Should I buy this for 500$?






visvim 22l black



It's quite preposterous, but I want a quality backpack that can last me a long time.
What are alternatives I can look into?

Well if quality is really what you're after you can buy an osprey backpack for under $100 and it'll outlive you. If you want both quality and that style, there are lots of other options that aren't half a stack.

Get? I like the conservative drape and tighter fit towards the bottom. $165.

the toe box is wider but they're narrow from the arch back. I sized down from my achilles

Do these fit looser than the Achilles?

Thanks, I'll give em a shot. I feel like I'm in between sizes for Achilles so I never felt comfortable getting a pair.

Thanks. I'll look into other brands.
I cannot justify spending 500$ on a bag, but visvim is known to have high quality, and the bag is simple.
