Customer Reviews JanSport Big Student

My son is a freshman and i figured a regular Jansport backpack was fine. Nope, i needed to find him a bigger back pack and this was PERFECT for him. He no longer has to cram everything inside.

I am very happy with this purchase. Great quality and plenty of room.

I bought this for my son at his request, it is a replacement for the almost exact same back pack I bought him when he was in junior high school fifteen years ago. After taking him all through jr high, high school, college and beyond it had started to show some wear with a small tear close to one seam. As it has a lifetime guarantee I could have returned it to JanSport for a repair, I have done that once when another backpack failed after quite a short time, but after so long it would not be fair to do that. I don't want to put JanSport out of business as they make such good products! He felt it was time for a new one to use for his workout gear and decided on the 'forge grey', it is a good mid grey color, not too light. I expect this backpack to last as long as the first one, it is well designed and has enormous capacity. Reading my glowing review you might think I was paid for it - but I can confirm that I know no one at JanSport or Zappos and have not been asked/paid to make this report.

This backpack is big and functional and most importantly not too heavy empty. This is my high school daughter's second big student. She loves them.

I bought this bag for my daughter's dance class and it's great! I love the room and how big it is. She can fit all her shoes in there along with clothes. The straps are also very comfy on her shoulders.

Bag is big enough to carry our stuff.

Love this backpack! I bought it for my Thanksgiving trip and got several compliments on it. It is quite large inside and is very comfortable to wear. Would highly recommend.

My daughter loves this bag. We ordered a bag (different brand, from a different website), and it was way too small, even though it cost more than this one. Can't beat JanSport quality or Zappos customer service.

My son came home from school asking for a "jansport backpack" so I happily ordered this. He is in middle school and has lots of books and binders - and they all fit in this! It is perfect size for him to wear now and for years to come.

My 15 year old daughter loves this backpack. Really sturdy and roomy.

The zipper in the middle section always gets stuck. We now had to cut it and the entire section won't close.

Great product!

Great brand for backpacks. They never disappoint.

I bought this for my 8th grader daughter. It's a HUGE backpack that fits everything. But it's not bulky at all. When the bag is not filled up, it looks like a normal backpack. But when you put everything to fill up this bag, it expands enormously. Very sturdy. The water bottle pouch on the side is a big plus. Jansport should make all their backpacks with these so water won't spill.

Ordered this backpack for my daughter for back to school (6th grade) and she absolutely loves it! The colors pop and its jansport so super high quality that should last forever. Shipping was fast and it was delivered earlier than expected

The Jansport Big Student backpack was an excellent choice for my high school student son. It has a great deal of carrying space for all his textbooks, binders, and folders. Additionally, it has a mesh net on the side for carrying a large juice cup. Further, there is a section to store his lunch bag at the top so the sandwiches don't get crushed. All in all a winner in every way - especially the padded shoulder straps.

I BOUGHT THIS TO REPLACE MY HUSBANDS BROKEN ZIPPERED OLD BACKPACK BY OUTDOORS. THIS IS AS DESCRIBED. I WOULD JUST ADD THAT THE BIGGEST POCKET IS THE BACK POCKET. THIS IS ALSO THE PADDED POCKET FOR A LAPTOP. WOULD PROBABLY FIT A LAPTOP AND A COLLEGE TEXT BOOK IN THAT ONE POCKET WITH ROOM TO SPARE. I LIKE THE LIFETIME WARRENTEE THAT JANSPORT AND ZAPPOS PROVIDES AS I HOPE THIS REALLY DOES LAST MY HUSBAND A LONG LONG TIME, IN FACT A LIFE TIME!

This is a perfect backpack for my high school freshman. She used a Jansport Super Break (interior = 1550 cubic inches) throughout middle school, but found she needed the Jansport Big Student (2100 cubic inches) to accommodate all her extra stuff. I am very happy to find a simple, lightweight, roomy backpack from a time-trusted brand. Thanks for quick shipping, as always, Zappos!

it is a nice simple and practical bag. As far as I am concerned just the right number of pockets to keep from having to hunt for every little thing. Well constructed. The catch is that there isn't chance that the bag will survive the school year. Considering that it will hold a ton of books it will just not hold up. Especially since my son now 14 is going to treat it exactly as he should, rough and tough. Too bad it doesn't come in a stronger fabric with zippers and reinforced bottom that might get through the year.

I bought this backpack for my 13 year old grand daughter to carry to school. She wanted lots of pockets and a bigger pavk than her previous jamsport which is a simple 1 bib pocket pack. She loves this one. She said it will keep her lunch and electronics and books all sparate. And she wanted simple all black.

This is the backpack that all the cool kids have or want. My son (ninth grade) was extremely pleased by this backpack. From my perceptive it looks like every backpack that I have seen on all the kids this year.

This is a fantastic backpack. My son just started high school, and we got him the same reliable brand of backpack that we used when we were in school, many years ago! Solid, sturdy construction, great looks - I know this one will last for years. He loves it!

This backpack is exactly what I was looking for for my 7th grader. He carries a very large binder plus lunchbox, and this is the only backpack we could find that is large enough.

It has padding on the back side so when hanging it, the sharp corners of books or stuff does not hurt your back. Big Student previously did not have that. Good addition. Extra pocket too.

Great size and very roomy, good quality, and nice classic design! My son loves it! It fits all his high school binders as they do not have lockers.
