Hey guys- I'm in the market for a new bag right now, and I like the look of the Oakley Panel Pack. However, I've heard some people complaining about the durability. I would use it for a load of books for school and for some outdoors stuff as well as possibly utilizing it as a bug-out-bag. What experiences have you had with Oakley bags? Would you recommend something different, or would you buy this pack?
I've used HS for years, too. I've got two of these, one's in a bit of disrepair because I've had it since 4th grade. That one has a severely torn, but usable strap, and the pocket divider between the main and secondary pockets is torn at the top in both packs from cramming too much in. I've considered cutting it out completely because I never used the second pockets. I haven't needed either all year because I don't have a lot of books per class and I have a hard-shell briefcase for my laptop.
Thanks Matt, but I don't have much use for messenger style bags. I need to be able to run with it on. However, since the High Sierra brand seems reliable, so I'll look into that.
