JanSport Logo
JanSport’s goal is to design, engineer, manufacture and market products that will help you get from point A to point B in the most functional way possible. Consistently incorporating flexibility and functionality into their bag designs, JanSport understands that the backpack you use during the day to carry your books could very well be the same backpack you take hiking with you on the weekends.

The story of JanSport bags and apparel begins in 1967 with three friends and their love for the outdoors. Jan Lewis, Murray Pletz and Skip Yowell lived in Seattle when they created their first framepack and the first panel loading daypack. Murray had just won a design contest for "The Best New Use of Aluminum" for the framepack the trio had fabricated in the transmission shop of Skip's uncle. Once climbers on Mount Rainier and other Northwest peaks saw the new pack, they wanted one for themselves. The rest is JanSport history.

The success of JanSport’s packs reaches across the globe and into various walks of life. For nearly 40 years, JanSport has provided world class bags and apparel that can take you anywhere and everywhere. Celebrating outdoor enthusiasts from the casual walker to the mountain climber, JanSport’s packs and apparel have got your back.

I purchased this for my dad for Father's Day and it looked great. It looked a little big on him though, but he's on the shorter side. Love that Jansport has a lifetime guarantee as well so this bag should last many years of traveling!

Perfect, roomy backpack - very happy with my purchase, but it is slightly different than the picture. The black version I ordered does have the nice teal pull tags on the zippers, which I like, but it is otherwise completely black - including the back (which in the picture is gray), the insides (which in the picture looks teal), and the front right (which in the picture is dark gray). Just an FYI. It also came with tags advertising it was a "women's" backpack due to its measurements.

My daughter uses this backpack for high school and it fits all the books and binders she has to carry around. It has two side pockets for a water bottle or umbrella. It has a soft lined compartment on top for sunglasses or a phone that allows for easy access. It seems durable. Another brand only made one semester before falling apart.

This back pack is so comfortable and can make you not realize how much stuff you have on your back! I have been on crutches and have all of my stuff in my backpack. School books (a few of which are heavy hardbacks) planners, a journal and what I would carry in a purse not to mention my hoodie and I feel like I hardly have anything on my back. I highly recommend this bag.

This is a great backpack. It is large enough to stuff everything inside - books, lunch, jacket and even extra shoes. It has held up really well to use this year. I think we will be using it for several more years.

I have an older version of this backpack that I bought three years ago, and it's been through about as much abuse as one can inflict on a backpack used for school, work, and travel. This backpack simply does not die. It's made from very lightweight materials, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's not strong or durable. It's the only backpack I've ever owned that's still roomy despite all the pockets, and also comfortable to wear. The straps are thickly padded and just glide onto your shoulders without scraping your arms. Will definitely buy again!

I have been searching for the right backpack for weeks and I finally decided on this one and I'm glad I did. There are so many choices and the price ranges are all over the place. I wanted a bag for travel that was lightweight and would fit enough clothes for several weeks. So many bags have a ton of bells and whistles but I just wanted functional. This bag looked deceptively small when I got it but I can fit five fully stuffed Eagle Creek Specter packing half cubes in the main compartment and still have room for flats, flip flops and three quarter cubes on the sides and in front and back. I was impressed that with all that in the main compartment I could still fit a bunch of toiletries in the secondary compartment since it's a couple of inches deep. Once full it was still comfortable to carry for my 5'6" frame. I especially love the corset feature that allows you to compress the bag to its smallest possible self. Great bag!

Great color selection, this is our second big student pack. You can't beat Jansport for quality. The kids fit everything in it, like a black hole for school supplies. Zappos rocks! for service!

It's a good bag. I took it to Europe with me, and it was roomy enough to carry all the things I needed. It has several subcompartments that make keeping this separated easy. I recommend it.

Purchased this backpack for my granddaughter. She is starting 6th grade and needed something bigger than the one she had in Elementary School. It fits her needs perfectly. Has a number of different compartments to help her keep her school books/supplies organized.

My 7th grade daughter needed a very large backpack that can carry all of the books and binders that she needs for homework, as well as her field hockey gear. This was one of the few we tried out that could actually fit everything - even tho she looks like she will tip over. She says the shoulder padding is comfortable and loves the color. So far, very sturdy.

My wife bought me a Jansport in 2009 and it lasted until I saw this Agave on Zappos a few weeks ago. There is no doubt this will last a lot longer, this one seems very tough with hard zippers, a good amount of pockets and a padded section for my laptop and kindle, the straps are very soft and comfortable and snap connect in the front for comfort and security. I got the all black version, i like to stay indiscreet. Of course ZAPPOS delivered this in a more than timely fashion. Very satisfied.

This backpack is really cute. I haven't seen it in any stores...so not everyone has the same one which is nice. It is really big but not too big for the days when you don't have tons of stuff. Lots of pockets.

Colors of backpack are even better in person, very vibrant. Always had good luck with JanSport backpacks, they are really sturdy and hold multiple heavy textbooks easily. Zappos customer service is excellent, they upgraded free standard shipping to free next day shipping to ensure delivery for the first day of school! Will definitely buy from Zappos again.

I got this for my daughter, an eighth grader. She has a heavy load for her school. This backpack does the trick. The fabric design is playful for a middle schooler, but sturdy and comfortable. As always, I am happy with Zappos for its convenience and speedy delivery!
