I haven't had any problems with either my Maxpedition Condor or my Maxpedition Nucleus. (knock on wood)

In any case, Maxpedition has a limited lifetime warranty. If stitches are popping, that should help. Not sure about the Malice clips, though.

I looked at a lot of daypacks before settling on the Condor and it seemed like every other pack felt flimsy and poorly-constructed. Even the big name brands had a cheap feel to the fabric used and the way they were sewn together.
