Buying a backpack...

[codytappen]

My crappy old backpack has broken down beyond usability and I need a replacement. I need it to carry one text book, one three inch binder, a lunch, a pair ATHM50s, a portable HDD, a 3DS, my wallet, and one day a week a Yeti mic. Anyone have one to recommend (70USD and under)?

A SteelSeries bag, looks so amazing.

I have a Dakine backpack. I would definatley suggest them to anyone. I dont carry laptops around in it. But because its a snowboarding pack it can hold heaps of stuff and is fairly water resistant, possibly proof. Ive been out skating in heavy rain and all the things I had in my bag were dry once I got home.

I use it for everything because I dont have a car. I walk to work with it carrying my lunch and a hoodie if its warm outside, I take it to the grocerys to walk home with my food in it. I skate into the city with it incase I buy something. I take it everywhere.

It cost me 129 NZD at the time, its quite old now. 5 years old. Theres only a few on their site that are in your price range but I got mine from a skate/surf/snow shop. I bet if you looked around you could find an old season model and get it on the cheap.

I think mine is the old version of this. LINK[/url=http://www.amazon.com/Dakine-20-Litre-Heli-Black-5-5-Inch/dp/B006NCQ3KU/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1362526157&sr=1-1&keywords=dakine+heli+pro]

Its a HeliPro. Same color scheme, the front pocket is a little bit different. Mines got a few loops on it running down the middle and my pocket looks smaller.

This one looks boss. I want it. :D http://www.amazon.com/Dakine-20-Litre-Heli-Timber-5-Inch/dp/B006N0R84W/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1362526157&sr=1-2&keywords=dakine+heli+pro'>LINK[/url=http://www.amazon.com/Dakine-20-Litre-Heli-Timber-5-Inch/dp/B006N0R84W/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1362526157&sr=1-2&keywords=dakine+heli+pro]

they have compression straps so you can make them a lot thinner if you dont need the extra space

Assult packs are cool. If you get one with molle on it you can just add more pouches if you need them :D

I was thinking of getting one but cant find one I like.
