How many of your kids are asking for spray ground backpacks?

Back in 2001 all the cool kids had rolling backpacks.

I don't even know what that is

I carried an LL Bean from my junior year in high school until I graduated college 11 years later. They are tanks.

And my mom took full advantage of the lifetime warranty. I swear she sent them back and got a new one every year.

What do they need a backpack for at all? My poor daughter has one that weighs about 350 pounds....I think she is smuggling concrete blocks into the contractor building the addition at her high school. Every summer I clean it out and take it to goodwill and all that is in it is wadded up paper and maybe 3-4 packs of peanut butter crackers. She is an honor roll student (not exactly a high bar in a public school but still) so it ain't like she ain't at least meeting the schools expectations. She may be getting extra credit for working as block masons apprentice for all I know...whatever it is when she gets out of the truck in the morning that damned backpack sounds like it weighs a ton as she drags it out of the floor....

I sure as hell did. I sent both of my daughters back every year. 4th grade til 12th grade. I even had the letter and address label saved on my computer. Update and print every summer.

Don't sell me something with a lifetime warranty as a selling point, I will not hesitate to use it.

0 he is a JR and I'm not sure he even has a backpack. in fact I'm not sure he even goes to school. but he shows up on Friday nights!

North face was the big thing when my kids were in school.
