Product Description
With ShockShieldtrade; laptop protection and multiple compartments, this campus pack means business
Amazon.com Product Description
A good backpack surely sits atop the list of campus essentials. Enter the JanSport Firewire, a 2,000-cubic-inch backpack that will serve as a student's closest companion throughout his or her school-age years and beyond. The Firewire offers dual AirLift shoulder straps made of a flexible, shock-absorbing elastomer material that's designed to distribute the weight evenly across your back--a must when carrying heavy loads. The backpack's two large main compartments, meanwhile, can hold everything from books to sack lunches to gym shoes. Add in a ShockShield padded laptop sleeve--which is designed to hold laptops as large as 15 inches--and you have everything you need for your on-the-go school activities. Other pockets include a front utility pocket with a deluxe organizer, a soft tricot-lined loft pocket for valuables, a side MP3 player pocket, and a side mesh water bottle slot. The Firewire--which also includes a breathable mesh back panel and a padded neoprene grab handle--measures 12.5 by 20 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces. About JanSport

 Mind boggling design flaws January 13, 2010
Frederick J. Ross (Charlottesville, VA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had a Jansport pack which I dragged all over the world for 12 years. It finally needed some serious repairs, and I sent it in. Apparently they no longer repaired that model, and sent me a Firewire instead.
First, the pack is made for midgets. It is simply not long enough for my back. I'm 6' and don't have unusual proportions, so this is kind of disturbing.
Second, the weird laptop pocket in the main compartment is an incredible design flaw. The rigid support at the bottom is about two inches above the bottom of the backpack, so if you load the pack, whatever you put in can't ride against your lower back, and effectively pulls the backpack into a curve so you feel the very straight, rather uncomfortable stays at the bottom of the laptop pocket, and the top of the shoulder straps.
It's simply not an acceptable pack for day to day use as it's designed.
Decent enough, but they cut corners December 18, 2009

I've owned Jansport backpacks in the past, and while this is a decent enough bag, it's definitely not up to past quality. The material is thinner, the zippers are not as heavy-duty. And what's the deal, Jansport? Did you run out of zipper pulls? Half the zippers are missing them (despite what the picture shows)! Cheap!
On the plus side, there are plenty of internal and external pockets, my large laptop fits without a fight, and it's well-padded.
poor quality backpack, don't buy... February 16, 2009

I bought this backpack when I wanted to have a new bag for my laptop. I got a good JanSport Backpack for my niece a few month ago and she liked that one, so I chose JanSport again. It's out of question that JanSport is generally a good brand.
But this particular backpack is really poorly made. The texture is made by some cheap materials, and definitely looks not as good as the picture shown on the website. There are not many compartments in the bag with poor paddings, and the space is not as big as that was described at all. Nevertheless, the laptop sleeve is too wide for my 15' widescreen notebook. So I bought another backpack of Swissgear this weekend when I saw it on sale with only one third price of this JanSport. And the quality of my new bag is Much Much Much BETTER than this one.
Don't buy this backpack!
 Too Small For A Tall or Big Adult Male November 20, 2008
S. Weaver (Stone Mountain, GA United States)

The quality of construction is excellent, it's just that the straps are unbelievably short. I've had Jansports before, and never once have I seen this. At full length, the backpack was quite tight around my shoulders. The straps on my other Jansport (Samba Trans) are about TWICE as long! How and why Jansport could do this is beyond me - 8 more inches of strap and I'd love this bag - too bad they don't post strap length specs on their site eh? If you a small man, a kid, or a girl, you may still be interested, so let me give you a breakdown that you probably won't find anywhere else:
The "shockshield" laptop sleeve: so called advanced laptop protection, the shockshield amounts to a hard shock absorber thing in the bottom of the laptop sleeve. So make sure if you ever drop your bag w/ lappie, make sure you drop it straight down so it lands right side up - otherwise the shock shield won't help you much. The padding on the front of the sleeve is maybe 3/16 inch - quite thin. The padding on the back of the bag, which is the back of the sleeve as well, is thicker and more adequate. My 15.4" Dell Studio stuck out about 3 inches at the top of the sleeve, thus leaving the entire edge with no padding at all. The strap on the sleeve is good - you can tighten it up all you want. I think it would provide adequate protection, but I wouldn't go so far as to say 'advanced'.
Will take a 15.5" laptop February 29, 2008
Skywise
I have an XPS GEN 2 Inspiron which is 15.5" long. I had an older version of this backpack that the XPS would just fit into snugly but, alas, the zipper teeth eventually broke off. I was concerned that this backpack might be too small and after first slipping the laptop in... it didn't. But I discovered that theres a removable cushion liner at the bottom of the laptop slot (attached with Velcro), removing that gave me an extra half an inch and voila, the laptop fits (albeit snugly again). The laptop isn't completely unprotected at the bottom, there's a hard plastic shell there as well and the snug fit keeps the laptop from sliding around. 15.5" is max though...those with a larger laptop (say the newer 16" wide Dell XPS latops) will probably want to seek another backpack.
