JANSPORTBig Student Large Backpack, 15 inch laptop compartment

This backpack is huge! It is almost as big as the 12 year old who I bought it for. It fits the pre-teen boy aesthetic of ‘just black, mum, I’m not 4!’ very well, and is remarkably adept at being clean. It has a multitude of pockets, compartments, clips, and other places to hide things. The laptop section is more than adequate for the Chromebook it has to carry. The main compartment has enough space for PE kit, trainers, water bottle, emergency snack, and emotional support hoodie. It’s solidly built, Northern-rainproof, and has yet to falter or fail in its duty as the holder of All The Things. It is, as I said, a little large for the child it was bought for, but the padded straps mean there have been no problems for him carrying it, and as it appears to be utterly school-proof I suspect it will see him through school, college, and probably beyond.

This Jansport backpack is very compact and looks simple, however it still gives a sleek and ergonomic design. It contains a lot of small compartments in the front with 3 main ones including a laptop/folder compartment to put your stuff and it does not feel bulky or look big or heavy despite with many items.The quality is very high, even though the overall bag is not that thick of a fabric the front compartments and zippers feel nice and smooth. The straps are also super thick and cushiony which feels very comfortable in long uses. In addition, the flaps on each zipper hides the zipper making it look more clean and which also minimises people being able to open your bag.

I love the quality of this bag. It is serving me well over the years. I also like the padded laptop compartment and the small MP3 player compartment at the top of the bag.

ComfortableLoads of pocketsWell madeGreat price

Excellent quality and plenty of room

Great quality item which, after lots of usage, still looks like new.

I bought this for my 11 year old for school. She loves the comfort of the straps and the padding on the back. Loads of space in different compartments. Very sturdy, waterproof and fit for purpose.

The bottle mesh ripped within days. The laptop compartment provides little protection, the laptop touches the floor when you place the backpack down. No tablet sleeve.I expected better quality from a named brand. Disappointing purchase.
