In defence of the new ones, I’d say they’re still the most robust thermoses about even if the quality has dropped with the offshoring of production.

I’ve had Thermos, Kambukka and neither hold a candles to modern Stanley in robustness.

Saw someone on reddit or a FB post that 3D printed their own stronger hinges for this exact kind of cooler. Definitely an option worth looking into, they looked really durable in comparison.

Costco had these a couple years back, was very tempted. Ultimately - the most important is washable covers, that allows you to keep the couch nice for much longer.

My dad has the same one as your second from the right. Takes it camping all the time and works perfectly.

Right!? They have way more plastic too. Plastic isn’t bad when used correctly but it’s usually an indicator of cutting costs. My guess is people weren’t a fan and they had to pivot back to the classic.

I have this same pack from the same year, and it has been everywhere with me. It's still in good condition, except a new cat moved into my house recently and peed on it. I can't get it out and feel like a part of me died a tragic death.

Really wish Rubbermaid still made the glass style you linked. We have a big set of them and they are very durable.

I love these! Got one when I started college in 2011, and then used it to travel overseas with for 3 years, and now it’s my go to bag still for everyday hauling of stuff I need or going to the gym. Still looks great aside from a side pocket that’s stretched out a bit from a water bottle.

It only recently occurred to me that this is a BIFL item. I just assumed all backpacks should last this long, which is why I’ve been so upset that my kids go through so many backpacks every school year. I just though they were rough on them. I guess I’ll be buying these moving forward for them and seeing how that goes.
