I bought this pack years ago for general backpacking, something I could rip up without remorse. The Jansport web site described the pack as having stays, but mine did not have any.

My first impression was that it would be a comfortable pack. I was partially right.

The back is thick (3 inches?) contoured foam with a mesh outside. That was supposed to aid cooling but acted as great insulation! I sweat so much. The material is a wide octagon ripstop. It performed well except for abrasion. I did get some abrasion wear before I got rid of the pack.

The overall fit was poor. It was like throwing a layer of canvas around a full laundry basket and strapping it to your back. I will not buy Jansport again.
