JanSport Big Student vs Osprey Radial Bike Commuter Pack

The only downside is that it doesn't have a cushion thingy for laptops. I can survive without it though.

I own the 26L first version of this and now 3 of the 26L/32L updated version. The one really bad drawback on this new version of the laptop pocket. It's curved and puts a ton of strain on the laptop and I can see it damaging the screen. Instead, put your laptop in the front section

especially the sturdy handle and comfortable back support, but it’s too small. Any recommendations for something that combines the 2 backpacks? I work in the tech industry and am also a graduate student, so I carry a mix of technology and books with me on a daily basis.

The shape is nice; it’s more square than other Osprey packs. This lends itself to packing better for me because I like to use pouches and cubes, and I like the look. I personally would prefer it to be a little smaller though. I use it as an EDC/personal carry on item when flying and it’s larger than I need for an EDC and doesn’t quite fit the personal item dimensions

The padded straps were very cushiony upon purchase but with time and heavy textbooks, they did eventually rip. If you know how to sew, it can be fixed though.

(really nice to know it is there in a heavy storm) * Zipper extenders are a nice touch. They seem durable. * Adjustable strap for the shoulder for better resting on your back (a reason why I purchased) * Adjustable height button for shoulder strap. (Nice feature that is kind of hidden until you look at it) * Side shove it zip pocket is very handy * Mesh support to keep the bag off your back is nice

We bought this after the zipper on our 5th grade son's zipper broke on his Spiderman backpack. We talked him into getting on he could use over the next few years. We decided on this one and he loves it. He is excited because his lunchbox fits in it easily with his folders and books

The zip to expand and contract volume is awesome. I have set mine up not to just commute, but I can live out of it, and often for 3-4 days I do. If I was coaching up myself, get it. Use it
