>>390154How big a pack do you need? I have a northface backpack that has lasted me for 4 years of daily use, innawoods and hiking. The only real damage on it so far is a small hole from my knife poking through. All buckles and zippers still work perfect. Cost me 70 bucks at the time. The hip and sternum straps are a little bare but for a small pack it's not too bad.
