Alongside the essentials like my protective gear, I have spare laces, tools for adjustments, a water bottle, my wallet, phone charger, a shirt - those are the practical staples. But then there's the random stuff that somehow finds its way in there: a snack bar or two, some spare change, maybe a forgotten sock or glove.
Truth be told, I need to get a new backpack. Mine's torn already. Been thinking about a leather one, like the one from
Von Baer. Because it's more durable and it looks great. Skate-wise, is a leather backpack worth it in the long run? Or should I stick to a more traditional nylon option?
