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…
I actually originally had one of those, gave it to a friend, who got rid of it to another friend… Reason I got rid of it myself was how difficult it was to customize it any.
True, it’s more of an “everything goes in the round hole” kind of bag. And I’m occasionally swapping things in and out of it, but still. When I travel for only a couple days, I use it at a suitcase. When I hike locally, I use it as a trail pack. When I’m not sure what I’ll be doing that day or where I’ll end up? I load it with a mix of clothes, steam deck, laptop, and other goodies I might want.
I have an actual suitcase, and I’m gonna buy an actual backpack for hiking and camping, but still. I find it very fitting for my needs.
When I need to clean a lot into it? I can, and it’s huge, and I can strap stuff to the back and sides.
When I only have a couple things? It compresses down pretty small and lightweight. I’ll never ditch it 😬
