Samsonite, I'm on my 3rd backpack of theirs. I've been using them since I was about 11 or so, I'm 26 now.
They're not officially water or wear proof, but they've always been that way in my experience regardless. Even after years of daily use,and I was a weird school going kid that liked his bag heavy.
Their zippers failed on my on both my previous bags, when they got really cold in the winter. I don't know if it's the less cold temperatures of today, or whether they've improved their zippers, but they've not failed on my latest bag. Which is currently about 13 years old I think? It looks as good as new still
YKK zippers have a reputation for holding up though I've had one or two recently that didn't last (you can see YKK on the handle)
YKK dominates zippers from meh quality to the best. It's up to the downstream partner to decide which they want
mine have a little whirlpool logo, I don't know what that is
Agreed. The zipper on My Samsonite roller case has been abused beyond belief and generally tested to breaking point over and over, and yet it resists and basically feels as good as new. Of course, I paid top dollar for that thing. You do get what you pay for.
We have a saying here "goedkoop is duurkoop" which means "to buy cheap is to buy expensive"
I would've ran through 10 cheap bags by the time 1 good back would fail. Making it much more expensive to buy cheap
That, but in one sentence
