I've coveted a bigxtop for climbing/everyday for a long time, price is on point compared to many other options as well.
The simple truth is though that I have a couple of mid 90's Karrimor 30l Hot Earth bags. They're amazingly comfortable, built like trucks and can resist being dropped down and dragged back up cliffs.
I suspect the current offerings(SF excepted) aren't quite as solid but older ones are cheap as chips on ebay and will probably outlast your grandkids.
Not as fancy as a lot of the modern offerings but still worth a look.
