JanSport Cool Student 15-Inch Laptop Backpack-Classic School Bag, Navy, One Size

You cant go wrong with Jansport. I was looking for a Jansport with a side pocket for a water bottle and this fit the bill.

Great size for high school students. Light enough before adding all their books so that it isnt ridiculously heavy for them. Lots of room and bottom is very sturdy, so should last more than one year!

This is a great back pack. The only thing not liked is the flaps that cover the zippers. They serve a purpose but also get caught in the zippers.

This back pack is great for traveling, very roomy and durable. Does not seem like it would be great for hiking as it has no extra chest strap.

Comfortable, and super cute! 100% recommend.

A very nice, solid backpack. Jansport has never let me down.

Bought for our daughter. She loves it. It was exactly what she wanted and so far its holding up well.

Son loves it

I had a Jansport in college, several years ago. Material was, essentially, denim and the bag was almost indestructible. I let my son have it when he started junior high and he managed to damage it...but he could tear up an anvil. This bags material is thin, which is not an issue. Its just different than the old Jansport I had in college. The problem I have with this bag is twofold. First, there are flaps that cover most of the zippers. I assume they are cosmetic because they serve no other purpose other than to discourage someone from unzipping the bag in a crowd while its on the owners back. You have to flip the flap up in order to unzip, which I find mildly infuriating. Also, due to the thin, soft material, the bag falls forward when placed on a flat surface. This isnt unique to this bag. Im pretty sure most of them do this. Regardless if what you put in any of the pockets, the bag migrates forward and tries to fall over on its front. It would be cool if they would make a bag that had a rigid bottom that wouldnt fall over.

Returned it because I wanted something that was black; didn’t realize it was navy blue but it was very nice.
