Are Jansport Internal Frame Backpacks any good?
Jansport makes a decent backpack, but don’t expect the same level of quality and comfort you’d find in a North Face or Lowe Alpine pack. I’d put Jansport as a mid-level pack and generally only use them for short-term needs (OK from a train station to a hotel and that sort of thing). For any trip where you’ll be hiking a good portion of the day, save up for a better quality pack. Your back and shoulders will thank you for it. You might check places like www.campmor.com and www.northernmountain.com They often have older, discontinued packs on clearance and you might be able to get a better pack for close to the same money as a Jansport.
