Planning to buy a backpack this Prime day.
Please give me some suggestions.
The last few backpacks I had got worn out in 6-12 months, so I want something sturdy and good quality.
Years ago, I had a Camel Mountain backpack which lasted many years and remained strong until it got misplaced or went to someone else in the family.
My other requirements are :
It should be comfortable on the back. Not too big and not too small. 26-30L, I guess.
It will be used daily to the office commute.
I only carry my lunchbox, earbuds, charger, wallet and few knickknacks. I don’t carry a laptop or a tablet.
Waterproof is preferable.
Budget is not an issue, but I don’t like to overpay for some brand name. 2-3K is fine. Beyond that, I would only go if it is actually worth that much.
) was a great bag that served me well throughout the years. It has ample spacing, looks cool and has good features.
Too bad it isn’t available easily anymore.
Are Nike/Adidas brands not your preference? I have a Nike bag that I bought for like 3k in 2015 and used until 2022. I just retired it cause I wanted a new bag, It’s still in solid shape no wear/tear on the cloth/straps, All zips are solid. I used this bag on a daily basis for 2 years & then for travelling around. So maybe someone else can also share their experience with sport brand bags as I don’t see any mention of them.
I have never used those brands and hence I asked for suggestions here. I will check them out.
I’ve used Safari, Killer, Targus and Camel Mountain so far. CM was best, Targus was good, the other two so-so. CM is not available on most sites these days, it seems.
And yes, a link to the actual product will be much appreciated.
Unfortunately, Since I got it in 2015, I don’t really see the same type on their website.
I currently have an adidas originals one that I got from Dubai cause I wanted to try Adidas. Got in 2022 & I don’t really use it enough to give a quality review of the that one so didn’t mention it earlier.
Using my Wenger Ibex for 8th year now. Always overfilled, travelled countries with it, not even a stitch is off.
I think Wenger is now officially available in India with reasonable pricing compared to the crazy pricing prior to them being available here officially.
): If you don’t prefer hardshell. This is my current travel bag for short trips when I don’t need to take out Osprey Farpoint 40. Perfect for travel or daily commuting. If you find it too big, they have a 24ltr version too.
