Description

With almost 2,100 cubic inches of storage space, the Jansport Big Student Backpack is ready for years of full course loads and extra credit assignments. While other popular backpacks feature laptop sleeves, the Jansport Big Student lets you configure the storage to fit your specific needs. The two roomy main compartments offer enough space to accommodate most laptop computer models with 15-inch screens, so all that space isn't wasted on a padded sleeve compartment for electronics that you might not need to use. Jansport applied a fully padded backpanel and ergonomic S-Curve™ shoulder straps for improved comfort and support. S-Curve™ shoulder straps feature dense EVA foam in a low-compression design that follows upper body contours, so it's less likely to dig in and chafe like some cheap discount backpacks. The front utility pocket is sized right for a portable music player and features an organizer for pens, pencils, erasers, note pads and other small school and office essentials.

My daughter asked for this bookbag for a long time. She absolutely loves it. It came in very quickly and is a wonderful product. It is exactly as indicated on the website. She is 5'4'' and has found this bookbag to be a good size for her. It carries most of what she brings to school, but as she said, if it were any bigger and she filled it up, it would be too heavy for her, so the size is good.

Good Backpack, But Could Be Sturdier
December 14, 2011

If you're looking for an absolutely huge backpack for a middle or high school student with lots of homework, the JanSport Big Student Backpack is a good choice. The pack is truly massive, with sections for holding just about anything your student can conceivably be expected to take to or from school. But while the size is impressive, the quality is not. Although well sewn, the seams are not reinforced, which makes us wonder how long the backpack will last under the weight it is required to hold. As well, the pack does not feature a heavily padded back, which makes carrying it slightly uncomfortable when it is filled to the brim with books. While the back is padded, it is thin when compared with other large student packs in the same price range. The best part of this backpack may be the sheer number of fabric patterns form which to choose. This may seem silly, but having a fun-looking backpack can offer a tiny psychological boost at the end of the day, when kids are faced with hauling home copious numbers of books for hours of homework!

Pros: fun fabric, large size
Cons: very little padding for comfort

Great sturdy backpack
September 09, 2010

This backpack has different compartments which are easily accessible and stores my laptop. It is sturdy and although I have a lot of books in the backpack it does not feel heavy.

Great Bag With Lots of Space
August 05, 2010

I use this for work and it holds all my water bottles, laptop and workpapers when I travel. I really like having two big sections to store all of these items and not having to cram everything into one section.

Big enough for 3

Finally! A backpack big enough for those 3" binders required in high school at a great price.
