JanSport Heritage

The year was 1967, the Summer of Love. The Summer three Seattle college grads were looking to avoid the confines of nine-to-five jobs: Skip, an outdoor enthusiast; Murray, an engineer; and Jan, a seamstress. Murray had won an award for an aluminum frame bag design and told Jan if she created a bag that sold, he'd marry her and name the company after her. She did. It did. And JanSport was born.

Forty-one years later, JanSport reignites the Summer of '67 with its new Heritage Series, a modern and honest re-issue of its original designs, reflecting the outdoor functionality and aesthetics at the core of the brand. These bright-colored bags feature an original JanSport woven label, weathered Cordura® and nylon fabrics, antique brass metal zippers, and classic seat belt webbing.
