The Odyssey by Jansport is your "go-to" daypack for all your adventures. The JanSport Odyssey hiking pack was redesigned in 2009 to provide more comfort and function. This day pack has all the features you need for urban and backcountry adventures. Two large main compartments provide ample storage and organization for all your school books or anything you would need on a day hike, while a V-loft pocket provides easy access to smaller often used items.

The Ventech™ back panel is also highly breathable, making the Odyssey an excellent summer hiking pack. Added features like a hydration sleeve, ice axe loop, and side compression straps make it perfect for any adventure. The sternum strap and waist belt increase load stabilization. The waist belt on this book bag can be tucked away and out-of-sight when not in use.

Traveling Pack

Rating:*****

I original purchased this backpack for my trip to Europe. While I was in Europe it worked wonderfully. Perfect for carrying all my gear for the 3 day trip to Paris I took, but also versatile enough to story with day trip gear. The many pockets made it very easy to separate the different items and size of items. The main pocket was good for extra layers and larger items. the pocket with internal pockets is perfect for smaller items. Then the additional side holders helped with water bottles. With the long days of site seeing the hydration adaptability came in handy.

After the trip to Europe, the Odyssey became my everyday pack and carries all my gear, from computer to clothes to school books. Even though it doesn't have a dedicated laptop holder, it still works well. And no matter the load, the straps and waist belt help distribute the load allowing for a longer comfort on those long days hiking, site seeing, or going to and from class.

I liked this pack so much I am thinking about getting a second for my fiance. You will not be disappointed in this backpack. Definitely get a high quality item for a good price.

I have an older verison of this pack, but it has lasted my 3+ years. Great durability, lots of storage space and great features. This pack will last you many years. I have used it on trips to Europe, carrying school books, and day trips to the gym and the outdoors. Looking at getting a second one for my fiance.

The JanSport Odyssey is a great backpack. It has taken a lot of punishment so far. It has plenty of compartments as well as comfortable shoulder straps. The grab handle was a good addition to the design. I highly recommend this product.

I have always had a Jansport backpack, but this is the first time i went with the heavy duty one. It is a very enjoyable backpack, You will never run out of places to put things, and it is so durable.
