>>2790838Various backpacks
>cheap 2-compartment school backpackStill use it for the gym, the zippers are all fucked and the seams are coming apart but it still holds clothes and towels, and I don't want to stink up any of my other backpacks with sweaty clothes.
>Deuter Gigant from 2015Same story as the no-name one, was my daily pack throughout uni and several years of working, commuting by motorbike and bicycle.
>Särmä large assault packOnly 2 years old but I recently dumped the motorbike and slid on my back so now the front pocket has a hole and the front strap is 90% to being ripped through. I should get around to patching and stitching those, respectively, then it'll be good for another few years.
For longer bicycle rides, I still use my granddad's old touring bicycle. It's light, supremely comfy, ugly enough that nobody will steal it, and has basically no rolling resistance.
But the gear shifter and rear sprocket are mismatched (7 vs 6 gears, there were supply issues during the lockdowns) so shifting is a pain, and the taillight and its wiring should have been replaced 30 years ago.
>>2792172I made the silly mistake of replacing my loose-fitting textiles with tighter-fitting ones a few years ago, only to find out that I wasn't able to layer up for winter riding. So I kept using the old pair of Rev'it pants
>bought them in 2015>crashed into the side of a truck merging onto the Autobahn that same year>patches everywhere>not a single pocket without a hole>velcro basically worn outThe only redeeming qualities are that they're comfy, the protectors come out easier than on all other gear I've owned, they have two separate liners for wind/rain protection and thermal insulation, and they're loose enough to wear long johns and sweat pants underneath.
I did buy a new loose pair the other week, but they only have a single combined liner and the zipper doesn't match the jacket's.
