Do you live a low car / no car life? At the point where bags become something you use for hours everyday instead of minutes at a time from car to location and back you suddenly realize that price tag is 2 - 3 times of filling up your gastank for, say, 2 hours of use for the next 10 years

It makes sense if you're biking, yeah. I drive once a month but for walking and transit I usually just make use of a "JanSport" bag from the 80s, who knows how it hasn't disintegrated by now. If I need to bring stuff back a few folded tote bags in there has worked.

I mean your car is basically an inventory holder among other things so it makes little sense to spend big bucks on a backpack unless you're into hiking. It's just once the car is out of the picture the use cases change a lot.

Combine that with a windbreaker with a million pockets and you're ready to not see your house for days on end.

Honestly if I had the need for a good backpack I'd start looking for something like this, seems well thought out. Don't like the mag latches particularly because they are quiet but other than that? Good access, seems configurable for both bulk loads and lots of different shit, got some outside straps for lightweight bulky stuff. I'd rock this baby loaded with some good EDC stuff

If I was a professional contract killer I'd probably have a nice backpack too

I normally use my sister's nearly 40yo school bag that probably came from a department store.

Yeah I got one in middle school, dropped 120$ at the time for a durable/weatherproof one. Eh who knows with inflation but for length of service I can't fault it, it survived a civil war and is over 15 years old now. It's a bit big now that I don't carry text books.

wow product placement really keeps innovating

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Turns out this was just an advertising stunt by the company that produced the bag
