I got a wolfpack quad (with wheels!) about 3 years ago. I have used it a LOT and it is now beginning to show some wear. The zipper is beginning to wear out, the button secure-thing-ies on the straps are coming loose, and the fabric covering is slowly detaching itself from the case. I wish I known about the "not made in the US" thing. I probably would have gotten something different.

In any case (no pun intended), I'll be looking to replace this Wolfpak in a few years when it finally wears out completely. On another note, why don't companies (and this is the most general sense) make quality products that last longer than 5 years, and why are US companies taking their labor overseas? I've always said, you can only have two of the following three things be low in any "product" you buy: cost, quality, or speed. If something is done fast and cheap, it sucks on quality (which is vast majority of things you find made in third world countries and your Wal-marts). If something is done cheap and of high quality, it usually takes forever (custom made items come to mind here). If something is done fast, and is high quality...it aint cheap (This is where the US used to excel, but now everyone wants things cheap). Companies should be focusing on "quality"...it seems like most are letting that one slide in favor of cost and speed...like Wolfpak. *grumble*
