WHY YOU NEED IT
Is there anything more classic than a JanSport backpack? Comfortable, reliable, and complete with plenty of pockets, you can't go wrong.

USER REVIEW
"JanSport is the best brand for backpacks because they are stylish, durable, and have a FABULOUS repair program. If you buy a JanSport, you have purchased a product that lasts a lifetime! Whenever our kids (or we) break a zipper or wear out a seam, we simply contact the company and, for the cost of shipping, get it repaired quickly and well. The only downside is the sheer amount of colors and designs to pick from, but that, in my opinion, is a great problem to have!"
