JanSport The Merit Backpack

Atop the list of campus essentials, the JanSport The Merit Backpack is a spacious 2,700-cubic-inch book and gear-of-life tote that will serve as a student's closest companion throughout his or her school-age years and beyond. The Merit is outfitted with ergonomic S-curve shoulder straps that follow the natural contours of the body, with a fully padded back panel for increased cushioning comfort. The two large main compartments, meanwhile, can hold everything from books to sack lunches to gym shoes. Add in a 17-inch padded laptop sleeve and dual front utility pockets with an organizer and you have all the storage you need for your daily activities. Other backpack details include side compression straps to help you manage the load and a web loop handle. Made of 600-denier polyester, the Merit measures 13 by 18.5 by 11.4 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 1 pound 7 ounces.
