I have some older backpacks I no longer use. Both have been use significantly for numerous years but have never been or needed repairs.

I'm mostly looking to get rid of these without taking a loss on shipping so trades are fine, but I have nothing specific I'm after right now. If you're local, a case of good beer or bag of coffee would be fine too.

$20 camelback minimalist, or basic, or classic. Not sure exactly on the name as it has been disco'ed for quite a while. It's a small, simple hydration pack with space for the 2 L bladder and a single external pocket with elastic straps on the outside. No waist strap on this and I've upgraded to a slightly larger pack with a waist strap.


$40 Joe Rocket Blaster backpack is a dedicated motorcycle backpack with a lot of volume and a helmet pocket thag will fit a fullsize helmet easily as long as you don't overfill the main pocket. Some organization internally and a cell phone pocket for the size cell phones used to be in the early 2010's. It was a great commuter pack when I was able to ride the motorcycle to work daily in the warmer months, before the need to haul kids around came. It's been sitting for probably 5 or 5 years but had almost daily use for 4-5 years. Zippers are still quite smooth and besides the bottom vinyl protective layer coming off and the inside probably needing a vacuum, it has a lot of life left in it. It has a pretty rigid internal frame and I carried up to 25 lbs, maybe more, for hours without issue with it. The external straps allowed me to carry all sorts of crazy things, the strangest being a bicycle frame I won in a raffle.

 
Throwing these away or donating after this weekend. I suspect the local salvation army won't want them as they don't seem to want anything but clothes lately, so please make an offer on them if you have any interest. I hate to throw them out, but have no use for them anymore.
