Hey everyone! I'm on the lookout for a durable backpack or handbag brand because my current backpack, which I thought was solid, has started to fall apart after less than two years. It's been a decent bag with a laptop compartment and all, but it's frustrating to see holes forming in spots that shouldn't wear out so quickly. I'm hoping to find recommendations for bags that will last, even if they are a bit pricier. What brands do you think are worth investing in?

I’ve been using a Lowepro bag that’s designed for camera gear, but it’s been perfect for my laptop too. It has a lot of customization options, and it’s super durable. I've had mine for over a decade!
I’ve heard good things about Lowepro! They seem to be reliable for daily use.
I swear by Osprey backpacks! I’ve had mine for nearly 6 years, and it’s still in fantastic condition. They even offer a lifetime warranty, so you can bet on their durability.
Same! My Osprey is the best gear investment I've ever made.
I’ve taken my Osprey through all sorts of hiking trips, and it still looks brand new!
For something more affordable, I got a MATEIN Travel Laptop Backpack for $40 CAD. It’s been holding up great for daily use and has plenty of room for everything I carry.
That's a steal! I’ll definitely check that out.
I've seen some good reviews on that brand too, so it's nice to know it’s reliable!
Timbuk2 is an awesome option! Their Large messenger bag is water-resistant, has space for two laptops and your lunch, and even has leak-proof compartments, so if your lunch spills, it won't ruin your tech. Plus, they have a great warranty! I've had mine for about 7 years, and it's held up really well.
Totally agree! I’ve used a Timbuk2 for years and it’s still my go-to for travel.
Same here! Their bags are super sturdy and they fix them for free if they wear out. Can't go wrong with that!
I recently got the backpack from Linus Tech Tips, and I have to say, the quality is impressive! It has plenty of storage, and I’ve been really happy with it so far.
I love mine too! It's perfect for carrying my laptop and tech gadgets.
The commuter version is nice too, with less branding. Might give it a try!
Sounds like a great option! I've always wanted a Lowepro for my camera stuff.
