6 out 5 stars There’s a reason why entire generations of people have toted this JanSport backpack to school — it’s the perfect size, has just the right amount of pockets and can hold up to a decent amount of wear and tear. (It’s also water-repellant.) It comes in a wide range of solid colors and has some fun prints too, like daisies, paisleys and hearts.
Promising Amazon review: “This backpack is very durable. It is worth the money. It is high-quality and it washes well.
It is exactly as described. The measurements are spot on. There’s just enough pockets for it to be useful for anyone who is going to school or needs a small overnight bag.
It's a great durable backpack. I highly recommend it.” — Jessie Rating: 4.
