JanSport
Filters ()A legacy carried on your back
JanSport is a brand that revolutionized the way we carry our essentials back in 1967. It all started in Seattle, when the company founders designed the first top-loading backpack with a zippered opening panel. This simple yet brilliant invention changed the market forever. Over the decades, JanSport specialized in creating backpacks that became a symbol of freedom and independence. From mountain trails to school hallways and city streets – the brand’s iconic logo guarantees a truly legendary product. At Selectshop, we bring this legend into our offer, focusing on what JanSport does best: reliable urban and school backpacks.
Built to last backpacks
The secret behind JanSport backpacks lies in their legendary durability. The brand uses premium-grade materials such as tightly woven polyester and Cordura, designed to withstand everyday wear, being tossed around, or overloaded with heavy books. Every model available in our selection has been engineered for long-term use. Durable stitching, reinforced bottoms in models like the Cool Student, and nearly indestructible zippers make a JanSport backpack a long-term investment. This is gear that often serves users throughout their entire education and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are JanSport backpacks waterproof?
Most JanSport backpacks available in our offer are made from materials coated internally with a water-repellent layer. This means the backpack effectively protects its contents against light rain, moisture, or splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof products like sailing equipment, so during prolonged heavy rain, water may eventually penetrate through seams or zippers.
How should I clean a JanSport backpack without damaging it?
The manufacturer strongly recommends hand cleaning only. It’s best to use cold water and a sponge with a mild detergent to remove local stains. Machine washing is risky because intensive spinning and hot water can damage the internal protective coating and deform the foam in the shoulder straps and back panel. The backpack should be air-dried while hanging in a ventilated place, away from radiators or heaters.
Can the Cool Student model fit a 15-inch laptop?
Yes, the Cool Student is one of the best-adapted backpacks for carrying electronics. It features a dedicated compartment inside the main chamber that is padded and separated from the rest of the load. It has been designed to safely fit most standard laptops up to 15 inches, protecting the device from shocks and scratches.
What is the difference between the SuperBreak One and Big Day Pack?
The main difference is purpose and capacity. The SuperBreak One is a classic backpack with a simple single-compartment design, ideal for users who value lightweight minimalism. The Big Day Pack is a more advanced utility backpack with a significantly more developed construction. It offers greater capacity along with additional pockets and organizers, making it a better choice for users who need to carry equipment for a full day of intensive activities, not just a few classes.
Why do JanSport backpacks come with a lifetime warranty in the USA?
In the United States, JanSport is famous for its “Lifetime Warranty” policy, which reflects the brand’s confidence in its product quality. In Europe and Poland, warranty terms are regulated by local laws and distributors, but the product quality remains the same. These backpacks are made from highly durable fabrics and reinforced stitching, making them exceptionally resistant to everyday wear and capable of serving owners for many years.
