what's an acceptable lifespan for a decent bag?
In my experience, a ~$100 bag should withstand 3-5+ years of heavy use and abuse without falling completely apart. A little wear and tear is reasonable, for sure.
I'm going on 5 years, give or take, with a GB Silverback. I've beat the holy living bejesusses outta that bag since I got it, in all conditions, and it's *just now* starting to get the smallest amount of fabric wear on the bottom, and a bit on the side mesh pocket.
