I bought 4 of these, all in different colors, for a Christmas angel list. They were the perfect size, and held quite a lot of goodies for preteens! Quality is great, and the colors were exactly what the pictures portrayed. Very nice variety! Read more

JanSport is a classic brand, I had a few back in high school and they could handle multiple textbooks just fine. This specific backpack is a mini version I plan to use while doing excursions on cruises, it’s little, comfortable for all day wear, lightweight and good quality. Price was fantastic too. Added photos for others to get a good idea of its size Read more

Prior to this purchase, I owned a red Jansport Mini Backpack since the year of 2006 and I absolutely love how practical they are for various everyday needs. First and foremost, the design of this mini backpack is fantastic. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns to suit your personal style. I opted for a classic black one, and it goes well with any outfit. Despite its smaller size, the Jansport Mini Backpack offers ample storage space. The main compartment comfortably fits my essentials like a wallet, phone, keys, and 2 standard plastic water bottles. There's also a front zippered pocket that's perfect for items I need quick access to, like my headphones or hand sanitizer. The organization within the bag is well thought out. Durability is a significant plus point for this backpack. Jansport is known for its quality, and this mini version lives up to that reputation. The zippers are robust, and the stitching is solid. The only minor downside is that, the straps are not padded so if you choose to carry heavier items, then it could become uncomfortable. However, for someone like me who values portability and simplicity, it's the ideal choice. I primarily use it when attending fairs, themeparks, playgrounds, but it can be used for any occasion that suites your lifestyle. Read more

I love this little backpack, I use it as a photographer to carry little supplies and hold my clients belongings while we are walking around. I have also used it at the airport for travel. It's a great size. The reason for 4 stars is I hate the shoulder straps. I wish they were padded just a little, they are quite uncomfortable on my shoulders. Otherwise this is a nice quality bag, zippers work great, and it has multiple functions for storage. The price kinda makes me feel better about the straps, lol. Read more

These Jansport Half Pint Mini Backpacks are the best. I’ve been using them for the past 20 years. They are so durable and don’t break. The only reason I ever update on getting another one is just to get a new color. Best mini backpacks. Read more

I've been wanting a new purse for a while and was set on finding a backpack style. I happened to come across this one even though it wasn't necessarily the style I was looking for and I decided to order it because I thought it was a good deal for $20. I've loved JanSport since a teen, and I think what I love most is the fact that their designs and level of quality has remained the same all these years. It's the perfect size for my needs (big enough without being too much but not too little for my 9 inch tablet), and helps keep my purse contents in check due to the limited space. It's obviously not the most comfortable for wearing for long stretches with considerable weight due to the basic nylon straps, but I personally wanted a backpack because I don't think an evenly distributed load of any weight over my back feels half as bad as carrying anything over 5 pounds on one shoulder for any stretch! If I wasn't keeping it for myself, this would be adorably perfect as a TK toddler's first backpack. Great little buy for the price! Read more
