I’ve got a backpack that’s falling apart after less than a year and was looking for a much better one that will hold up well. Specifically, the use case is dragging food home from grocery stores or dragging cards in plastic boxes/board games around at best…
As much as I like mine, I don’t think it has been around long enough to make this kind of recommendation yet. For now, I’d recommend something that’s been around longer.
I’ve seen a couple recommendations for Swiss Gear, which I can wholeheartedly agree with. I have 2 approaching 20 years old. One looks brand new. The other clearly isn’t new, but has no functional flaws.
I also really like my Rush 5.11. It has been my primary travel, hiking, and camping bag for years. I treat it like shit, and it still looks flawless.
