>>2143592not due to fuckups but I myself and guilty of cutting trips short a day or a half day short due to incoming rain. That being said have had to cut a trip short when I was hiking earlier this year and my old shitty chinesium alps internal frame pack critical failed along a primary seam and the back began disintegrating. I took my belt out of my pack since I wasnt wearing it and used it to hold the pack together well enough to patch the hole in the pack with ductape. With all that done I hiked another couple of miles and called my ride to come pick me up early since one of the should straps started to give as well about 100 yards from the road I met my ride at. Moral of the story is chinesium products do not age well even with light use.
