I actually didn’t realise they are both from the same brand. I had this realisation that this coat and bag are my most used and lasting items. When I went to post this I realised they were the same brand!

The backpack has survived use on every form of transport you can imagine, being thrown around on the floor and carrying way more weight / size than you could expect it to.

I live in England so the jacket has survived a lot of rain but also, being folded / scrunched up in my backpack in case it rains, which is very often!

Best of all, last year the velcro on one of the cuff straps came off and found out that Berghaus has a repair service (https://www.berghaus.com/repairs.list). I paid for the postage to them (around £2) and two weeks later, they sent it back repaired and ready to go for many years more.
