In 1989 I bought a backpack from NorthFace. It is still the backpack that I use. It has been all over the world. It has been on countless hikes and adventures.

In 1989 I bought a backpack from NorthFace. It is still the backpack that I use. It has been all over the world. It has been on countless hikes and adventures. It is damn near indestructible. I have the impression that NorthFace later retreated from quality. I suppose this was to boost profits? In 2010 I got a cheap daypack which has bears the NorthFace branch. It gave out after 2 or 3 years. Not terrible, but nothing like the backpack.
