I carried some weight around in it today, and didn't even want to take it off! And when I did it was with great fondness that I set it down. I haven't worn a pack for 30 years.... I am so pleased to once again be able to use one..... I love it and thank you so much for your concern for the health of those of us who wear these things!!!" Kathleen DeCelle, Aug. 2002

The backpack has survived middle school, high school, college (including a semester abroad in Italy)....jobs in England and Portugal, a trip to Morocco, graduate school in Albany, my Peace Corps experience in Micronesia, and a honeymoon. The backpack is still going strong today. I use it every day ....The backpack has endured rugged trips through 4 continents, and has held up under heat, rain, snow, leaky containers, washers and dryers and all sorts of general abuse for 23 years! And I see no reason why it shouldn't last as long as I need it." - Gardner Smith
"I own 2 Super Padres, 1 large size and 1 medium, and use them for travel - both for business and for leisure. The large holds enough for a 2-week vacation, while still being a manageable weight. The medium easily carries all I need for 1 or 2 day business trips.... For me, the Super Padre defines independent travel!" epinions.com product review
