JanSport Hemi Wheeled Backpack (Black)

I bought this bag for my step-son for back-to-school. He'd been wanting one forever and we were so please when we received it. It was the one he wanted and it's big enough to fit all of his books and school supplies. We feel so much better that he won't be carrying that heavy load of books on his back. The bag is very durable and really comfortable to move around. Not awkward at all. We're really happy with our purchase and highly recommend it!

I LOVE this bag! It looks like a backpack but has no straps, so know that before you buy. As for durability, I have wheeled this thing up and down hundreds of stairs, over miles of cobblestone streets in Europe, and, according to my husband, abused it in every possible way. It takes a licking and keeps on rolling. It holds my laptop nestled safely in a padded pocket, and leaves lots of room for other stuff. It is carry-on size for airplanes, too.

Well, when I received the bag, I thought it would be bigger. The interesting thing about the bag is that although it may seem small; it actually can accommodate a lot of books and stationery. The only thing that worries me is that the bag may break. It seems flimsy. School hasn't started, so I haven't gotten a chance to try it out on campus yet. Since I go to a private school, my books are of humongous proportions and tend to wear out any bag. I hop the JanSport bag won't break; it'll be a big hassle if I have to buy a new one.

This is the best bag I've ever seen. I bought it for college, and it was much bigger than I expected, which was a great suprise with all my text books, notebooks, library books, and gym clothes that I have to cart around.
I bought 4 $20 bags that didn't last as long as this one bag has, and it still looks almost new. It's sturdy, and doesn't tip over when you stop.
I just LOVE everything about this bag, and will never buy another brand.

The JanSport Hemi is quite spacious, though not so large as to be bulky. I've never been able to use all the space. It's durable, with large wheels and a stiff handle. My last pack broke within about a month of use, but I'm guessing my Hemi will last at least a few years.

Possible Downsides:
* Not as waterproof as I'd like. One of my books was damaged from being in the front pocket during a shower. (Note that the main pocket is quite dry)
* No straps. Adds space for cargo, but it makes biking with it difficult.
