Jansport Wasabi Backpack

I'm going to do a mini-series on backpacks reviews starting with Jansport and one of ther most popular day packs the Jansport Wasabi Backpack.

You can read a more thorough review here by this new website that draws in, or is doing so over time, most of the backpacks available online.

Now, the Jansport Wasabi Backpack if great for day hiking as it is able to carry the most essential of hiking gear, and imprtantly...the water bottle!

You may laugh, but this is the one piece of your equipment you don't want to leave home without.

The bag itself it well made and has plenty of pockets, but should really be used only for day hikes. It simply isn't big enough for longer than 10 hour hikes, you will need a bigger backpack.

Saying that, the Jansport Wasabi is good enough for walking trips and offers a good level of comfort, or perhaps you could use it for city trips and even get it for students. It's big enough to carry a 15 inch laptop and a few text books, mp3 player and whatever a student hides away in the secret compartments!

A very good backpack...sorry, day pack...that will see you though most day hikes.
