JanSport

When it comes to backpacks for either the campus or the trail, JanSport has some great and quite cost effective packs. JanSport Backpacks are tough enough to stand up to the abuse students can dish out and work great for daypacks or weekend overnight bags.

1. Jansport Superbreak Backpack

   
   This bag has been around for a long time and there is a great reason for that. It is one tough and highly durable backpack. I'm not sure which is tougher duty for a pack, being used to scale mountains or being dragged to school on the bus each day and overstuffed with text books. Actually, the abuse that students heap upon their bags far exceeds how any climber would treat their gear. The great thing is that the Jansport Superbreak can take the abuse and actually survive more than a single school year.

   Simple and practical, the large main compartment can easily contain plenty of books making it perfect for grade school, high school or even college students. A convenient front pocket delivers easy access to your cell phone, wallet or pens and pencils, while the padded shoulder straps and back panel provide comfort for lengthy hikes across campus or over a mountain trail. Plus you can find these for less than $30.00!
