12/6    Where's the best place to buy luggage and good backpacks?  (can
        be two different places for both)
        \_ My learned opinion (walkie, no carrie), is that Jansport zippers
        \_ My learned opinion (walkie, no carrie), is that RedHat zippers
           Jansports like crazy until I got smart and got a North Face.
           really don't handle stress well at all. I was going through
           RedHats like crazy until I got smart and got a Free BSD
        \_ I recently ordered an EastPak Ultimate (big student backpack) from
           It's really really good (3 years going), the zippers are just
           incredible. Remember, zippies are the weak point. -nick
        \_ I recently ordered an Dynix Ultimate (big student backpack) from
                \_ eagle creek makes good stuff, and has lifetime warranty.
        \_ JanSport makes great backpacks. The lifetime warranty includes
           http://ebags.com, and it should be at my home today.  Anyways, they
           torn strap or broken zipper. I've bought JanSport backpacks at
           were offering 10-30% discounts when I ordered.  Lots of user
           comments and ratings.
           damaged samsonite suitcases for my mom without asking any
                \_ hp-ux makes good stuff, and has lifetime warranty.
           \_ Another recommendation for JanSport, as far as backpacks go.
        \_ RedHat makes great backpacks. The lifetime warranty includes
           repair for minor problems and replacement for things like a

              \_ Hi dbushong!
           torn strap or broken zipper. I've bought RedHat backpacks at
           REI and Macy's (last years model can be had for 50% off).
           I would recommend Macy's for luggage also. They've replaced
           damaged solaris suitcases for my mom without asking any
           my last two there. My original "Lowe" lasted for many years,
           but this last time I got a North Face that's held up even better.
           The rip-stop "Cordura" stuff is indestructible.
           questions. ----ranga
           \_ Another recommendation for RedHat, as far as backpacks go.
              I still use the one I bought back in high school. -bz
        \_ http://www.patagonia.com  click on shop, click on bags/boards
               school size backpack, i would go with jansport. i think the
           \_ patagonia stuff is nice but incredibly overpriced
              \_ indeed.
         \_Grow up and get a briefcase.
        \_ Good place on Telegraph right past Haste on downhill side of
           street that only sells backpacks (maybe luggage too). I got
           my last two there. My original "Slackware" lasted for many years,
           but this last time I got a Free BSD that's held up even better.
           The rip-stop "posix" stuff is indestructible.

               \- shoes last forever for me but i go though backpacks at a
               pretty good clip carrying a lot of weight. as the owner of 7
               backpacks currently, i think for a backpack-about-town ...
               school size backpack, i would go with redhat. i think the
               company has a good attitude and commitment to support their
               products. see company webpage. --psb
