Exactly what it says on the package
Handle pulls up easily, lots of space inside, not too heavy if you want to wear it
Why would anyone design a backpack with a single center shaft?
I really don't understand how anyone could possibly think that this is a good design. I considered buying this backpack and a similar one by Jeep, but quickly realized that it was guaranteed to break almost anything you could possibly carry in it other than clothing because of the single center bar.
To demonstrate the problem, put a pencil against the corner of your kitchen counter. Press on both ends of the pencil. What happens? The pencil breaks. The kitchen counter is acting as a fulcrum, the pencil as a lever with substantial force on both ends. In a similar fashion, when you put a book in this sort of backpack, everything else in the bag is pushing on both sides of that book, but the book is supported only in the center by that single vertical post. Unless you only carry light stuff in the bag, you're almost guaranteed to end up with bent notebooks, books with broken backs, laptops with cracked screens, and so on. It's quite possibly the worst backpack design mistake in the history of backpacks.
If you don't care about the stuff you're carrying, by all means, buy one of these. If what you are carrying has any value at all, do yourself a favor and buy something with a more traditional double handle or wait for the designers to come up with a single handle built into a solid back so that it doesn't turn your cargo into a lever with a heavy weight at both ends. There's not enough crack in the world for this design to make sense.
JanSport Driver 8 Wheeled Pack
I bought this wheeled backpack for my son who always seems to have way too many books to carry from school. So far we are very pleased! He loves the many different zippered areas as well as the ease of the handle. We had purchased a smaller, cheaper wheeled backpack last year and he struggled not only with the lack of space for all his things but he also disliked the way the wheels didn't allow any flexibility....this backpack is a bit pricey (reason for 4 stars and not 5) but I do believe we will more than get our money's worth out of it! We are definately recommending this to anyone who is questioning which wheeled backpack to get!
After 4 months it broke!?!?
I was in the market for a new computer bag and I also needed a bag for school and work. My current bag was putting a major strain on my shoulders and I wanted to get a rolling bag that didn't look too business. When I first found the JanSport bag I was thrilled, it was sporty, had wheels, and looked well built. After 4 monthes of normal use, the retractable handle is BROKEN! I plan on writing a letter to the company to let them know of my disappointment with this product. Buyer beware!
Good backpack for teenagers
My son used a backpack with wheels from LL Beans last year and liked it. But toward the end of 7th grade, it became apparent that the handle was too short for him. I checked LL Beans and Lands End but could not find one with longer handle. This backpack is mainly for travellers because it has a paded pocket for laptop which he does not need. It is well constructed with sturdy handle. Although it is more expensive than the other brands, I think it is worth the money if you get it from Amazon at a discounted price. I am not sure if I will buy it at retail price.
