Customer Response
Great Bag for the Month it Lasted
We were really happy with this bag until the release button jammed on the handle just four weeks after we got it. The good news is that JanSport is honoring the warranty. The bad news is that the cost of shipping to their service center, which they refuse to cover, is quite high.
I like Helps
I go to A LOT of medical appointments I'm one who that's notes and asks questions. VERY Nice to have something small to roll around :D
Well made and versatile
My daughter uses this backpack every day for school. It's almost too capable - she crams about 50 pounds of books in the sturdy bag and it's held up well for a full school year. Zippers are strong. Wheels still rolling smooth. A great buy.
Good quality
This roller bag is quite sturdy, and it's convenient that there are back straps to carry like your traditional backpack (not recommended if you have the entire thing filled with heavy books, of course).
A few downsides:
-the back pouch is larger, but it has been difficult for me to fit in anything in addition to my 12" wide, 1.5" thick laptop, 2.75" textbook, and a 3" binder.
-if you're not used to rolling around a backpack on the ground, you have to be somewhat conscientious about your turns around corners because it doesn't maneuver sideways - and that's not fun when you're lugging around a ton of books in that, in addition to carrying a traditional backpack with more books (I'm a nursing student with a plethora of books and supplies).
- it is taller than it is deep - problem that will cause issues with stuffing multiple large textbooks into.
Battle Tested
This is our second Driver 8. My daughter has beat up the first one for 3 years and finally has managed to rip a hole in it with some sharp object. There was no thought about going to a different manufacturer -- JanSport makes the highest quality pack out there. We know from experience: most of the others we've owned never made it through the school year, the handle and/or the zippers wearing out with daily use. After 3 years, this Driver 8's handle and zippers are in great condition, and the pack probably would have gone longer had it not been subjected to that sharp, pointed thing which should probably have not gone in there....(ahem).
Anyway, I/we highly recommend JanSport in general and the Driver 8 in particular.
