Why would a 30-50 year old adult use a backpack? Why on Earth would a 30-50 year old adult spend $129 for a backpack?
haha, why would a 30-50 year old want to carry shit around!?
If for any reason, I were to strap a backpack on my back, and turn around and say to my wife, "Ok honey, lets go".
She would 1st laugh her fucking ass off. Then 2nd, we would refuse to be seen with me. If I insisted on wearing my Pearl Jam backpack, she would then file for divorce.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

Must be a location thing. I'm in NYC and backpacks are common.

Why on earth would a grown adult buy a sheep figurine? At least you can use a backpack. I have stopped trying to figure out other people's taste and just worry about my own. I bet these back packs look a lot better when they are sold out.

How much were the PJ20 backpacks when they went on sale?
A lot less. I wanna say something like $70-80. Who knew the fair market value on backpacks would increase over 50% in 4 years?
I think they were $89, which is the price of the refugio bad at patagonia's site. These new bags are probably made of a more expensive material, so they cost more. I think the PJ bags were the same prices as the non- PJ bags.
They were less than $89 when they came out in 2011... And I think they PJ bags were actually LESS than the ones that Patagonia sold on line... not much but by a few bucks. Someone said $65, that sounds right before shipping.
I use a backpack whenever I travel, and also on outings like to the park, zoo, etc (yes I am a dad). The thing is I don't know if I need a backpack that says PEARL JAM on it all big, since I'd probably be wearing a Pearl Jam hat or shirt at the same time... And I could use the laptop bag for work, but again, don't need to show up every day with Pearl Jam right on there... still debating ordering that one. The best bag they sold was the original laptop bag in 2003... kills me that I didn't buy one cause I thought $50 was too much at the time.

For those keeping score at home... in the last 9.5 years... pearl jam has put out 2 albums... and 2 patagonia backpacks
I personally dont care what they sell, but i think that is why people complain... most of us are in it for the music, not products...
Tool hasn't released an album in over 10 years and they sell quilts for $200 or $300 on their website. So count your blessings and mind your manners.
Like I clearly said, I don't care what they sell, but the merch-to-music ratio is getting a tad out of balance, and I think that is why people complain
And I love tool, but who cares, they aren't even a band at this point in my opinion
10c should team up with Tortuga or Minaal and create a PJ branded carry-on specific bag for flying. That'd be excellent.

Backpacks are super handy. Hiking, music festivals, long walks to places, etc etc. Age has nothing to do with it. I'm surprised when someone DOESN'T own a backpack. I have 2. One smaller normal one for hikes, day trips, festivals, when flying, etc, and then a hardcore big one with a frame for camping or weekend trips without a car and shit like that. I love backpacks!.... just not this particular one, lol. But I can see why others would like it.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
same back pack sold on the Australian Patagonia website. I think it's good quality and looks good. Happy to own both. Thanks 10C
