The read
What's actually worth knowing.
The padded laptop sleeve fits up to 15 inches, so you need to verify your device will actually fit before buying.
It's relatively light at under a pound, which is helpful if you're carrying it all day, but the smaller footprint means it won't hold as much as larger travel backpacks.
The padded back panel and shoulder straps are built for comfort during regular use, though this is a work and school backpack rather than a heavy-duty hiking pack.
As of Aug 31, the JanSport Cross Town Plus Backpack is a good price at $27.99 — versus a $43.15 typical price and a $27.95 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
