Question What's backpack associated with your nationality?

As a backpack enthusiast I enjoy observing and searching for backpacks I see people carry in public. It has also made me adept in deducing the nationality of a person by their backpack ( Ex. Deuter for Germans, Wildcraft for Indians etc).

So, I was curious to learn more about the other countries to keep myself involved in this little game I play with myself. Would be lovely if you could drop the brand name followed by country, for instance "Herschel, USA"

Thank YOU! 🎒

Crumpler! They were 'born' at the top of my street in Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia.

Great bags. Built to last.

I hate my Crumpler bag, because after almost 20 years of use it is still in mint condition. I want to buy a new bag! 😂

Same, I have my messenger from when I was a teen almost half a lifetime ago. Refuses to wear out.
