A: Thanks for reaching out to JanSport regarding pack size, choosing a backpack is is definitely a personal decision and we would reccomend the following steps. 1. Determine what will be carried in the backpack as this will help you choose a size. Be mindful that the more you carry the heavier the pack. 2. Figure out if you like one large dump compartment or if you like multiple compartments to help organize yourself. 3. If possible try a backpack on and maybe even load some weight in it to see how it feels. Every person has a little different back length and size to there is not a one size fits all. Most packs will feel okay but you will usually find one that feels better than another. 4. Choose your favorite color once you decide on which backpack you want. JanSport packs are designed to fit most 12-24 year olds so trying to fit some younger may be a challenge just from the size of the straps and the pack. Choosing a backpack is a personal decision and following these steps will hopefully make things easier. Thanks for contacting JanSport.

A: Each pocket is a little different in size. We would suggest bringing the times you would like to put inside the bag to see if they fit. Thanks for contacting JanSport.

A: I would say around a pound. It is light weight for a large backpac. The bulk of the weight is in the padding of the laptop compartment and the thick straps. They invested the weight wisely.

A: If you overload the backpack with heavy books, laptop, & accessories the seams will go overtime, so pack wisely, especially for your back. You don't need a whole stationary store in your backpack.
