Had this one.

Lifetime warranty.

I've had it for 17 years. The first trip through college, and now the second. Its been with me through Russia and a bunch of crappy Asian countries.



Its been to eastpak once for new zippers. I may send it again soon as the shoulder pads are wearing.

Nobody had backpacks or "booksacks" when I was in school.

We carried them under our arm, like real men.

I doubt it. He was probably a "real man" and walked to school in 2 feet of snow every day (summer too).

We drove cars with 454s, 427s, and 440 hemi engines in them.

We would have laughed your VTech Honda driving asses out of the parking lot.

We had these old surplus WWII packs that my Mom would buy at K&B or TG&Y or some shite. They still sell them places. They were badass.


In the 70s St Anthony's sold these in their bookstore (and no - I am not kidding) to wrap around your books. Used it until 8th grade.

Me too. Green, rough, ugly as can be, but the strongest think around back then. The Jansport I had in college was a lot lighter and still tougher.

Savageorange... while I love American muscle as.much ad the next red blooded American male, you do realize most family v6s run 14s and under in the quarter these days right?

The najority of the poorly tuned blocks of the 60s and 70s would get their doors blown off by today's soccer moms.
