18M, entering uni soon and looking to replace the Osprey kids’ pack that I’ve been using for the past 9 years.
I’d like a backpack that’s able to carry a 14 inch laptop, a textbook or two, a jacket, an umbrella, a water bottle… A laptop pocket and side pouches for water bottles are preferable but not a must.
Budget approx. 500-700 HKD (64-90 USD). Looking into getting a Jansport Right Pack (with the reinforced bottom), but I’d like to hear your recommendations.
Old Jansport was great. New Jansport is utter trash. You will get 1-2 years of light use before it breaks.
Is this true? Did they switch manufacturers or something? I’ve heard of the same happening to other previously reputable brands like Doc Martens, it’s a real shame.
