I bought a nice Jansport backpack in 5th-6th grade, and it's still going strong in my 30s. It's been through years of school, college, and a family member took it when they had to do a military tour in Iraq. Still going strong, not a single tear.
Jansport? I thought those were the cheap ones I’ve had to replace every year for my kids
Yeah man, I've had both experiences with Jansport.
Have one that lasted FOREVER, and several that lasted less than two years. Couldn't tell you why the difference. They were all very similar models.
Although, I bought a Swiss Gear backpack about 4 years ago for laptop/travel needs. Granted, there has been less wear on this backpack vs others I've had in my life. But this one has very little damage even after several trips. Very satisfied with this backpack.
Pretty much the same story for me. I'm creeping up on my 40s. Mine has lasted me through highschool and college. I still use it as my daypack on family vacations and to haul my DnD stuff.
