JanSport Logo
JanSport’s goal is to design, engineer, manufacture and market products that will help you get from point A to point B in the most functional way possible. Consistently incorporating flexibility and functionality into their bag designs, JanSport understands that the backpack you use during the day to carry your books could very well be the same backpack you take hiking with you on the weekends.

The story of JanSport bags and apparel begins in 1967 with three friends and their love for the outdoors. Jan Lewis, Murray Pletz and Skip Yowell lived in Seattle when they created their first framepack and the first panel loading daypack. Murray had just won a design contest for "The Best New Use of Aluminum" for the framepack the trio had fabricated in the transmission shop of Skip's uncle. Once climbers on Mount Rainier and other Northwest peaks saw the new pack, they wanted one for themselves. The rest is JanSport history.

The success of JanSport’s packs reaches across the globe and into various walks of life. For nearly 40 years, JanSport has provided world class bags and apparel that can take you anywhere and everywhere. Celebrating outdoor enthusiasts from the casual walker to the mountain climber, JanSport’s packs and apparel have got your back.

I purchased this for my dad for Father's Day and it looked great. It looked a little big on him though, but he's on the shorter side. Love that Jansport has a lifetime guarantee as well so this bag should last many years of traveling!

Perfect, roomy backpack - very happy with my purchase, but it is slightly different than the picture. The black version I ordered does have the nice teal pull tags on the zippers, which I like, but it is otherwise completely black - including the back (which in the picture is gray), the insides (which in the picture looks teal), and the front right (which in the picture is dark gray). Just an FYI. It also came with tags advertising it was a "women's" backpack due to its measurements.

I bought this half pint backpack in place of carrying a purse for a trip to some national parks. This backpack was not for serious hiking all day, but just to carry some things I may need for some time outside. It is also helpful in place of a purse in inclement weather so you are hands free.

Loved it! My 3 year old uses it for our hikes and day trips. Usually fills it with toy cars and rocks. It fits him perfectly and he’ll be able to grow into it since you can adjust the straps.

Perfect backpack for my toddler to take on plane trips. We can load it up without weighing him down and he loves that it’s “his.”

Perfect size. Fits my wallet, nalgene, and a light sweater. The only thing I don't love is that when I wear a tank top, the straps rub and start itching my arm.

I needed something small to carry on walks to work and with the dogs. I was using a regular sized backpack but it was too bulky. This carries my nalgene, wallet, cell phone perfectly

The size was perfect, it was just what I wanted. I wanted a small bag to carry my electronics around. My camera, my extra batteries, portable chargers, etc. I've also used it for a day of fun at the amusement park.

I live in Philadelphia and nearly everybody carries a backpack to work for their commute. I call my JanSport Half Pint my little "urban backpack". It's the perfect size for commuting to work. And I've gotten so many compliments on the backpack. This is the second one I've bought and I love it!

My daughter uses this backpack for high school and it fits all the books and binders she has to carry around. It has two side pockets for a water bottle or umbrella. It has a soft lined compartment on top for sunglasses or a phone that allows for easy access. It seems durable. Another brand only made one semester before falling apart.

This back pack is so comfortable and can make you not realize how much stuff you have on your back! I have been on crutches and have all of my stuff in my backpack. School books (a few of which are heavy hardbacks) planners, a journal and what I would carry in a purse not to mention my hoodie and I feel like I hardly have anything on my back. I highly recommend this bag.

This is a great backpack. It is large enough to stuff everything inside - books, lunch, jacket and even extra shoes. It has held up really well to use this year. I think we will be using it for several more years.

I have an older version of this backpack that I bought three years ago, and it's been through about as much abuse as one can inflict on a backpack used for school, work, and travel. This backpack simply does not die. It's made from very lightweight materials, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's not strong or durable. It's the only backpack I've ever owned that's still roomy despite all the pockets, and also comfortable to wear. The straps are thickly padded and just glide onto your shoulders without scraping your arms. Will definitely buy again!
