I’ve got a backpack that’s falling apart after less than a year and was looking for a much better one that will hold up well. Specifically, the use case is dragging food home from grocery stores or dragging cards in plastic boxes/board games around at best…

    Don’t get a “backpack”. You want a day bag or some other hiking thing.

    But if you’re using it for groceries, you’re probably better off paying for delivery and buying in bulk these days.

    It’s like $5 flat rate, that’s easy to make up compared to buying a backpack at a time.

      Maybe in your part of the world, it’s $5.

      In mine, it’s $25, starting price, and the sales are never on the ordering apps so you’re paying full price for everything. Added to the fact I live less than ten to fifteen minutes away from a grocery store, with deliveries taking upwards of 4 hours to arrive, there’s no point in taking advantage of them.

      A day bag may also be an option but I would also like to be able to fix it if it rips or tears.
