[pinoy]

I was looking for a backpack & happen to like this model with a 100 bux price tag. but when the lady scanned it for me, it was 19.77+ tax. I ended up buying 3 w/c is a perfect gift for nephews and nieces. Try your luck.

[fatbaby]

[GuaGua]

Nice find
pinoy, what area are you in, wanna check it out this morning...

 

[Snyder81]

Can you find a pic of the backpack you bought online and link to it? I searched for "jansport airlift" but I just found a bunch of different Jansport models that use the "Airlift" system. Which particular model is it?

 

[MillionaireNextDoor]

my lucky jansport backpack lasted 6 years and counting =P

 

[sygyzy]

Bought mine for college for $100+. I felt bad for mom who paid for it. But it has lasted me three years strong without a fray, tear, broken zipper, nada. You get what you pay for.

I always seem to lose/have my backpack stolen before it wears out

 

[foot]

I was just looking at prices and this seems like a great find - I cant find one for less than $70 amywhere!

I have a Jansport though - Does it have airlift? What the hell is airlift anyway?

 

[LivinLaVivaPollo]

Man, I was browsing jansports's website and they have some nice backpacks now. I remember back in the day when everyone had the same jansport. I was wondering, what model airlift did you get? There are a couple on the website. Airlift is a technology, not a bag. It's basically this "gelly" layer in the shoulder strap, sorta like wearing one of those gel mousepad rests.

I am using one the airpack models now. It is huge and has a special compartment for my laptop and tools. Great bags and very durable. I think they also have a lifetime warranty.

 

[DaveF]

Yes, Jansport packs have lifetime warranties. I've sent mine in a few times (twice for blown zippers and once for blown-out bottom). Once the repaired it, twice they sent a brand new pack. Same for Lowe-Alpine and even Outdoors from Walmart. Always worth the effort to send one in. You just need a backup for when its in the shop.

Seems like too good of a deal actaully. I'll be sure to check it out this weekend, but in the mean time, I'm with the guy who said if you can post a pic about what kind of backback it is. Curious too.

 

[Otaking]

Yup...most rival companies of Jansport (Eastpak, Ogio, etc) all have lifetime warranties. Backpacks are great, but it sucks when you're out in the real world trying *NOT* to look like a student.

 

[wuhoo]

i bought my jansport backpacks a long time ago at the vf factory outlet store in the factory shops outlet retailers (san marcos was the exact place i got it from). not sure if the premium or prime outlets have a similar store or not. they were $20 like 10 years ago....at the time the going rate was around $40-50 for comparable backpack in retail stores

both (one bought 10 years ago, the other bought 6 years ago) are still around despite heavy use throughout school -- very well made bags!

 

[RossMAN]

Where is this backpack on Jansport's website?

 

[pinoy]

sorry guys, can't use the internet in the office that's why i can't answer your questions. anyway,

pinoy, what area are you in, wanna check it out this morning...

guagua, i'm was in Baton Rouge, LA area when I bought it. Cortana Mall.

snyder,

its an airlift with 2200cu.in/36L capacity w/ gellycomb inside the strap. also, it has the butt-gripper and scapula and lumbar pads.

guys, i'd love to post pix, but i do't have a cam. I'll scan the tag with pix later and post it.

goodluck again finding it.

BTW, the no. under the barcode is 047649381, if that helps.

 

[pinoy]

also, its the jansport airlift "stratosphere 43029"

 

[RossMAN]

Thanks for the info pinoy, I found pictures and information on the Jansport Air Lift but on another site.

eBags.com

Which of those is the one for $19.99 at JCP?

 

[pinoy]

could you post a recpiet or something showing how much you got this back pack is... I WANT ONE SO BAD!!!!

 

[pinoy]

rossman,
i went to ebags website but i don't see it there. even the jcp site, i don't see a single one. they probably dropped that item. but, like i said, its airlift "stratosphere", model #43029.

roncarter,
i'll sned you a copy of the receipt as soon as i find it.

 

[Snyder81]

Here's a link to what I think was purchased:
http://www.perrets.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=130&p_catid=7

I think it's a little different looking, but for $20, if it has a nice place for my laptop, I'm all over this deal

 

[Silex]

I doubt it "has a nice place for a laptop". Would be great if it did, but it just wasn't designed for such things. Anyways, even if you did find a spot for it, it would prolly not fit correctly.
