Questions and answers

Is the JanSport Cool Student worth it?
For a student who needs one roomy, tough bag for school, yes. It is a long-running model with a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 2,400 ratings, and its main weakness is that it is not water resistant.
Does it fit a 15-inch laptop?
Yes. The padded sleeve fits most 15-inch laptops, and the 34 L body leaves room for books alongside it.
Is it waterproof?
No. The fabric is abrasion resistant but not water resistant, so use a rain cover or dry bag in wet weather.
How does it compare to the JanSport SuperBreak?
The Cool Student is larger at 34 L and adds a padded laptop sleeve and organizer. The SuperBreak is lighter and simpler but has no laptop protection.
What are the dimensions and weight?
It measures 17 by 12 by 8 inches and weighs about 1.3 lb (0.6 kg).
When is it cheapest?
Back-to-school season is when demand peaks, so prices tend to be lowest in late summer sales and around Black Friday. Check the price history before buying.
