What is the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch?
It’s a zippered polyester pouch from backpack maker JanSport that’s widely used as a pencil case. JanSport sells it as an accessory pouch for “pens, power cords” and everyday small items, in the words of its Amazon listing title, and it comes in dozens of solid colors and prints.
The style code is JS00T49C, followed by a color suffix, such as JS00T49C69G for Blackberry Mousse. Retailers and JanSport’s own stores use the same 1.3 L capacity figure for every color.
JanSport Large Accessory Pouch specs
JanSport’s European stores and retailers list it at 4 × 9 × 3 in (10 × 23 × 8 cm), 1.3 L and about 4 oz.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Brand | JanSport |
| Style code | JS00T49C (+ color suffix) |
| Dimensions | 4 × 9 × 3 in (10 × 23 × 8 cm) |
| Capacity | 1.3 L (79 cu in) |
| Weight | 4 oz (0.1 kg) |
| Compartments | 2, each with its own zipper |
| Material | 100% recycled 600-denier polyester (JanSport UK/EU) |
| Made in | Not stated in the listings we found |
| Ratings | One Amazon color listing showed 4.8 stars from 462 ratings; Altitude Sports shows 85 reviews |
The 4 × 9 × 3 in figure comes from JanSport’s UK and EU pages and Altitude Sports. One other retailer lists 11 × 23 × 7.5 cm, and one Amazon color lists 3.54 × 8.26 × 0.98 in, which looks like a packed-flat measurement.
What fits in the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch?
At 9 in (23 cm) long, it takes full-length pencils, standard pens and a phone charger. A new, unsharpened wood pencil is about 7.5 in (19 cm) long, so it lies flat in the main compartment with room to spare.
JanSport doesn’t publish a pen count. With 1.3 L of space split into two compartments, a realistic everyday load is a handful of pens and pencils in one pocket and a cable, earbuds or a small calculator in the other; we haven’t counted the maximum yet.
How many compartments does it have?
Two, and each has its own zipper. Retailers describe them as two compartments with dual zippers. That’s the main difference from a single-pocket pouch: you can keep pens apart from cables, cards or keys.
JanSport doesn’t publish the inner size of each compartment. In listing photos, the front compartment is the smaller of the two.
What is it made of?
JanSport’s UK and EU stores list the body as 100% recycled 600-denier polyester. Denier measures yarn thickness; 600D polyester is a common, hard-wearing backpack fabric.
The EU store adds that the liner color may be darker than in older photos, because JanSport switched liner fabrics. Some colorways, such as the Heathered 600D sold by Staples Canada, use a heathered version of the same weight of fabric.
How does it compare to other popular pencil cases?
The JanSport is a slim two-pocket pouch; the EASTHILL and Sooez cases are bigger and hold more.
| JanSport Large Accessory Pouch | EASTHILL Big Capacity | Sooez Large Pencil Case | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size | 23 × 10 × 8 cm (9 × 4 × 3 in) | 22.0 × 10.5 × 6.5 cm | 23.0 × 18.8 × 7.1 cm |
| Compartments | 2, zippered | Main + mesh pocket | Opens flat, pen loops and pockets |
| Material | Recycled 600D polyester | Canvas (cotton) | See the Sooez guide |
| Capacity claim | 1.3 L | Up to 50 pens | See the Sooez guide |
Sizes for the other cases come from their own guides. If you mostly carry pens and want each in its own slot, a book-style case like the LIHIT LAB Teffa keeps them sorted.
Where is the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch made?
None of the JanSport or retailer pages we found states a country of origin. The country is printed on the sewn-in label, so check that if it matters to you.
JanSport is an American bag brand. Where its pouches are made can differ from where the brand is based, so we’ve listed “made in” as not stated rather than guessing.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch?
JanSport's UK and EU stores and a Canadian retailer list it at 4 × 9 × 3 inches (10 × 23 × 8 cm), with a capacity of 1.3 liters (79 cubic inches). One retailer gives 11 × 23 × 7.5 cm, so expect small differences between batches.
Can you use the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch as a pencil case?
Yes. JanSport sells it as an accessory pouch, but Amazon's listing title names pens and pencil-case use, and its 9-inch length takes a standard 7.5-inch pencil lying flat.
How many compartments does the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch have?
Two, each closed by its own zipper. Retailers describe them as two compartments with dual zippers; JanSport doesn't publish separate sizes for each one.
What is the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch made of?
JanSport's UK and EU stores list the body as 100% recycled 600-denier polyester. The EU store notes that the liner color may differ from photos because of a switch to a darker fabric.
What's the difference between the JanSport Large and Basic Accessory Pouch?
The Large Accessory Pouch (JS00T49C) has two zippered compartments and 1.3 L of space. The Basic Accessory Pouch is a separate, simpler JanSport model; we didn't find official dimensions for it, so compare the listings before you buy.
Where is the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch made?
None of the JanSport or retailer pages we found states a country of origin. The country is printed on the sewn-in care label, so check that before you buy if it matters to you.
Is the JanSport Large Accessory Pouch waterproof?
No listing we found calls it waterproof or water-resistant. It's a polyester fabric pouch with zippers, so treat it as splash-tolerant at best; we haven't tested it.
