Whereas my current Jansport doesn't have enough different pockets. There is no such thing as enough different pockets for me.

i like the look of these, though they are aggressively trendy and expensive
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Friday, 14 October 2016 16:20 (seven years ago) link
those look ok and less than what i just spent. :|
the strap on my giant digital-dj backpack ripped in two, and duct tape is only working to hold it together temporarily. i'm not going to sew it together right now, i don't have the time or the stuff or the skills. i really should learn how to do that. anyway i ordered a new backpack from amazon yesterday. it took two hours of looking and caused way too much anxiety. there are a lot of ugly-ass bags out there. i ended up spending $50 more that i don't really have on a travel/gym under armour bag instead of going for the really inexpensive stuff with brand names like Vitalismo and Kaka.
it's got that under armour bro-core thing going on but i feel somewhat more confident i'll be happy with it

Yeah, the last one I had (also inherited from my son) was FUL, and I felt like one.

oh god yeah, why are running trainers so horrible-looking? I'd love a pair of kix I can run in that don't look like some sort of 80s-futurist neon nightmare.

i have one of those in a slightly different model - i liked it a lot more in the pics online than when it arrived, it was way bigger than it looked and i learned a lesson to check the size of a bag by measurement. ended up abandoning it and will prob sell it.

one of the good things about LOL health goth is that it made sportswear look kind of sleek and stylish for all of 6 months. looks like we're back to dayglo bile now though

have to say some of this stuff is cool but other shit looks like those free reusable bags that are made of recycled plastic

kind of remind of that trend in puffy down jackets that look like shiny black trashbags

oh for sure, the appeal is mostly utilitarian -- they're waterproof and p much indestructible

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/a8/ed/b3/a8edb33fc0909a82675703ffa6dcc6b1.jpg
for about 4 years. it's p well made, has held together perfectly.
it is kind of ugly. my wife uses it mostly nowadays and basically hates the way it looks and constantly complains about how dorky it is and how she needs to buy a new one

I bought a stylish Converse pack last year for its looks and it makes me crazy that it's unwaxed cotton canvas that sticks to clothes and doesn't slide on and off easily, and that the cute retro metal zipper teeth stick and take two hands to zip up. I'm buying an ugly functional one next time.

that skagen backpack is nice, i am having a super difficult time finding one in black without a bunch of stuff going on.
bought an APC backpack a few weeks ago but it had giant silver buckles that looked shiny/terrible in person.. returned.. bought one from want les essentiels on sale and it's too big and boxy for me, returned. still looking. i want something i can take to work because my work tote bag is pretty old. and i hate 99% of all women's bags and purses especially ones with any kind of logo or hardware or stuff going on, but i also don't want it to be made of cheap looking material. thinking of ordering something from hope stockholm
