Everyday backpack in a bright, uncluttered setting

JanSport Right Pack Backpack Review

We may earn a commission from some links on this page.

The Right Pack keeps a familiar backpack layout: a roomy central compartment, smaller front storage and a side bottle pocket. The suede bottom is part of its appearance as well as its construction. It offers a different experience from a rigid briefcase or a heavily divided travel pack. The useful question is whether your everyday load benefits from that simple layout.

Who it suits

It suits a campus or daily-carry shopper who wants one bag for books, a laptop and loose essentials. It is a weaker match if you need rigid protection, a waterproof enclosure or extensive camera-style dividers. Compare the actual laptop dimensions and selected colour or fabric version, since not every Right Pack variation uses identical materials.

Pros and limitations

  • Reason to consider it: A useful everyday backpack option when you want a simple main compartment, laptop sleeve and bottle pocket.
  • Trade-off: The published sleeve description is not proof that every laptop with the same screen diagonal will fit.
