JanSport Driver Metro Roller Daypack
Wednesday, October 8, 2008 | | |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 :DWell 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.rolling backpack
Backpack appeared to be great, held all the necessary books, but unfortunately it is already coming apart! They just don't make them strong enough for the wear and tear they are put through. Personally I've yet to find a backpack that is made strong enough. The backpack I am talking about is a Jansport Driver 8 Wheeled Backpack.Keyword : Drivers
