I want to add/echo what great quality bags Jansport makes AND they have a lifetime guarantee. I have a back pack I bought around 1994 - my senior year in college. I remember it was an "expensive" purchase for me, but my backpacks until then were consistently falling apart from use. It survived last year of college, graduate school, 17 years of various travel and international mission trips for DS1. One of the internal panels ripped - I sent it to Jansport, they repaired it and sent it back! It's now on DS2. So, it has been a work horse now for 23 years!!! DS1 has his own now and I'm buying one for DS2.
