Ogio backpacks are nice.

These Leed's brand backpacks are pretty crappy. It's all about the corporate branding. If they give you anything for free, it needs to have the company logo on it, so you can be a walking billboard as you walk around.

If there’s not the logo it’s taxable.

Leave it to the IRS to f*ck things up.

A LOT of companies got rid of benefits such as tuition reimbursement and other small perks because now it's taxable and they don't want to track it.

My wife was the treasurer of my kids' PTA. They used to give the teachers a $100 staples gift card in August to let them buy supplies for themselves. They had to stop doing that because that was taxable income to the IRS.

I have a few other examples of the IRS getting rid of corporate perks by making them taxable.

I’ve dumpster dove to save a well used but perfectly functional OGIO with no regrets whatsoever. It’s used daily.
