Whenever i see a jansport bag i'm quickly transported to my days in high school. I always had one and i must admit my relationship with it has not changed one bit. They are to the bag world what Rayban is to the sunglasses world..haha i know every high school student who reads this blog can relate to this. A backpack should be owned by everyone since it balances the weight of what you're lugging equally on your shoulders. It can also serve as a gym bag, effective for camping and also as hand luggage when you are travelling by air. Those of us who commute daily by bicycle or motorbike can attest to the fact that backpacks are more comfortable than manbags.
