Lands' End Zip-Top Cordura Review

Although i am not typically a Lands End shopper, a few years ago, they sent a seperate backpack catalog, and i was very intrigued...My now 9 year old son had always had character backpacks - a different one every year - they always fell apart.  Although the Lands End ones seemed a little pricey, they claimed to be extremely sturdy, and they were actually kind of cute...My son picked a navy blue one and we had them add a little basketball patch ( free of charge ).  Needless to say, they weren't lying!!!  My son is now in his 3rd year using it!!!!  It has gone on numerous plane rides as a carry on; it even went with my son to overnight camp!  I have washed it in the washing machine ( and hung it to dry ) numerous times, and quite honestly it still looks brand new.  My son is in 4th grade and carries a ton of books, etc., and the bag truly just can't be beat.  Well worth the price!!!! Every kid needs a Lands End zip-top Cordura backpack!!!!
