Review on JANSPORT Driver Size Betsy Floral by Amber White

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good bag for heavy textbooks but the wheels are noisy. change them

Read a lot of reviews about trolley bags because I wanted to use them for school textbooks. A book weighs 14 pounds. For example for RN students and possibly also law and medical students. So far so good, bought in January. The biggest complaint was the crazy classy noisy wheels that JanSport put on this bag. I wrote to them to complain. I replaced the wheels with a set I bought from Revain. Nice and quiet now. The bag has held up well throughout the spring and summer semester I'm in right now. No traces of tears or zippers. The handle still retracts and extends well, but I sprayed some dry lube on it a few months ago as a preventive measure. It would probably be nice to cover the case with silicone to make it more waterproof, but I have a case that stays in the case. At this point I would have bought another one, but I would have changed wheels immediately. Incidentally, a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver was needed to change the wheel. It took about 5 minutes. Measure your wheels before ordering and get roller skate style wheels. A pair of additional washers, the same size as the wheels and fitted to the inside of the wheel, will help prevent seizure when the bolt/axle is tightened.

Pros
  • LIFE ON THE MOVE - JanSport Driver 8 wheeled backpack converts from backpack to wheeled backpack with stowable shoulder straps
Cons
  • So far so good
