Anything from The North Face will LAST and I mean LAST. I have had the same backpack from them for what will be 4 years, and since i am still in school and travel a ton, this thing has seen things from musty work out clothes to 2 textbooks along with a computer pouch that works very well i might add. I currently am using The Hotshot which is about $80 if you look it up on ebags.com. The North Face gives you a lifetime warranty for the material and offer a wide range of styles from computer pack, to 82 oz. Day Pack(which is what i think mine is). The straps have never lost their comfort and the outside is waterproof and it even has an option for a water bladder if you want it. Just my opinion though, look it up for yourself I'm sure if u want quality you will. I could never have been happier with the bag
