Review on Navy JanSport Firewire Core Backpack by Heather Richardson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good packaging for the right person

Okay, first there's a design flaw. Annoyingly, the bottom of the computer bag doesn't stop at the padding that hugs the back. There is an approximately 1" deep hole that allows your notepad to slip out from under the padding and poke you from behind until you want to pull your hair out. I solved this problem by stuffing the towel from the flour bag into the slot and everything is fine now. The Pros: I'm a 5ft 3in female and this is the first backpack that has fit me. The shoulder straps are smaller and higher than I had before. No more back pain! Although I understand that high reviewers will have problems here. I have no idea how the backpack will fit comfortably on it. The Firewire backpack is really well designed with durable material, it's not very big as a travel backpack but bigger than a regular book bag with enough space for my books, lunch, jacket, 15 inch mactop and everything I need else need. I don't think they made the fabric zippers cheaper, but added one less zipper per set to make it look less loaded. I love the aesthetic too. Clean and simple without too much fuss. I'm 34 and I don't want to wear anything that makes me look like I'm in my 20s. So for me this is the perfect backpack. in your computer bag!
