      My jansport strap broke. Abused the shit out of it. When people say “it lasts forever” and stuff like that, the sentiment doesn’t carry the same weight with me.

      Seems like it anyway, hell other than the general grime you’d expect from years of hard use it’s damn near still in new condition.

    Pfftt… those are rookie numbers. You got to pump those numbers up.

    Mine’s lasted almost three decades.

    And been through literally everything I have. I’ve replaced the straps once though, as they broke once when it was like 24 years old and I jumped down from like an 2.5 meter fence with 24 cans of beer in it and the straps were already pretty worn down.

    God I love durable, functional shit.

    My jacket is older than me, lmao. That’s not personal use though, obviously, whereas I’ve had the backpack from when it was new in the early 90’s.

    I fucking love backpacks with a flap on top instead of a zipper. Ever since my first one senior year of high school I’ve never gone back
