$110 for a backpack? What are you smoking?

$110 is for the husk of the backpack.

It's $180 if you actually want the things that give it organized compartments.

$100 for a bag is relatively cheap tbh but not a child’s bag though.

Check out peak design, wndrd and many other brands.

Nonsense. $100 for a backpack that isn't for some specialized purpose is ridiculous.

I think that’s what people are getting at with the pricing complaints - I would also happily spend a few hundred on a backpack for myself, but not for a kid.

I feel like if I bought him a good 1000d or maybe even 500d cordura backpack it would last significantly longer that the cheap nylon ones I always used in school is all. I'm sure there's options that don't totally break the bank but idk maybe I'm a backpackaholic but $100 is like an entry level backpack for what I usually look for. I'm sure you could find a Korean cordura equivalent product manufactured in china for like $40-50 even. Vietnam idk as much about because I've only worked with ISO9001 backpack companies out of that country.
