Herschel vs JanSport - Ultimate Pop Quiz and Right Pack Comparison

[@aivah_1021]

The only problem i have with these backpacks is.. No side pockets

[@linkboy6331]

Yeah, they’re perfect for water bottles and umbrellas

yep same

same, what would you recommend to check out?

[@ginwang5426]

@@jonasvm actually Herschel Nova has side pockets

[@gatos1800]

Lucy Wang really? Where? Inside?

[@SSS-jw7ss]

Jansport tried and tested. I have a classic one in purple (superbreak) since hs (1994). Its been 27 years, its still perfectly fine and im still using it.... 😊

[@turbotwinz8137]

I love this video, she doesn’t take sides and there is no call to action about which backpack you should buy

[@trinaruiz3308]

I’ve had my Herschel for five years and it still looks the same it keeps its shape

[@Sophie-pm9ol]

Mine looks really bad, especially the fake leather looks so bad

[@bye.kartik]

well i need side pocket for wet umbrella or bottle

[@kevineleven4091]

Is it for men too?

[@jyotiboinpelly6119]

Pls price

[@techwolfcave]

Same, I bought my Herschel 2019, until now it looks great.

[@jazzadventures123]

Jansport carriers: students and adventure enthusiasts Herschel carriers: students and office workers

[@anjalimichelleart]

I wish I can mix the two together

[@Boswd]

I would go to either's websites Jansport has other backpacks that has features this particular one doesn't, I'm not sure why she chose these two to go head to head, She should have selected Jansports laptop backpack.

[@gambitgambino1560]

You can stitch them together if you want

[@dime8961]

I was today years old when I found out that little clip was for keys

[@missGolightly420]

Kooper lmao

[@gigigarcia3386]

same!!! :(

[@RHovis]

Both me and my wife got Jansport backpacks in college in 1993 we have used them for many years since and they both still function perfectly. I am a Jansport man for life.

[@sonyajordan8597]

I would prefer a tougher zipper cause it makes it harder to be pickpocketed.

[@theburit0]

Sonya Jordan yes when I was in high school we all had jansports I liked to unzip my friends backpacks while we waited in the lunch line and they never noticed!

[@rachelliu6954]

sometimes my Jansport backpack would slide open by itself:(

[@faeishhh]

ugh no, then it breaks easier

[@Autumn1988]

Jansport base is real suede which ages beautifully over time; Herschel is synthetic leather which will crack as it ages

[@unnamedthesecond7619]

As a uni student in NYC, having harder to open zippers is a must if you want to avoid pickpocketers.

[@cupid3890]

Jansport: who are you? Herschel: I'm you, but better

[@hayden9526]

other way around

[@Boswd]

ummm yeah if you like very limited storage compartments but hey its loved by the Hipsters so it has that going for it.

[@frankseely5461]

7 people agree with you guys whole 250 agree with the comment. morgan freeman also agrees with this comment

[@frankseely5461]

sophieee. k size doesn't always matter ;)

[@alphaomega8373]

not.

[@n3viah297]

10:22 if you think about it, when they talk about how Jansport backpack zippers are like “butter” that could mean if somebody is trying to take something from your bag, it would be easy.

[@annleerice]

I had just started using Herschel and very much love its comfort. That extra padded shoulder strap does make a lot of difference.

[@hyeonjiwon1588]

I own both - herschel heritage and classic, and jansport digibreak. Still prefer herschel.

[@ibrahimakhtar2327]

I have a pop quiz

[@rg-rz3kv]

Hyeon Ji Won do you own a kanken too? If not, any thoughts on kanken vs herschel anyway?

[@claireiity]

@@rg-rz3kv if it helps, I have both the Kanken Mini and a Herschel Nova Mini. Kanken can fit my ipad air. While the herschel mini cannot. Both are waterproof and very sturdy😅

[@Ashley-py2gb]

The thing is, it sometimes depends on opinion. I think Jansport straps are amazing and the one of the only straps that doesn’t hurt my shoulders. Most or all mesh shoulder straps hurt really bad on my shoulders so I wouldn’t say Herschel won in that part of the comparison

[@fernandaastorga1448]

for me no lining in the JanSports works better. Gives me freedom in its use and adaptability. Also the no lining helps to use better empty spaces and maximize the capacity. I think it depends in tastes and lifestyle usages. JanSport a bit more for adventure. Herschel more fashionable and for office. I'm a JanSports user and fan. Love the zippers, they are smooth and easy to use. The pads and the shoulder straps are really confortable. And also de adjustment of the straps for the hight are really easy to adjust. Good comparison!

[@Causeimbored1]

I agree on all your points. I'm a huge fan of jansport. I of the main things I like about jansport is the relaxed design. I'm not a fan of the stiff material qhen it comes to backpacks. I have had 1 jansport for almost 12 years and a but bag for 10 years. I wash both about 1 every 2 weeks and they have lasted So well. I'm in the market for another backpack but though I'd check out this comparison. Like you said, I use mine for more of an adventure lifestyle versus tech lifestyle. Now I just got to choose a color to get in the right backpack. Grey, Blue, Maroon or blush 🤔

[@Jesus-hp7ju]

Jansport has a backpack just like the right pack shown here, but it’s called “Jansport Right Pack DIGITAL EDITION”. With thiccer, meshed straps and batter laptop/tablet protection. They’re hard to find tho. Especially in the color u want.

[@vanshdave7964]

ive had my herschels backpack for 5 years and its amazing still in great condition, i had a jansport for 5 years before that and herschels definitely takes the cake here

[@vanshdave7964]

yup i agree

[@SuperpiggGaming]

I'm so fucking jealous god damnit it's so damn clean.

[@strgirl3740]

really I got mine for 30 dollars at Marshall's 😎 we saving

[@Quangcurry13524]

There’s jansport super break for 20 bucks at Ross too

[@simply.m3097]

I got an orange one for 27 dollars!

[@hsl2208]

I saw one earlier at tj max for $29.99

[@khialaaloocompany590]

False/padded bottom is a deal breaker for me. Laptop gets beat up without it when you’re putting your bag down throughout the day. And beyond functionality is the fashion factor. I like the bag to actually look good too 👀

[@lorenzocastilloveitia8649]

I literally watched this after buying a Jansport backpack. Now I feel like he’s mocking me

[@muhammadarekat3384]

The opposite to me. I watched this video just after I bought a Hershel Pop Quiz.

[@whoknows8386]

This is a she tho reviewing these products...

[@knetom]

@@whoknows8386 facts

[@erichan6985]

The right pack is made of better material. Far better. I’ve had both . That Herschel is for school. Right pack anything . Lifetime warranty and it lasts much longer Quality is the same but since the right pack is made of Cordura , at the cost for the pop quiz , right pack vs pop quiz: right pack win / pop quiz loose, by a large margin.

[@angelopebs]

@@erichan6985 not quite. I have both. I also have a jansport watchtower, various super breaks, a hatchet, and a parkland (herschel sister company) vintage bag, so I think I have a good feel of both, especially jansport. Agree with you about the lifetime warranty as well as the cordura being better, but the Pop Quiz is simply thicker and therefore more dense. The organization on the Pop Quiz is a lot better too. Though yeah I'd say the Right Pack is such a classic, it's really for anything and you can use it anywhere. Pop Quiz looks better in a school or work setting.

[@QuieroCake]

JanSport is the way to go.. they have the Digital Student backpack and it have all the pockets that you need for cables, charges, iPad, laptop you name it..

[@ava130]

I got a Herschel a couple weeks ago and definitely recommend. Very good quality! The one big downside is that it doesn’t have water bottle holders on the sides

[@alexvikendi1768]

The 30l hershel XL classic has 2 side pockets who can hold 2 bottle of 1l Approximately 50-70$ depend where you get it I just wish they had a back "mattress" like the high end eastpak model (I don't recall the name but this one lasted me 20y, paid approximately at the time 70$) for school books corners it's a must for the back...you feels nothing it's so comfortable .. As a kid I remember maybe my backpack was at least 10kg-15kg of obligatory school books.. Crazy as an adult now to think about it... ✌️Looking for a bag too, sorry for the grammar, my English is very rusted

[@xartimus18]

Stop the cap.

[@abigail6874]

I have both backpacks and may I say, I think the leather bottom of the herschel is better (for me) because when I first used my jansport backpack, the suede just easily ripped and now I can't really wear my jansport because it has a big rip on it

[@vonwaq]

i feel like that was just an unlucky experience, do you think your herschel would not have ripped under the same circumstance? also, herschel uses fake leather which peels off just 1-3 years of use depending on how often you use it, whereas it wouldn't be the case for jansport.

[@harrietllanellsofio7936]

I use Jansport for every day use and when I travel Herschel is the way I go

[@fadhliasyraf9011]

may I know why?

[@Autumn1988]

Im in the UK and had a Jansport Right pack at Uni... loved it :). And yes now I prefer a smaller backpack with more organisation (using a Tom Bihn Synapse 19) fo Uni the big main compartment was great for folders and books. I only passed it on as I wasn't using it after Uni as didn't need a EDC backpack that big. It was still in good, used condition when I gave it to a friend who could use it.

[@tronarat]

I’ve never delt with Herschel warranty but when I had some threads pull on my jansport leather bottom after 10 years they asked for a picture of the damage and once I sent it they sent me a new back pack

[@coolmusic1579]

There should be a law, all backpacks shall have a side mesh pocket. 🤔😄👍

[@Milk-jn3ox]

@Dada but they actually work

[@romarioseaton168]

The herschel does have an inside bottle pocket tho

[@itsjugu]

@@romarioseaton168 No it doesn't, its a media pocket and unless you're carrying a tiny plastic water bottle it most likely wont fit a water bottle.

[@sappcheng2113]

I agree! Need some side pocket. Doesn't have to be mesh though. Otherwise, it is so inconvenient

[@erichan6985]

Side pockets are trash

[@calvinstevens-charles5320]

Great video, really clear and non biased… 100% will be going for a Herschel after watching this.

[@nosoytumadre5669]

Just bought a Jansport right backpack in russet red for my little man. I think it's awesome. Plenty big for my kindergartner. I got it on sale for $19.99 it was a steal ❤

[@rhynnlorque3958]

This is a very useful video, I’ve always had a love for jansports and I always choose the color black backpacks or messenger bags, however with the inside lining of the jansport bag that is also black- makes it very difficult to locate black items inside such as a black wallet or a black cellphone or even a black earphones for example, I always have a hard time looking for these items when it is night or dark, maybe with the striped lining of the herschel it makes it easier to locate darker colored items, but I never had a herschel backpack before, would consider buying one in the future

[@paulandrewmartin]

I bought both, both are good, no need to choose, you can have both experience, and it will last a lot longer with 2 at your disposal... Classic look and modern take...

[@thegeekystuff3800]

It's pretty simple: High school calls for the timeless Jansport Right Pack - a classic you can't go wrong with. But when you hit college, it's time to level up with the sleek and organized Herschel Pop Quiz.

[@starzdam]

Thank you so much for this review, I found a very good condition Herschel Pop Quiz Backpack for 35$!

[@SelenaY.1331]

At least with jansport you have a lifetime warranty

[@ZDzociety]

They all lifetime warranty.

[@ibrahimtariq6944]

excuse me will it fit 15.6 inch laptop ??

[@mini1489]

Ibrahim Tariq If you are talking about the Jansport Right Pack Backpack, it fits a 15 inch laptop so I’m not sure if it can fit a 15.6 because it is slightly larger.

[@sportslife98mitchell45]

Hershel is life time warranty

[@fionayang3402]

Hershel does too

[@pinkomerta]

i bought a right pack on summer 2018 (on my first term of university) and a pop quiz the year after. i am an engineering student, and here are my thoughts about them both. *JANSPORT: right pack* - great fabric materials! SOOOO many cute designs that made me have to think for days on which option to buy. kinda sad that the colors faded throughout the years. but no tearings and such🙂‍↕️ - i LOVE the pockets. they have more compartments on the front too. also have a laptop sleeve inside, but the padding felt very thin to me and i always put my laptop inside a padded pouch before putting it inside. - it’s very comfortable to carry the bag full of clothes. not really good if i have to bring heavy textbooks and big pile of thick practicum reports, and laptop for a full day activity in campus. - love love love the zipper. so easy to open in the class, stress-free. although i do have to say, it’s making me paranoid to bring on a commute, especially on rush hours, as they kinda open easily, even more when the load is heavy. - the padded straps are very comfy, but once again, if you carry heavy loads, it kinda give extra pressure to my shoulder. - the suede underside looks amazing, but after using it for a year, it kind of thins out… and that’s why i needed a new backpack for heavier loads. but i still use the right pack for lighter loads and travels up until now (2024) after using right pack for one year, i decided to buy pop quiz, at end of summer, 2019. *HERSCHEL: pop quiz* - thick and sturdy fabric materials. survived through heavy rains too. saved my laptop from the storm😭 - there are only one front pocket, but i love the compartments, and the key hook. helps me for quick access for lots of time. also have to mention the upper inside small pocket where you could store your phone and wallet. i love how it is lined with padded fleece-like fabric. there are also a small hole for wired earphones/cables access. love them so much. - it’s very much comfortable to wear around anywhere. fits my laptop perfectly, and all the heavy stuffs. the laptop sleeve is padded and fleece-lined too. the downside is, it is kinda on the heavier side, and it takes lot of space when i am travelling in my motorbike (if i bring lots of stuffs). - the zippers are tough but it’s not that bad, it’s not laggy. proven safe to bring on a packed metro. the fabrics stay the same until now, no tearings also it’s kind of rain-proof. - the padded straps are the best. i’ve carried a 10kg load for a full day and it is comfy. never gave any issues to my scoliosis. - the synthetic leather underside looks great, but after using it for a year, it the leather wears out and came off patchy. but it’s not a big problem for me because the fabric layer underneath looks okay and you can’t really tell the difference between the leather-layered fabric and the one that’s been peeled off. do note that my backpack is full-black colored. all in all, i love my purchases!! the right pack is just right to carry lots of stuff, but the pop quiz is better if you have to carry heavy loads for a long time. jansports have lots of cute designs, whereas herschel is kind of limited. but i really liked the pop quiz for the comfort and sturdiness that i bought an extra bag with different design. p.s.: i initially wanted to buy the right pack digital edition but it’s pretty hard to find then and now😔

I cant recommend JanSport enough. I've had 2 backpack over the last 25 years: 1) Sage Green Right Pack 2) Navy Right Pack I just ordered my 3rd 1 given 11 years of stains and wear had made it look a little ratty & I wanted to change up my wardrobe for the first time in a decade. So I got the black City View I only buy clothing when everything I own is old, worn out, and no longer fashionable to me (aka every decade). Ill be keeping my previous bag as a spare. Definitely the backpack to get if you are the type who only invests in well made clothing (and only buy clothing to replace worn out items)

It's a real shame that Herschel chooses the fake leather, it starts peeling off after less than a year of use. Other than that, the Pop Quiz is great. I've had mine for almost five years, it's a practical and sturdy everyday and travelling backpack (although it does weight a bit so you should consider that if you are taking it on a plane). I'm seriously considering having the fake leather bottom changed (like reupholstered) so that I can keep using the bag without leaving a trail of brown bits of fabric everywhere I go

[@0rgazman]

This isn't exactly an honest comparison, Jansport has padded protective laptop bags, this is Hershel's laptop bag, Herschel also offers backpacks with no protective padding. why not compare comparable backpacks.

[@ronaldnguyen7026]

I had jansport from 7th grade to 10grade, then I wanted to pick a nicer looking bag like Herschel, but barely made it threw the year before zipper gave up and started to fray at the opening, I went back to old jansport bag. Lasted me to graduation prolly still had a few years left. It was a hand me down aswell. I carried all my stuff in there. 38lbs worth of stuff. I ran it pretty hard.

Jansport is one of largest backpackers maker along with The North Face, Eastpack, and other brands owned by VFC. The green color Jansport Right Pack is great and I don’t purchase the Herschel brand because the internal design looks like a female color.
