Very well made. Sturdy and straps are substantial. Got it for my Grandson in high school and he says it is better than others he has had in the past.

Love just about everything about this backpack - except the #*&^%!!! zippers!!! I've owned JanSport backpacks for DECADES!!! I can't see anything on this one that indicates it's some sort of knock-off, except maybe the zippers. They keep getting snagged in the little "flaps" above them that I think are designed to keep water out. If you are in any way handicapped and can't use more than one hand/arm, you will need to use your toes or something to get into this backpack. Either I have to fold the fabric out of the way or it will take multiple pulls on the zippers to get in. The only zippers that don't give me a hard time are the two tiny pockets that don't have a flap over them. I'm already seeing the flaps getting frayed from all the times the zippers have gotten caught. Oh, well. I'm no longer in the military, so I guess this might be the last backpack I need to buy anyway. But I'm certainly never buying one online again.

We had ordered another backpack prior to ordering this. It looked great, but was too small. I chose this backpack by reviews and reputation. We ordered the black and the insides are white which was a bad choice in my opinion The interior is this and does not have great pencil etc storage like his previous backpacks. It seems to have a laptop pouch with no protection. The zippers are a bit awkward as other reviews have stated. It is a lot to do with the covering lip that goes over them which is great for protection, but may not be great for kids who get material caught in zippers. It is a bit smaller than I thought, but does hold my sons 2 inch binder a lot of previous backpacks do not have a wide enough opening so this was a plus. My older son came home with the same backpack that was black, but white on the front. It was dirty looking on the white he said it does not clean well, but he has a few years and somewhat happy with it. My biggest complaint at this time would be the white thin inside material just why would you do this and it needs to be more obvious that it has white inside. It reminds me of an old cheap purse lining. I imagine it will show pen marks etc and be hard to clean stains, but we will see. The handle on the top is so so and comfort padding for straps and back seem somewhat lacking. He has only carried a couple of weeks so I will try to remember to update this review.

I would recommend this backpack to any students since it holds a lot of things and it doesn’t break like the other ones. I really like the design and it just looks good overall.

I work at a library so I needed something sturdy that can hold the many stacks of books that I check out regularly. As well as all my regular day to day items and my lunch. This was it! It fits so much stuff and it is so sturdy. I’m really glad I purchased this.
