Have you had them for a long time? How is the quality? My current backpack must be 10 years and show wear and I want to replace it before I get holes in it. It's a cheap North face which I use it daily for commuting, short hikes and travels.

How is the ergonomics of your backpacks?

I have not really decided on the size of my new backpack, the current one is 26 liters. And I might go for something similar, like the 22 liters backpack, or I might go for one smaller and one bigger.
