3 backpacks, 4 years, all failed the same way. Am I just hard on gear or is this normal?
Been backpacking on and off for years, usually one trip every month or so. a mix of day hikes and 2-3 night trips, nothing technical, just steady miles with a loaded backpack. My current just gave up on me. Hip belt stitching started separating on my last trip and one of the zipper pulls tore off completely about a mile from trailhead. Obviously need to replace it but not sure I want to go the same route again. Starting to think nothing holds up past 2 years of real use.
