Our take on the JanSport Cross Town Backpack - Black

The JanSport Cross Town is a stripped-down everyday backpack: one large main compartment, a front utility pocket with an organizer panel, a side water bottle pocket, and padded straight-cut shoulder straps with a padded back panel. It is the kind of pack you grab for class, a commute or a day out, with no laptop sleeve, no external frame and no frills. Against rivals like the JanSport SuperBreak it trades the second compartment for a cleaner single-bag layout, and against laptop-oriented campus packs it gives up device protection. Owners rate it well for durability and simplicity, and the common complaints are thin padding and a main compartment that swallows small items.
