Let me down

Ranked #1265 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
October 22, 2008
One of the shoulder straps broke on my first day of a month long trip thousands of miles away from home. I only had about 13kg of gear in it, too. THE FIRST DAY! Maaan...talk about a long trip after that. I know it must have been a fluke, but I'm still apprehensive when it comes to TNF now.

Yes, mine too! My impression now is that TNF quality is going down. They used to be much better when they weren't such a well known brand.
