Didn’t realize how attached I was to my old backpack until it finally started falling apart
I wanted to hold a Viking funeral for my backpack after 30 years of service. The Osprey Flare has been a good replacement.

Thoughts on the Osprey Flare 27? It seems to have most of the features I want but would love to know your guys' experience. I'm looking to use this backpack daily for college for the next 5 or so years, at least.
I have the older flare, love it. It's the perfect lightweight bag, Right now some of the mesh has torn, the bottom back fabric is worn off and the lining is flaking. but it's been with me, everyday, for everything. Groceries, hiking, daywalk, commute, work, school, everything. currently it's my diaper bag. nothing ever broke on it, it just got worn. If I could buy it again, I would.

600D fabric is tough enough for every day use including being dragged around on the bus or on the floor. Osprey’s warranty is also quite great as well.
