I love how simple and minimal this bag is! I have one that is over 10 years old and I'm not buying. a new one to replace it but to have another around the house.
Had this backpack for almost a decade and held up really well to a ton of wear and tear. Used and abused it the whole time I owned it and the small pocket zipper finally failed me, but I definitely got my money's worth. Fits a deceptive amount while still keeping a great shape because of the drawstring design. Looking to purchase another now that will hopefully last just as long.
It was 2011 and I was at a convention in Las Vegas and I was gifted this bag as swag. I used it primarily for my trip going around the convention and was impressed at how much it could hold and carry. Once I returned home, I found myself replacing my daily driver bag with this one and it's been 9 years and lots of miles and this bag has still stood the test of time! I can't believe how incredibly strong the stitching is and the drawstring. I've definitely overpacked this bag on numerous occasions and it has far exceeded my expectations! I'll definitely be purchasing this bag again in the near future! Well worth the investment!
Thank you Manhattan Portage!
