doubt they make them the same way so it wouldn't be as good

Sorry forgot to reply. Hedgren, it's called.

But idk if their current products reflect that level of durability.

I’ve got a 20 year old Swissgear backpack but I haven’t used it for a few years. It lasted through my rave/festival decade!

I used to break a backpack (usually zipper failure) every year until I got a swissgear backpack. It's 15 years old. It'll probably make it to 20.

I sound like a shill but I LOVE IT. Lugged laptops around with oodles of other things, I really like that the top handle has like, twisted wire in it so it doesnt snap off when carrying heavy loads.

Power (not adidas, the brand is power) backpacks are good. Spent like 25 bucks a decade ago and it only needed some stitches. Was daily use for most of that time, too!
