Good for you.

You can get kids' backpacks from Osprey for $40, currently on sale for $23, and they will repair or replace any backpack they've ever produced. They make more expensive ($100), more technical ones (hip belt with side pockets) as well, but I don't think you need that in a school bag.

Before I sound like an Osprey shill, there are plenty of other technical backpack companies (North Face, REI's in-house brand, Gregory, etc.) that make kids' packs as well, most with an offering in the $35-45 range.

Redditor for 13 days comes to the rescue. What are the odds.

Just what we needed, another overpriced backpack disguised to help prevent spinal damage in children.

Give me a break. Not hating, it’s just people respect you a whole lot more when your real with them. I’m sure you’ll get plenty jobless soccer moms purchase these. Might wanna go back to your day job.

You didn’t really quit your job to pursue your passion of designing backpacks did you?

This comment gave me a stroke

Actually, let's see how it does. Asked ChatGPT to make a more interesting comment based on the AMA title:

"Hey Reddit community! I'm so excited to be here sharing my story with all of you. 3 years ago, I took a leap of faith and quit my corporate job to pursue my passion for backpack design. The journey was not without its challenges, as I faced a personal tragedy that changed my life forever. I lost my spouse, and it was a difficult time for me and my children.

But through it all, I never lost my determination to make my children's lives as easy and comfortable as possible. And that's what led me to pursue my passion for backpack design. I wanted to create a backpack that was not only functional and durable, but also a source of comfort for kids.

And after a lot of hard work and dedication, I'm proud to say that our first ever backpack for kids is finally here!

As a backpack designer, I understand the importance of functionality, durability, and style in a backpack, especially for kids. That's why we put so much effort into designing the perfect backpack for kids. Our backpack features adjustable straps, multiple compartments for organization, and a comfortable and breathable back panel.

I would love to hear your thoughts on our backpack and answer any questions you may have about my journey, including the personal hardship I faced and how it influenced my passion for making a better backpack for kids. AMA!"

Then get mad at the mods for letting this ama occur.

Undoing the whole “small and lightweight” draw….

Lol I got my commuter bag and my hiking pack and bailed on the scene. I ain't no hoarder.

It’s $110. That’s absurd

That backpack is getting slugs, boogers, and loose PB&J crammed into it; I'm not buying anything fancier than a basic Jansport.

Look at you. You need a bulletproof backpack?

Are YOU bulletproof? Or just a weak snowflake American vulnerable to pussy ass bullets?

I like turtles

Because it's a shitty advertisement disguised as an AMA. He's also only answering questions pertaining to his backpack, so it's not even an AMA, it's an "Ask me exclusively about this product I'm actively trying to sell to you".

Not to mention it is a tiny backpack. That is how they solved the problem of backpacks being heavy.

Want to bring your lunchbox or water bottle along? Don't worry, they will sell you matching accessories for those. Now you have something just as heavy as what they were replacing wit hshit dangling from all sides for the low, low price of $200.

I just imagine this on Shark Tank:

Kevin O'Leary: What's stopping me from going to China and producing these for $5 each in one month and destroy you?

Robert: My kids don't care about optimized backpacks or long-lasting ones. They just like whatever is trendy like themed backpacks.

Damon: For $110, I would just get some Gucci ones.

Exactly!!!

I'm here to talk about Rampart!

Not to mention those backpacks have a better warranty and look nicer

I bought a lightweight backpacking backpack with 25L capacity, a water bladder and drinking tube, and ergonomic back support for 120$ last winter. This dude is tripping.

The post title comes across as one of those weird LinkedIn posts that everyone knows is bullshit.

My Jansport is 20+ years old, still in great condition and cost a lot less than Camelbak branded ones.

Tiniest will retail for $139...
