## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Comes with the Jansport lifetime warranty.
-   Really sturdy and durable. Would surely last you a long time.
-   The external straps are so functional as you can attach certain things like penny boards.
-   Has lots of colors to choose from.

### Things to consider

-   The front pocket may hinder the full functionality of the external straps.
-   The back panel can leave your back sweating after some time as it doesn't allow much ventilation to your back.
-   The laptop sleeve doesn't offer much protection.

## What reviewers said

-   "So this backpack has no internet history whatsoever (if you type in west break Jansport backpack) there are no videos or mentions of it anywhere, so I was walking in blind for this purchase. Thankfully, it fits my 15.6" Razer laptop and still has plenty of room for a few folders and books I carry for school. The skateboard straps are extremely useful as I use a penny board to commute to and from school...."
-   "Saw the straps that it had and figured I could use that for my skateboard so instantly purchased. Got it today and was able to fit all of my everyday carry stuff and still had some room (Perfect size). Also really like that the water bottle pouch expands to fit my 32 oz hydro flask. Overall, the pack feels pretty high quality and I'm excited to put it to use."
-   "I was searching for a backpack I could use for commuting and for hiking. This bag offers features to do both. The bag is roomy, has a separate compartment for my laptop, an area for my lunch and dress shoes, and a side bottle holder that fits my travel coffee mug. It's lightweight and comes in my favorite color: yellow!"
