Title: you get what you pay for
Review: DO NOT BUY THIS BAG IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT WILL LAST BEYOND ONE TRIP. I bought this backpack for my husband for a 2-week backpacking trip to Italy. All our luggage were in two backpacks (I had a backpacking bag I had bought 10 years ago that was ~$150 at the time -- and it is still fine and sturdy, surviving a handful of 2-3 week backpacking/overseas trips).When we got the backpack, the material was fairly thin. It was also quite light. My husband was able to fit all his items in the bag quite well. Unfortunately, the backpack broke 1 week into the trip -- the portion where the strap attaches to the backpack ripped. He tried to tie the strap to other portions of the bag and managed to survive, but the bag is unusable for any future trips. Furthermore, I also bought the bag about a month before we went on our trip, so I was unable to return the bag afterward, as the return window had expired by the time we returned. Invest more $$ to buy a bag that will last!
