mmouse1 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 My son is really tuff on backbacks, he will be starting middle school in the fall and I am sure it will be worse. I have heard good things about Lands End, anyone else have a favorite? Of course, I am looking for a good deal too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokanm Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 LL Bean hands down. They have a free lifetime replacement warranty on them too. The best $40 you will ever spend. DS22 has had the same backpack since he was 10 and it is still going strong. I even wash it and dry it to keep is cleaner looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannon91c Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 We like the Dakine bags, my DD17 has had hers for 5 years and it is still in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_jenni_jocelyn Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I 2nd the LL Bean. I bought my dD one last year when she started Kindergarten and she is using it again this year and will for many more years. So far it looks brand new and i have washed and dried it recently with her starting school yesterday. My DH has a Jansport that he has had since the 10th grade... he is now 31 and still uses it! He carries his work laptop, papers, folders, extra set of clothes for when he plays basketball at his lunch. That backpack his been everywhere and in all kinds of conditions and still has not 1 hole in it, the straps arent worn, nothing is tearing.

tnewendorp Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I agree! LL Bean is the way to go! They cost a little more, but it's worth it in the long run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
