Some backpacks are built for mountains and some are built for airports. The JanSport SuperBreak Plus is built for everyday life: class, the commute, the coffee shop and the weekend. It takes the simple, familiar shape of the classic SuperBreak and adds the two things most people actually need, a laptop sleeve and a water bottle pocket. Here is what it is, what it holds and where to buy one.

## What it is

JanSport describes the [SuperBreak Plus](https://www.jansport.com/products/superbreak-plus-js0a4que?ref=unknowndivide.com) as a fresh take on the classic SuperBreak pack, with an internal laptop sleeve and a side water bottle pocket that make it as functional as it is far out. It keeps the clean, rounded look of the original, so it does not look like a tech bag, but it is ready for one.

## Specs

According to JanSport:

- **Capacity:** 26 liters (1587 cubic inches).
- **Dimensions:** 16.5 x 12.5 x 5.5 inches (42 x 32 x 13 cm).
- **Weight:** 14 ounces (0.4 kg).
- **Fabric:** 600 denier polyester, which JanSport says means the bag is built to last.
- **Laptop sleeve:** an interior padded sleeve for laptops up to 15 inches.

At 26 liters, it sits in the everyday daypack range. If you are not sure how much space you need, our guide to [backpack sizes and liters](https://www.unknowndivide.com/backpack-sizes-explained-how-many-liters/) explains what fits in each size.

## Features

JanSport lists these details:

- **Padded laptop sleeve** inside, to help protect from bumps and drops.
- **Side water bottle pocket** that blends into the bag.
- **Front pocket with a built in organizer** to keep small essentials in place.
- **Roomy main compartment** with space for books, layers and lunch.
- **Adjustable, straight cut padded shoulder straps** for comfort with larger loads.
- **Fully padded back panel** for comfort over long wear.
- **Webbing grab handle** on top.
- **Cord zipper tabs** for easy grabbing, plus the signature JS stamped metal zipper pull.

## Why it is cool

**It is simple.** There are no gimmicks, just one main compartment, one front pocket, a sleeve and a bottle pocket. That makes it easy to pack and easy to find things.

**It is light.** At 14 ounces, the bag itself adds very little to what you carry.

**It comes in a lot of looks.** JanSport offers the SuperBreak Plus in a wide range of solid colors and prints, so it is easy to find one that fits your style.

**It is backed for life.** JanSport says it has been making packs since 1967 and stands by them with a [limited lifetime warranty](https://www.jansport.com/en-us/pages/warranty?ref=unknowndivide.com).

## How it compares

If you like the idea of a simple everyday pack, there are a few other classics worth a look. The [Fjallraven Kanken Classic](https://www.unknowndivide.com/fjallraven-kanken-classic-backpack/) has a boxier, more design focused shape, and the [Herschel Little America](https://www.unknowndivide.com/herschel-little-america-backpack/) has a more heritage style look. For flying, our list of the [best carry on travel backpacks](https://www.unknowndivide.com/best-carry-on-travel-backpacks/) covers bigger, more organized bags.

For the commute, pair it with a set of [Loop Quiet 2 earplugs](https://www.unknowndivide.com/loop-quiet-2-earplugs/) in the front pocket to take the edge off a noisy train.

## How to pack it

Put heavy items like a laptop or textbooks in the back, close to your spine, which is where the laptop sleeve sits. Lighter, bulkier things like a jacket or lunch go toward the front of the main compartment. Use the front pocket for small items you reach for often, such as keys, earbuds and a charger, and the side pocket for your bottle. Wear both straps rather than slinging the pack over one shoulder, and adjust them so the bag rides high on your back rather than sagging toward your hips. A pack that sits close and high is far more comfortable to carry all day.

## Who should buy it

Students, commuters and anyone who wants one simple bag that handles a laptop, a water bottle and the day's essentials. It is also a good pick for someone who wants a classic look rather than a technical one.

## Where to buy

JanSport sells the SuperBreak Plus directly in many colors and prints, and it is widely stocked by other retailers.
