Review by Marissa Mastrangeli for JanSport Elefunk Core Series Messenger Bag, Navy Rating: Be careful when buying this bag. It is much larger than it appears. I was looking for a bag to use for college for carrying around my books, and when I got this I was very disappointed. It is extremely wide, and I'm not sure what kind of textbook or laptop would be that wide. It would not be suitable for easy, on the go, carrying or biking. Be forewarned.

Review by Erin L. Bigger for JanSport Elefunk Core Series Messenger Bag, Navy Rating: I purchased this bag for my partner who is pursuing college. He absolutely loves this bag. There are a number of zippered compartments on the body of the bag. The front flap also has a small pocket for easy access externally which, is secured by clips that attach to the bottom of the bag. Beneath the flap is another zippered compartment that is very handy. It has a number of pockets, a key ring, among other areas to keep yourself organized, this zippered area provides a secure place to carry a wallet or music player without having the worry of being pick-pocketed. We live in Chicago and this is a wonderful commuter bag as well. The strap has an adjustable pad for heavier loads as well as a padded back for wearing while biking. There is also a netted external pouch for bottles. The main compartment of the bag is secured by a long zipper that runs the length of the opening and also has a padded divider for occasionally transporting any size laptop. It was money well spent, as he'll be sure to use the bag for years to come. I hope this helps in your decision.

Review by Jacquelyn A. Beiter for JanSport Elefunk Core Series Messenger Bag, Navy Rating: I use this bag for my books and supplies, and recently my laptop. Yes, there are problems with weight distribution, but it's a messenger bag, and that's to be expected. Lots of space for all of my stuff. Jansport is a reputable brand, and the product has performed well for me.

Review by Kathy S. Grossman for JanSport Elefunk Core Series Messenger Bag, Navy Rating: I love this bag - it is sturdy and holds a lot in a compact space. There is a padded inner compartment for your laptop with plenty of extra room for files or books. The fabric is good quality. I don't know why they call the color purple mash as you can see from the picture it is really quite pink. I also don't know why they call it a backpack when it is clearly a messenger bag. Other than these quibbles with the copy writer, I highly recommend this bag.

Review by J. Brewer for JanSport Elefunk Core Series Messenger Bag, Navy Rating: I've had this bag for a year now and it still impresses me with it's durability! I'm a student so I pack an incredible amount of books all over the city and any other bag would start to show wear from the load but this one is still good as new. Also the pockets are very handy. My only complaint is that the fabric tends to stain easily, but this could probably be avoided with some staingard.
