Overview

A 26L daily backpack with a padded 15-inch laptop sleeve, padded straps and back panel, sized 17 x 12.5 x 6 in for work, school or short trips.

JanSport's Cross Town Plus keeps the layout simple: one large main compartment plus a front utility pocket with an organizer, rather than splitting storage across many small zippers. The laptop sleeve is padded, but this reads as a daily backpack rather than a dedicated travel or hiking pack, so structure is lighter than a purpose-built travel bag.

  • 26L capacity with a padded 15-inch laptop sleeve
  • Padded straight-cut straps and fully padded back panel
  • Front utility pocket with organizer
  • 17 x 12.5 x 6 in, suited to ages 13 and up

Who it's for

Students or commuters carrying a laptop, books and daily gear who want one main compartment plus an organized front pocket instead of many small zip sections. JanSport lists it as suitable for ages 13 and up.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Padded 15-inch laptop sleeve
  • Straight-cut padded straps and fully padded back panel
  • Side water bottle pocket and padded bottom boot
  • Front utility pocket with an internal organizer
Cons
  • Single main compartment, not divided into multiple zip sections
  • 26L is a daily-use size, not built for multi-day travel

Performance notes

The padded shoulder straps are cut straight rather than curved, paired with a fully padded back panel, so the fit leans toward all-day comfort over a close athletic fit. The 15-inch laptop sleeve sits inside the main compartment for protection rather than behind its own separate access panel. A padded bottom boot and side water bottle pocket cover the wear points backpacks usually fail at first.
