I originally read this as
"Florida man bites alligator on his front porch after he opens door: police"
Now that would be oniony. This is normal.

No it's almost everything Jansport.

I usually end up with issues with zippers and then they end up repairing whatever else they find that might be a little off even though it's usually light normal wear and tear. (It seems to take about 10 years to show any wear and tear at all and it's usually pretty mild).

All do. I've send back one bag twice. I've had it since the 90s.

Jansport bags. They last forever. I found one of their space ones for $2 at a thrift store.

I literally know that.
They said they had one going for 15 years, I have a backpack going for 25 which was a Jansport.

I've never heard of the brand, so don't have any experience.
That's one of the reasons to go for Jansports. They don't ask.
Hope you end up getting it worked out!

Every time I find one when thrifting I pick it up, I just picked up one at a thrift store. I know they will last forever and Jansport will fix them anyway!

Haha.
I have one backpack (a Jansport) that is literally over 25 years old and is still in daily use.
Jansport has a lifetime guarentee
