Jansport Wheeled Backpacks Make Excellent Carry On's

By Carl Reid


When traveling, I try to pack as little as possible because that helps make the whole process a lot easier. For example, if I only bring a carry-on bag, then I don't have to worry about paying extra baggage fees that the airlines are collecting these days. I don't have to worry about having the handlers damage or misplace my bags, nor do I have to wait around for another 30 minutes or so after landing in order to wrestle any suitcases off the baggage carousel. In addition, when I travel with just my Jansport wheeled backpack, checking in and out at the ticket counter and going through security are much easier.

After careful consideration of several different brands, I decided to go with a Jansport wheeled backpack. First of all, I prefer backpacks to other types of carry-on luggage because they are easier to manage. I can place it over my shoulders and keep my hands free for dealing with ticket agents or getting access to my wallet if I want to grab a snack before boarding. After all, lugging a heavy bag around on my back is a lot less tiring than carrying it over one arm or shoulder, and if the weight does get to be too much, I can always pull out the extended handle and start wheeling the bag around instead.

I was first attracted to my Jansport wheeled backpack because of the convenience, but the buying decision was made based on two other factors. One of the first things I noticed right away was that the Jansport wheeled backpack I had my eye on was significantly roomier than other comparably priced backpacks. I was looking at the Superbreak Classics Series, and was impressed by the 2,000 cubic inches of storage space. It is plenty of room to pack clothes, toiletries, and other necessities for a weekend getaway or even a weeklong outing if I know I'll have access to laundry facilities at my destination. I really liked how the main compartment of the pack was a single large space instead of being divided into a number of smaller pockets like traditional backpacks. This gives me much greater flexibility when packing, and allows me to cram more stuff in.

I was also interested in my Jansport wheeled backpack because of its discount price. I found mine on clearance and paid less than $40 for it. That was a true value in my mind, as I've been using the bag for several years now. It has held up well over time, and the wheels and handle work just as well as ever.

If you travel frequently like I do, then I recommend using a Jansport wheeled backpack as your carry-on of choice. You can't beat the ease of rolling backpacks, and this brand is one of the very best. Get one today!
