Cabin bag that last for years
TNF Basecamp is burly as hell. My wife and I each have a S (for carryon) and L (for checked) that have been all over the world over the past 10+ years, beat up, abused, dropped in puddles, strapped to roofs, and more recently went through a flood. Overall, they are still in great shape. There was a tiny bit of delamination on the edges of my wife’s bag when we ran it through a commercial washing machine 5 times in a row to try to salvage it after the flood, but other than that it’s still in perfectly functional condition. I like the Patagonia bag too. I think it might be a little better design, seems very durable, but possibly not entirely as durable at TNF one. That said, Patagonia has a great warranty and is just overall a great company (one of the few that is clearly worth supporting these days). I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

Backpack suggestions?
TNF bags are kinda annoyingly handy and long lasting.

Duffle Bag Recommendation
If you need something that's mostly waterproof, durable, and available in colors other than grey, black or coyote tan, a TNF Base Camp duffel is the ticket, or the similar Patagonia Black Hole. The first is available in multiple sizes, from little more than a gym bag to a 150 liter monster.

Men's rain jacket that's actually waterproof
My TNF full waterproof shell has lil armpit zippers to let me breathe while getting blasted by water.

Anyone know any brands where you can buy puffer-jackets that have "Cinch Cords"
TNF thermoball also has one. I got it instead of the Patagonia because it was on clearance at a local place.
