Nice and Sturdy 
I bought this to replace a different rolling backpack brandalso begins with a J, that fell apart after less than a month of use by my second grader. The other brands wheels fell off and the handle broke, stuck in the up position. So far, this one is a huge improvement over the other model. A little more expensive, but seems like its built to last. : 2012-04-24 01:27:56
Great Bag for hauling 20 lbs of books
I had to get this for my 10 year old to carry is books. Sad day when he could not carry all of the books he needed.

Great travel backpack
This backpack works great for airline travel and all around just taking along your laptop, iPad, cameras, chargers, meds, bagged liquids, sweatshirt, etc. The side pockets worked great for easy access to passports and boarding passes. It actually fit under the seat in front of me on the airplane once I took out the laptop which I always use to watch movies when in flight. It has a laptop sleeve which protects the laptop and I use my own neoprene iPad sleeve. All of my devices that I need to access at the airport or on the plane are in easy reach with this rolling backpack. I love the plaid color inserts which help it stand out from all of the solid black ones. I prefer this over other lighter colors which get dirty looking easily. I would highly recommend this for students, travelers and those living in a high rise! : 2012-04-24 01:27:21
Love it!
I am currently a nursing student, and I really needed a bag with the capability of holding several large books, water bottle, notebooks, lunch, pencils, Iclicker, etc. This does it all! It rolls easy and the handle is comfortable and sturdy. Some great pockets in the front for all your bits and bobs. Zippers appear to be strong, as I have had no problems, and Jansport has a lifetime warranty on the bag. Couldn be happier! : 2012-04-24 01:27:04
Great School Bag
I bought this for my son beause it seemed big and it is. Its the only one Ive found that will hold all his books, has lots of pockets to hold water, pencils, notes, etc. and rolls well. Very easy to maneuver. : 2012-04-24 01:26:46
So Good........They Stole It!
I had one of these ruggedly strong bags which I used to traverse the NYC subways. It had a nice black color. The thing was just freaking unbreakable. It was so damn good that one day somebody just up and stole it. I am not mad. I just want another one. : 2012-04-24 01:26:28
best rolling backpack ever
This will hold two of my binders, two large textbooks and still room for my laptop and my lunch. There is room in front for pens and odds and ends and the large wheels will roll over just about anything without mishap. The only downside is that sometimes when I really load it up, it looks like there is too much pressure on the zipper, so Im careful. : 2012-04-24 01:26:06
Best of two worlds
My JanSport Driver 8 is a USED one I got on Amazon. I suppose you could say its been around the block... I fumigated it.
Mine seems to be well made. Fairly good materials. The handle is intact and extends/retracts as it should. It is long enough when extended. It seems to be well anchored to the pack! The pack is light weight. It has good wheels that spin freely but they show signs of wear. They appear to be replaceable. The pack is just about the right size too.
The shoulder straps store in a pouch until needed. Mine will see action on a trip across Southern Europe in 2012. We travel as cheaply as possible!
I give it 5 stars because though it is used it is still in good shape! : 2012-04-24 01:25:47
Excellent backpack for College use
This is a great wheeled backpack. I have used it now for 8 months without any problems. I have since ordered another, just to help alleviate the need to keep switching backpacks with all my books. I have taken it through, rain, snow, ice, and of course good weather. It is holding up great, not any issues at all.
I was a bit worried about the issue with the one handle damaging my books after reading the review so I put a piece of cardboard very thin, in the back of that compartment, and then place my books in front of it. I have had no problems, I really am not sure I need to take that extra precaution, but I did just to be safe.
I am physically unable to carry a regular backpack, so I have not tried that feature, but for a wheeled pack I am very happy.
The inner compartments are also very nice, and the two pockets, are large enough to carry my ipod touch. The side mesh is able to hold two water bottles. Of course there is also a lap top compartment, although I rarely use that area for a lap top, books fit into it nicely as well.

My back thanks you, JanSport
After beginning nursing school in August 2011, I quickly realized a rolling backpack would be a necessity. The amount of books I have to carry to and from school, were way too much weight on my back. Ive purchased JanSport backpacks in the past and was using a JanSport when school started no wheels. However, I wasn sure I wanted to pay the price of a rolling backpack. A friend of mine purchased another brand at a local discount store and within 1 month of school, it began to fray and this month, it started to tear. She paid thirty dollars for her non-JanSport. I knew if I bit the bullet and paid the higher price, I wouldn regret it. And, I was right!!!! Ive had my rolling JanSport since October and I LOVE IT! It rolls smooth and holds all my books. Im extremely happy with my purchase. Thanks Amazon for a great deal! And Thanks JanSport for an awesome product! : 2012-04-24 01:24:57
Back Saver
As a nursing student, we frequently need to carry multiple large text books, along with a computer, this bag is up for the challenge! I would highly suggest getting this bag if looking for a good quality wheeled bag. It has stood up through snow and rain and -30 temperatures so far this year, and i have only had it not even a month yet! : 2012-04-24 01:24:00
Excellent
Excellent backpack! Im a masters student at a medical school and like to trek my way to the library to keep up with the med students. Of course I want to carry everything I would possible need while Im there! I spent 4 hours looking up rolling backpacks to save my back and could not find ones that fit my 17 inspiron dell notebook and my huge books. This backpack wasn clear on the laptop size it holds, but all of the reviews said it was big, so i figured that if it didn hold my laptop id just put a book in that pocket. But it came today and my lap top fit!!! and fit my books!! and a second pocket to fit my notebooks!! and the front pocket is big to hold ur charger/wallet/car keys/ snacks/and writing materials! Getting this back pack made my day. I also loved the chocolate chip color! Who doesn want to have their backpack look awesome as well. Never thought Id spend 80$ on a back pack but so glad I did! : 2012-04-24 01:23:36
Outlasted the others
My daughter has gone through 2 rolling backpacks in a matter of months. She is a 5th grader so she has a lot of books and she walks to school 1/4 of the time. We finally decided to try out the Jansport version and its been about a year with no problems. The wheels are still rolling, the zippers are still zipping and the handle is still sturdy. Its worth the price!!! : 2012-04-24 01:23:20
Great backpack for a college student
I chose this bag for its wheeled feature. This bag is sturdy and the wheels are appropriately sized. I wanted a backpack for my college student that wouldn be more difficult to manage on wheels than to carry on ones back. This product has met my expectations. : 2012-04-24 01:22:57
Well made and versatile
My daughter uses this backpack every day for school. Its almost too capable - she crams about 50 pounds of books in the sturdy bag and its held up well for a full school year. Zippers are strong. Wheels still rolling smooth. A great buy. : 2012-04-24 01:22:41
