Are jansport backpacks supposed to be high on your back?

Question

I just got a black jansport backpack, and I'm going into highschool.

Is it supposed to be really high on your back?

Can you adjust it so it is lower?

And the shoulder pads are kind of hard, are they gonna be more comfortable later?

Thanks. Oh and do you think the spring break backpack would be enough space for all the books and stuff?

Answer 1

adjust it to make it sit lower.

i hate when backpacks are high on the back.

Answer 2

you need a pretty big bag

and you can loosen the straps and itll hang basiclly by ur butt

Answer 3

Try on the backpack, just so you can see how it fits. Then adjust it to your preference. Most students in high school (including me :P) wear them high up on their backs because it's easier to walk and run in that position.

And yes, the shoulder pads will get more comfortable. You just have to break them in.

Answer 4

The straps are hard but will soften up.  They should ride high if you dont want a backache.

Answer 5

oooh,i love jansports,but no they can be lower or high which ever feels better,i choose low because my books are heavy! it feels better and jansports are good backpacks they never tear up as quick the the other 1's
