These don't wear out
..it's now 19 years later, and I am still using those bags-- they have been around the world with me several times, carried just about everything, experienced bad weather, food spills, road dirt and constant over-stuffing. and they are still in amazing shape! I hope you aren't putting yourselves out of business by making such amazing products-- I can't think of any other daily use item that would last 2 decades. you should be proud! ~ Stu
