[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you asked your daughter? I get wanting to buy her a nicer item, but as a parent of two college kids, I would hold off on that. College kids are often walking a lot, hauling their stuff in the rain, throwing their bags on dirty floors, etc. They need sturdy backpacks that can take a lot of abuse. The nicer bag would be a great gift for college graduation.[/quote] +1 - parent of a college freshman [/quote] +2 from another parent This is an excellent milestone gift in concept, but I don't think it will survive contact with reality. My kid's backpack does double-duty for weekend trips, outings with friends (to hold ski clothes, towel for canoeing), short visits home, even supermarket runs. It also gets kicked under the bed, dropped on dining hall tables, exposed to rain and snow while walking to class, etc. Lightweight, durable and flexible should be your watchwords. [/quote]
