ive had my backpack since like the 7th grade (i know thats kinds sad) and its never given me any problems. but guess if your worried go buy a new one at wal mart for like what 15 bucks. im just to lazy to go buy a new one, that and i really dont care what it looks like as long as it gets the job done.

 

just tug really hard on the straps, if they start to pull apart get a new bag. I have the Oakley 2.0 bag I love it.

 

Great bag, I have one too. I also have the Dainese for days when I don't have to carry as much.
