Just like with anything else, the better care you take of your mesh backpack, the longer it lasts. The stitching is usually the first feature that shows the signs of wear and tear, which is why it’s essential to check it from time to time. Other than that, the overall state of the mesh backpack will remain intact for at least a year of the everyday use or a few years of not-that-frequent use. Be sure to retire or repair your mesh backpack as soon as you start seeing considerable damage in the form of rips so that none of your belongings get lost along the way.
