i am constantly on the lookout but have not bought anything for years. serious travel bags are expensive and id hate to be disappointed. my current rotation of thrifted and gifted bags have plenty of room for improvement but they suffice for now.

I think the oldest I have, still in use, is more than a decade old…

@hsl My backpack is literally this one, lol. The size fools you as you can literally fit two 2l bottles in it and still have some room to spare. It still lasts after 7 years or something and I’ve been through so many places with it. I always wonder how it can hold up this well. It does show it’s age though, there is some tearing on it. It is usually this moment when I get a new one 😁

So yea, it’s for life for me - whether my own or the backpack’s one, lol

I love watching the communities and what’s new, but I tend to stick with what I have.
