Why Choose A JanSport Backpack
from: Kyle BesserEven people who don't go camping know the brand name JanSport. JanSport backpacks are the most well known and well loved backpacks in the camping equipment industry. Most reputable outdoor sporting goods retailers carry JanSport products, and they sell tons of them every year.
JanSport makes a lot of products. JanSport is a leading manufacturer of backpacks, laptop backpacks, wheeled luggage, duffel bags, daypacks and travel accessories for the last 40 years. JanSport backpacks and luggage offer a variety of collections all made with superior quality materials. JanSport backpacks and luggage are made with attention to lightweight functional design. The JanSport SuperBreak backpack remains the #1 backpack in the world because of its classic shape and high quality.
JanSport backpacks come in all different types. Anything you could possibly be looking for in backpacks, you can find in JanSport backpacks. Whether you are a camper, a hiker, a hunter, a skier, a fisherman, a student, or a climber, JanSport makes a backpack for you.
JanSport offers both internal frame backpacks and external frame backpacks. Internal frame backpacks are taller and narrower than external frame backpacks. The frame is integrated into the interior of the internal frame backpacks, which is of course why they are called internal frame backpacks. Internal frame backpacks have aluminum stays that are hollow. Aluminum is an incredibly strong and light weight metal, so it doesn't add much weight to the internal frame backpacks.
Some of the backpacks have an additional external bar that is part of the frame. This additional external bar helps distribute weight on your body to make your journey pleasant and comfortable. As with most internal frame backpacks, there are a lot of compression straps on the outside of the backpacks. This helps with load stabilization and keeps the backpacks from slipping on your back.
JanSport backpacks offer adjustable torso straps and shoulder straps, as well as padded shoulder harnesses and hip belts. JanSport backpacks are almost all waterproof and have reinforced stitching to prevent tearing when you pull them off after a long day.
In general, JanSport backpacks have between 4 and 7 compartments for your gear. Some of the larger JanSport backpacks actually have dividers in the main compartments. These dividers work to help you organize your gear and to separate your dirty and clean clothing and gear.
Some of the larger JanSport backpacks have a detachable top pocket that converts to a hip pouch for easy access to things like compasses and maps. All of the JanSport backpacks seem to have water bottle access that is easy to get to while you are hiking.
Some JanSport backpacks have an extendable pocket in the lid to put more oddly shaped items in. All of the JanSport backpacks have mesh pockets. Some of the mesh pockets are external while others are internal. These mesh pockets make it much easier to find your gear.
