It cost a lot.

That was twenty years ago.

It was completely worth it.

It was the comfiest backpack with the best arrangement of pockets I’ve ever used.

I saw they had an ‘unlimited lifetime warranty,’ so I went to ask about it.

I gave the old one to my cousin, who was 12 or 13 years old at the time.

This was like ten years ago.

He still uses it.”
