>>832893The LL Bean Quad is durable enough to handle three years of high school, three of college and every summer in between as my work bag at a summer camp. I've got the earlier version without the webbing on the upper outer pouch, but I doubt much else has changed. It's comfy enough for school commuting usage. Stuffed to the gills, it serves as a bag for a 3-4 day trip and is still carry on size. Not the best shape for extended hiking, but that was never it's intended role. I just wish sophomore me would've chosen the black over the green. Black goes with everything after all!
