Ok I've given up on jansport, they have failed me for the last time. So I'm going to try this new brand and my friend says he's had his bag for 3 years already and it's still like new. So here's what I'm getting in dusty olive.

I've already ordered it. I also wanted to try SwissGear since they are around $40 on Amazon. Anyone here has had a SwissGear backpack? What other brands you guys recommend? How long have you had your backpack and are there any tears on it?

well im on my second swiss gear backpack the first one lasted 3 years but i had to replace it after one of the straps broke (one of the plastic holding the strap together actually) and i love them
they are durable cuz i treat mine like crap but they still last forever

I use east pak, I think every Dutch kid does.

Good bag, looks decent, lasts long, good buy.

whats an east pak O_o? i've only seen kipling's D:

I only use Bulldozer bags. look alot better than most bags i've seen and they are like 10 euro and last for 3 years if you throw them around on a daily process.

Edit: never actually seen on sale anywhere else but Bulgaria, but you can still search for it...

Lasted me 4 years of High School. Just take care of your backpack. wtf are you doing with it? Practicing UFC fighting moves?

I have a nike, for only a week. I like it, looks and comfort. cant really say anything much else cause i only had it for a lil while I get new backpacks each year though, cause the ones i get usually only last a year until rips comes

Kipling in Holland is for the first year students who think they need all their books on them 24/7.
"Hey bag, where are you going with that child?" is a sentence that springs to mind when I think about Kiplings.

Mine looks like this:



Billabong

Well I need to carry a laptop, 1 or 2 textbooks and accessories so the ridge runner isn't too bad with around 1800 cubic inches. The Turbo is a beast though, it has 2700 cubic inches of space.

The looks kind of turned me off though.

Is that a backpack or a suitcase??

It's a backpack for campus and commuters.

Sorry..internet sarcasm. I've got a 'tracker' backpack but they've got way to many for me to search through to post a pic. I've had a SwissGear before and it was holding up well until the zipper started to tear away from the backpack itself.

chicks dig it...trust me ;D

I used to live in Downey. Now I live in Rowland Heights. Near Pomona, West Covina, and Hacienda Heights. I go to school in Whittier.

my jordan bookbag had it for 3 years still strong

I personally like Mountain equipment co-op bags, they're really durable and looks pretty nice

My Jansport backpack is lasting me 5(iirc) years and still whole.

Here's my BackPack So far so good ^_^
