JanSport Lamark Review

Innovative and very boyish – these were my thoughts when I first saw JanSport Lamark backpack at an online store. Indeed, it’s design is very attractive, but it doesn’t have those certain curves and decisions that would turn Jansport Lamark into a bag for girls. I would guess it’s probably best for the boys and men of 12 years old and above.

And yes, I fell in love with this JanSport backpack straight from the moment I first saw it, and my older son wouldn’t have dreamt of a better bag, that’s for sure. Water repellant, it’s great for the bicycle runs, gym sessions and transporting lods of books to and from school :)

JanSport Lamark comes with many great features for space and comfort like two main compartments of a L size. Standard front utility pocket, which’s present in 95% of JanSport backpacks, with organizer to keep smaller things in order. Front mesh pocket for even more smaller things! :) There are also water bottle pockets on both sides. As you can see, there is everything for students and travelers alike :)

Comfort wise it is, once again, the same as most of the JanSport backpacks, meaning it IS comfortable to carry. Biovent, as they call it, S-curve shoulder straps as well as the back panel reduce shoulder and back load considerably. Less load equals less sweat and less smell :) There is also a hypalon grab handle in case you can’t or don’t want to wear the backpack the usual way.


JanSport Lamark is yet another great backpack in JanSport line of backpacks, designed with the male part of humanity in mind. From school to mountains it is made to remain durable and stylish, thus securing any man’s satisfaction :)

P.S. Although as I learned later, girls like the red styled version of this backpack very much…!

JanSport Spectrum Mesh Backpack

JanSport Spectrum backpack is probably the cutest backpack of all JanSports :) At least it is to my taste. Primarily styled for girls, it would be good for younger boys too, just as long as it’s not pink colored : )

In all honesty, this JanSport backpack just emanates that girly feeling about it. Well, it’s pink and red versions, at least. This fact would probably make it fit for ladies of 7 to 25 years of age :) Other styles look more unisex though, thus would suit boys of 7-18 years of age. I don’t see the overall style of this backpack playing along to anyone older than that. It does look like a teenage backpack, although overall design raises the upper age plank for girls.

An interesting feat of this JanSport backpack is that it is mesh at the bottom and is not reinforced, although back still has a padded panel built in for comfort. Padded shoulder straps can be adujsted for even more carrying conform and to reduce possible strain on the host’s back.

The main compartment is considerably big, allowing one to carry enough books for a day in school or even a change of clothes for gym (that’s why it’s also a great backpack for girls who like to watch out for their looks ;) . Front pocket is traditionally outfitted with an organizer and a stash pocket, allowing to keep smaller things in order.

Unfortunately this backpack is susceptible to water (not waterproof generally), thus it’s best not to get caught under a rain with it.

This JanSport backpack is also an awesome gift! :) I can’t forget the look on my daughter’s face when I got this for her 8th birthday. It’s just that great a backpack :) Of course, more mature ladies can still use it for their sport endeavours, as well as it just looks nice adding to your overall look. It’s is comfortable, light and stylish, what else would you ever need in a bag?:)

JanSport Deranged Review

If style and design have meaning in your life, yet you want comfort to be number one as well then JanSport Deranged backpack is right for you. Awesome for school, a bit less awesome, but still useful, for outdoor traveling - JanSport Deranged is an awesome backpack :)

To be precise I wouldn’t recommend this JanSport backpack to anyone over 30, probably because this backpack was created with younger generation in mind. Of course, everything is up to your own sense of style and taste, but it’s design is innovative and approach to it’s style is engaging. Just what young people like :) From my point of view it would be a great pick for anyone intersted in street fashion.

Functionality isn’t too much different from what Jansport usually has to offer. There is one main compartment for books or other important things and an internal sleeve for a 15″ sized laptop. A V-loft pocket has an accessory organizer to keep all the essential tools in order, so you want to have to go through all the things in your backpack looking for something small and important. There are also two external pockets for small things if you don’t want to keep them inside. Pretty handy for ID cards and things like that.

Comfort wise this JanSport backpack stands in the same line as all the other Jansport bags. It’s light and doesn’t strain your shoulders with it’s S-curved shoulder straps.

JanSport Deranged is a good bag for ages of 12 to infinity, offering an unusual design and enough functionality. It’s not big, thus making it a good backpack for younger teens, but this might be a problem for travellers, and using it as a main travel backpack is not recommended. For schools and air/train/bus trips this backpack is perfect though.
