I got a Bungie backpack when they first came out and over the last several months it has worn till it began ripping.

I didn't carry that much stuff in it other than a few textbooks and a laptop. I have never had a backpack rip this bad, certainly not one that costs $90.00 (which is a lot of money for backpacks I could of paid $20.00 that never would gave ripped). Has anyone else bought one of these and had any problems? I am really curious because I have never had a backpack I bought ever get ripped this badly.

It's an Ogio pack, and they are well-known for decent design and construction. Mine (identical to yours) has been handling my carry and travel (along with being kicked under the airliner seat in front of me) for over a year and other than some scuffs, appears to be holding up to my abuse almost as well as my previous pack (a Wenger). Your images appear to show either a seam failure (due to a snag or internal stress from being heavily loaded/pressured). Perhaps someone with some sewing skills (and the appropriate needles and high-durability thread) could patch it, I don't know. Or, you could try contacting the manufacturer and see if they offer a repair/refurbish service.
