Settling into my hotel here in Birmingham I thought about how my work bag is still in good shape after all the travel. I bought this Coleman bag in Japan in '02 (primarily 'cause it was on sale and actually affordable to a poor schmuck). Few hundred thousand miles and countless overhead bins later, it’s still in good shape. Never thought Coleman made any quality stuff but this has proven me wrong. Morizo (the forest dongle dangling off the bag- from the '05 Expo in Japan) seems to be doing OK too. ![http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=105&pictureid=778](http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=105&pictureid=778) What do you use for work / school? ---

I have a swiss army carry on that has a laptop pouch in it. I’ve had it for 6 years and countless trips everywhere. Was my daily carry into work too. Been left out in the rain snow etc. Thing won’t die. ---

Got a black Spec Ops T.H.E. bag. Ive had it for 8+ years and has been through hell and back with me. Rain storms, snow storms, sand storms, rock storms (:wierd), stepped on, slept on, ran over, used as a sandbag, strapped to the outside of vehicles for weeks on end and is still in great shape. I still use it for everything, its probably one of the best pieces of gear Ive ever owned! Best part: it still had Iraq moon dust in the seams that Im just gonna leave right in there. ---

![http://www.thatsourbag.com/prodimg/COLUU9251.jpg](http://www.thatsourbag.com/prodimg/COLUU9251.jpg) Been using a Columbia Wallowa pack for the past 3 years. Worked awesome for those 3 years, (used for books, hiking and snowboarding) but the zipper just bit the dust recently. Looking to get into a Dakine Heli Pro pack for next year. Will be better for lugging my board around when we hike up mountains. ![http://edge.shop.com/ccimg.shop.com/240000/240700/240749/products/-!DaKine%20Heli%20Pro%20Backpacks%20Rasta%20One%20Size--298581090.jpg](http://edge.shop.com/ccimg.shop.com/240000/240700/240749/products/-!DaKine%20Heli%20Pro%20Backpacks%20Rasta%20One%20Size--298581090.jpg) ---

I use an LL Bean backpacking back pack. For work I have to carry a ton of stuff and find this to be the best thing for it.
