 Worth every penny.Oct 24, 2005
By Rachel M. Sullivan
As a graduate student suffering from back problems, I was very particular about the backpack I wanted to buy. This bag is very sturdy, easy to maneuver and fits everything I need, i.e. computer, books, water bottle, etc. JanSport knows how to make a great product and I would recommend this bag to anyone.

Saves my backNov 01, 2007
By Nicole Field
All throughout high school, I used roller backpacks like these. They were made by Olympia and I would have to replace them every year. This was primarily because the wheels had two spinner things and all sorts of junk would get stuck in there, and if that didn't happen, the wheels themselves would just wear out.
This bag by JanSport, however, has been really awesome so far. It has two pretty sizable wheels that have good traction, and should stuff get wrapped up in there, it doesn't affect the way this bag handles in the least.
Another handy feature is it's handle. Before, I would have to fight with my bags because I would have to physically press down the handle if I had to climb stairs and whatnot, and often times it would just get stuck. Not fun at all. With this JanSport bag, you just press the button and there's no fighting back.
Also, my laptop fits well in the inside pocket provided it (Compaq Presario V3000). Exactly what I needed.

 Great productNov 05, 2006
By Sarah
This is a great rolling backpack. I can fit 30 pounds of books in it and still roll it easily. It has good stability and plenty of pockets for my belongings. It also holds my laptop well and has padding to protect it. The downsides: It does not have little pockets for pen/pencils or small items, they just have to float on the bottom of your bag. Also it is pretty large so it is a little difficult to get through rows of desks at school, you need to sit toward the front.

Battle TestedJan 16, 2008

This is our second Driver 8. My daughter has beat up the first one for 3 years and finally has managed to rip a hole in it with some sharp object. There was no thought about going to a different manufacturer -- JanSport makes the highest quality pack out there. We know from experience: most of the others we've owned never made it through the school year, the handle and/or the zippers wearing out with daily use. After 3 years, this Driver 8's handle and zippers are in great condition, and the pack probably would have gone longer had it not been subjected to that sharp, pointed thing which should probably have not gone in there....(ahem).
Anyway, I/we highly recommend JanSport in general and the Driver 8 in particular.

 Good roller, not so good backpackJul 21, 2009
By V. Roma
Had this backpack for a couple of days and, although it seems well-made and sturdy, rolls along fine, it's not really comfortable as a backpack. In addition, there is nothing to protect your back and sides from the wheels so transitioning from roller to backpack when the wheels are dirty (for example, when it's raining) will get your clothes dirty.
