Community noted

A general-purpose Patagonia daypack used for daily school, work, and travel carry.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

One owner reports over 10 years of daily use, carrying it every weekday for school and work and on every flight taken in that time, holding up as well as bags costing far more.

    I have a Patagonia backpack that cost $75 over 10 years ago... It's holding up just as good as this Tumi bag.
