The cream of the crop. This is an instance where you'd rate it as a "6"! Nine years of continuous use! I'm considering replacing it now. Polar P1956 (the same backpack, but with a little different design) will do for a change. For "dirty" expeditions (caves, abandoned objects, etc.), I plan to use this backpack as a backup. Reasons to be optimistic: - Convenience (straps, double zippers, and a padded back) - Longevity (most famous and well-known brands' backpacks break after 2 years). This one has a minimum lifespan of five years. - Storage space (the ideal amount for a city is 27 liters). - Usefulness (many of storage spaces, including zipped pockets inside) Design (a few other models share the same basic features). Reasonable cost (when compared to alternatives). The downsides are: I see folks carrying identical backpacks on the street at least once a month. This information (that the backpack won't be special) may be crucial for some people. To reduce the number of potential matches by a factor of ten, I suggest picking a model that isn't black but another color, like red. - Skateboard, snow ski, and other binding-equipped types are not allowed. After 5 years of use, the plastic belt carabiner broke (my fault, they stepped through it a couple of times); after 8 years, the main compartment's bottom developed two small holes from constant rubbing; and after 9 years, the main compartment's zipper gave up. All of this is easily replaceable (you can always put a new zipper in or buy a new carabiner), so I don't see it as a big deal, especially when the item is used on a daily basis.
