Jansport Backpacks in Backpack Brands

Can I use a regular backpack to hold my laptop?

Any backpack can technically hold your laptop, though some are specially designed to do so and will say so in the product details. Check the height of the backpack to make sure it will fit your laptop, making sure there is an extra inch of space. A bag with a curved top will need extra height to fit your square computer. Backpacks designed to hold your computer will have a special pocket with safety lining to prevent breakage.

How much weight can I put into my backpack?

Regular school backpacks can handle about 20 to 30 pounds of weight. Make sure to adjust the straps to your size to prevent back and neck pain from carrying excessive weight.

Can I wash my backpack in the washing machine?

Polyester blends can usually be washed in the washing machine, but suede and leather should not be. To avoid warping the shape of your backpack, you can handwash it and hang it to dry.
