartments that expand to excess packing and two small front compartments that securely hold smaller items such as a passport. Each compartment has sturdy zippers with strong pulls. That backpack is made from a beautiful and sturdy fabric. The padded straps are comfortable, adjustable. The way the buckles are positioned on the straps makes it easy to balance out the weight, but the bag never seems to get heavy no matter how much you pack it.

A few welcome changes this time around - a better back pad, a dedicated laptop sleeve in the rear compartment, a sturdier water resistant floor. The fabrics, zippers, and construction look to be as durable as before. Edit 2/09/23: The older models largest outside compartment had a double-slide zipper. Not a biggie, but I miss that on the new one.

Overall, this backpack is made very well and I will definitely use it. However, I wish I had paid a little more attention to a close-up photo of it because I might have noticed that the zippers are hidden by fabric. Aesthetically this is wonderful but practically it’s not. The fabric is a little stiffer than it looks to be in the photos. That shouldn’t be a downside, except it’s kind of hard to zip and unzip the pockets because you have to keep pushing the somewhat stiff fabric out of the way. Even when it was full, I had to tussle with the zipper a bit. I’ve used it for several days now, and it takes more time than I would like to get everything zipped up and then later get everything zipped open without having to mess with the fabric. I hope the fabric becomes a little less stiff with age, or I can picture myself becoming very frustrated with it the more times I use it. If I had seen this at the store and played with it a bit I would not have purchased it. Other than that, I would’ve given it five stars because it is very roomy, the straps are great, and it has some great pockets, although I would’ve liked a few hidden ones inside a couple of the pouches.

Perfect for students, plenty of space. I am able to hold all my notebooks and binders + shoes in the bag.

I love all of the different compartments but it does make finking something more difficult

The product came well packaged and in perfect condition. No flaws. It took me a long time to decide on a good backpack for vet tech school, and I’m really happy I went with this one! It’s roomy, but not overly huge. The quality of the fabric is good. I love the leather detail on the bottom. It has a good variety of pockets/compartments as well, and I love the water bottle holder on the side. My one tiny little “complaint”. Is that the zippers are covered by a little extra “flap” of fabric. I’m not sure what purpose this serves (like if it’s a cosmetic thing or if there’s a functional reason for it), but I find that they kind of get in the way. I’ve never gotten the zipper stuck on it, but I have to sort of fold it over itself before unzipping or zipping it back up to avoid that happening. It’s just a minor thing. I am still overall happy with my purchase, but thought I would mention it!

This is a great back pack. The only thing not liked is the flaps that cover the zippers. They serve a purpose but also get caught in the zippers.

This pretty, floral backpack is perfect for a college student. It has padded straps, it’s sturdy, and roomy. It will hold those large, heavy textbooks and a computer.

I work at a library so I needed something sturdy that can hold the many stacks of books that I check out regularly. As well as all my regular day to day items and my lunch. This was it! It fits so much stuff and it is so sturdy. I’m really glad I purchased this.
