It has very tough fabric, with a rigid hard rubber skeleton. The stitching is some of the best I've seen outside of military vests. The padding is amazing and can survive most day to day drops. And it has a chest and buckle so it won't be going anywhere.

Hi - I travel a lot on airplanes and it is holding up well at present. It holds a lot of equipment, and lots of straps to make it secure. Not got a motorcycle but think it would work fine.

It's a very sturdy bag. I've had this bag for a couple of months now and it's holding up quite well. It also has a number of obvious and not-so-obvious storage spaces. Helps to keep you pretty organized. I bet it will also look cool with you on your bike :)

This bag is more durable than the one I purchased from Target. I've used this bag for several months now and have had zero rips, tears, or broken straps. I use it to carry soiled work clothes to and from work once a week. Also, I purchased the largest size available and it was way too big, you may want to consider that.

I think it would be a great backpack for someone that age to use as a large pack now then a as they get older a 2-3 day pack. It's a killer backpack I love it. Super durable.

Pretty durable, it's been in my school back pack for at least a month now, and it still works.

This would be a great backpack for school. I carry tools in mine to work every day and it holds up fine. Can't beat the Badlands warranty

The product is very durable I had it in my back pack for almost a month as I teated it in several locations with mixed results. I was never once concerned with breaking the product.

Yes I have used it many times as a 1 or 2 night bag... It has allot of different compartments and is very will designed. I bought this backpack for work and I lug tools and a computer around every day with it. Not a single problem have I experienced and I anticipate many more years of hard use. Well built, good material and very practical... I do recommend this product...

I used this bag to commute to work with a 15" MacBook Pro for 2008 - 2014. It worked great. I put the MBP in a neoprene sleeve on one side, my work clothes in a cinch sack on the other, and my lunch and tools in the top. It held up very well for a few years, and then the zippers and tie-downs on the sides started failing. All-in-all, it was a decent way to get into bike commuting without going all out for panniers.

Yes, it is durable. Have had it for about 4 years. But I have to say I had to replace the strap after about a year. I have washed it many times and it is still the same. Good item.

I ride to work with my lap top all the time. I do zip it in a a foam sleave just in case. These panniers have enough room for me to go on three day bikepacks. If anything they may be a little large for daily commutes but thats much better than too small. I see other people concerned about rain on their lap top. They make zip lock bags the size you need and larger. I use them for my lap top and w hen backpacking, everthing goes in zip locks.

Fairly durable. I have used it with my 17" laptop (7 pounds), a couple of thick books, and all kinds of stuff in it. I am guessing it has weighed in at around 40 pounds or so, with no problems.

I have not had this one for a year but I carry my heavy bass amp on it and take it up and down stairs and it has held up well. I had one before but made the mistake of giving it away. The guy is still using it and he carries amp as well. These are rugged tires.

I've had three of them for about two years and travel with them constantly. I'm easy on my equipment and use well padded bags so I'm not sure how they would hold up to abuse but with proper care I've had no issues at all.

It is very durable. I have used this every single day for months and it still looks brand new. And no I am not gentle with it either. I getsvput on he floor thrown into the trunk.... I had the old version of this backpackers and it lasted me two years. This one is made a little heavier so I expect that it will last longer. It is the best backpackers I have had.

I think the plastics made these days won't wear out in our lifetimes. I'd say it's pretty durable; up at bear camp I kept this on my belt attached by a bicycle inner-tube chunk, it didn't move and held up fine in thick cover. I highly recommend this, may want to put some super glue on the fire rod handle where it attaches to the rod as that was the first thing that failed but was a quick-n-easy fix.

I agree with the other comments. I've had my bag for four months, with constant use(I use it as my school bag, tablet bag and a purse substitute). No sign of wear and tear yet.

i would describe it as moderately durable. it is just too small for my use. it will carry a full days food. i now use a plastic igloo box which isn't as carry friendly nor does it compartmentalize.
