Since moving into a new office space, I have been searching for a new gym back that has space for both my gym stuff, lunch, my iPad and most importantly my laptop. I currently have a decent bag but with running shoes in it, the thing kind of bulges and presses against my laptop screen (which I don’t want to damage obviously). My prayers have been answered by JanSport, not to mention it came in black covered in a grid of iry colours!
The bag has a number of compartments, including two main ones which are perfect for the bulk of my gear including a towel, clothing, running shoes, shower stuff, chargers and extension cord. The front pouch is perfect to pop some lunch in, along with a compartment for my phone, wallet and keys. The top has a sick zip style pouch which is PERFECT for my shades and they are yet to get damaged, winning. But, the best of all is a vertical 17″ zip down the back of the bag which perfectly houses my iPad and laptop!
I can safely say this is probably the best bag I have ever had and it comes with a 20 year guarantee! To celebrate their South African launch, JanSport is running a competition [click here] on their new Facebook Page where fans stand the chance to win one of five designer JanSport backpacks. The entry mechanic is simple; just fill in where you can buy yourself a JanSport bag in South Africa. The competition closes on Thursday the 28th of March 2013.
