There are some qualities of this backpack that make it immediately undesirable and I wouldn’t have bought it if I saw it in a store.
1- The back is not stiff enough to hold the shape if there are oddly shaped things in the back pack. Now I don’t expect to not feel that there is something round in the bag if I have a basketball in there, but I do expect the stiffness of the back to withstand a pair of tennis shoes for example.
2- The zippers are not very good quality. They catch on themselves and I am waiting for the day when they completely break (which I wouldn’t be too mad about because then I could justify getting a new backpack).
3- If you have things in the two big compartments, then the front vertical zipper pocket is really weird to use because things fall to the bottom and are squished to the front of the pack. It doesn’t work well.
4- The waist belt is pretty much useless- it is there just to have more high speed straps. It doesn’t help with lumbar support.

Nice bag, lots of room, the laptop sleeve is handy. I’ve had the bag for about a month now and I use it everyday to commute back and forth to work on my bike.

I have another JanSport firewire backpack which I have used for about 4 years. Recently I upgraded my laptop to a 15.4″ MacBook Pro. my old backpack is too shallow for 15.4″ laptop so I wanted a new one. Based on my experience with my current JanSport backpack, I decided to buy a second Jansport backpack for my MBP. After reading customer’s reviews and view product’s pictures on Amazon, I placed an order. When I received the backpack, I found that it’s not that big /spacious as I expected. it’s about 2100 cu ft. I had to admit I don’t have a good handle of volumes in numbers. though It can hold to a 15.4″ laptop nicely. but honestly its laptop sleeve is not strong as my old firewire backpack. if I want to carry two more books, it will be pretty much full with this size. though everything else looks fine with this JanSport backpack. But I may need to look for a bigger one with ~3000 cu ft and a well-padded laptop sleeve which can provide good protection.

Pros: I bought this bag after researching through many different ones. I was looking for something that was cheap, yet stylish and functional, and it fits all of those and have been using it for almost 3 months now. I ride my bike to work everyday and sometimes have to carry my Laptop. The laptop sleeve, the padding and the front straps make it extremely easy on my shoulders and there is still a lot of space left for my gym clothes etc. I have taken this bag on hikes and snowboarding. The material is water resistant enough to keep my stuff dry.
Cons: Comparing to my previous backpack, the number of pockets are not as many. The small strap on the top is not padded, so its not comfortable to carry in one hand. The shoulder straps are solid foam design and not the mesh type, which even though comfortable does not allow for a lot of ventilation.
Haven’t yet used the feature to attach a Hydration pack.

This backpack is great for the college student. It’s big enough to carry laptop, books, etc. But small if you need it to be. It is simple. There are just the right amount of pockets and compartments and doesn’t look like a swiss army knife. However, the straps are less than perfect. They are quite bulky and stiff. They hurt the shoulders if worn for too long. Not ideal for larger people. They wear down a bit which is good, as long as you have some patience. Other than that, all-in-all, a good buy.
