something that'd last a solid 5-10 years without falling apart

I mean you can't go wrong with a Jansport right ? Classic.

Jansport does indeed sound familar

not sure about classic, but these are money. all made with cordura, so suuuuper durable.

Not really classic looking but military grade backpacks are made to last. Rn I can think of Tasmanian Tiger and 511 Tactical.

The 511 is a classic!

I’ve had fjallraven for 5 years now going on 6. Incredibly sturdy and has protected my laptop. It’s been in many environments and I think it’s a solid investment.

Tumi - a bit expensive but worth it. IMO

I bought a hiking Jack Wolfskin backapck in 2012. Also a regular one for school and laptop in 2013. I still use them both today. I think the brand degraded their quality these days though as I tried purchasing new ones but didn't like anything.

Aer, ignoble, vollebak, anything military, anything cordura/dyneema

Carhartt ✌️😉

I have a Freitag, it's stylish and invincible

thank youu 🤗

I bought a Dakine backpack (w/an insulated cooler pouch) ~14 years ago. It has accompanied me backpacking throughout all of SE Asia for the last ~10 years. 💁‍♂️

I've gone through 4 laptops in the same timeframe & it protected all of them flawlessly (all the way up until the point where replacing/upgrading them made sense due to performance requirements). 🤷‍♂️

I STILL use it & there has never been a tear, zipper malfunction or anything like that even though it's my electronics bag & is regularly stuffed w/20kg+ of shit; I simply cannot kill this fucking thing. 🤙

Sounds perfect buddy, thanks a bunch 💜

Na saving they save me

The North Face definitely. I also like Samsonite backpacks for their price to performance ratio.

Northface is still super solid. Had one that lasted 20.
