New backpack/bag/etc. for school
 

Any recommendations?
I want something that looks good, doesn't have to be a backpack, I saw a bowling bag style fred perry bag that i liked at plenty, but where else do they have some nice men's bags?

Decent size and under $150 preferably

Even though they're backpacks, Dakine ones are pretty nice, and can take a beating while holding a lot since most are hiker/skater bags. Most go for around 65-100 bucks. I'd get one, but I've already got a reliable one that's lasted me a few years now.

However, after looking over the Fred Perry website, I'm not sure if it's your kind of taste.

My friend just got one at Lacoste, we saw the ones at Plenty... and felt that the Lacoste one was worth it + looked way better. It was 125$ without tax and it was the last one at Lacoste Downtown but there was the same one at that shoe store on robson...

I like "The North Face" packs. They're pretty rugged and the designs are decent. You can find a wide variety of packs at ECO Outdoor Sports beside Futureshop in downtown.

I don't think i really want a utilitarian backpack though, LOL I don't care about practicality that much (note the Z31 2 seater...)
The design/style is more important, I mean as long as it doesn't use shitty straps that tear after 6 months i'm fine, The quiksilver backpack i've been using for a while looks like the day i bought it, but don't really like it cause it's really LB

i just bought a Logitec Kinetic backpack.....

kinda looking to sell it. Pm me if anyones interested :P

i just picked up a lululemon backpack.. well i didn't pick it up.. my fiance got it for me.. =D

i have a northface 'bandwidth' backpack. basically it looks somewhat like a recon but it has a laptop sleeve with a hard foam back. i think i paid like 75 for it at the northface off granville, it was on sale.

I have a nice new Hurley all black backpack for sale if you are interested. Otherwise I saw a Ben Sherman bag shoulder bag at winners on marine and byrne road

I have a north face recon, very useful if you have a lot of stuff to carry, has a laptop slot, good shoulder support too

i vote for north face in general, they make good stuff

I got a Dakine backpack two weeks ago or so. The one before this was similar and lasted me about 4 years I think. Great quality.

It broke cause I carried it by the zippers full a couple times haha.

I'm looking to either a Dakine or North Face since both brands have good bags in my price range (50-80 bucks). Anyone know any good stores to find them besides common stores like West 49, Sport Chek/Coast Mountain etc.?

i am using my lululemon backpack for about 3 years and it's been very comfortable.

i want to get this though:

iono where to get it locally though. i missed the bbc store when i was in tokyo 2 weeks ago

^
you can get bbc clothes in gastown..
but i'm not sure about backpacks.
but i know for sure that livestock or something sells bbc clothes :)

I like this bag

has a kind of ruggid look to it.. (looks better in real life i dont like how the picture looks =P)

lululemon back packs are ridiculous
so many pockets, it needs a legend
i don't have one, just used to work there

The Kensington contour backpack seems pretty good for $30 at BestBuy. I think i might check it out tomorrow.

Anyone selling a Dakine bag?

I have this bag

Its still brand new if anyone wants it, I 'll let it go for $50.

I've got too many side bags already...

What do you plan on carrying in the bag? Lots of books/laptop/binders/clipboard etc?

In my final year of SFU, I grabbed me a nice Filson bag while I was in Seattle because it only needed to carry one book and one binder.

This is a very durable long lasting bag...I continue to use it to this day. I love the construction and I'm confident it will last me at least 5 years of continous use.

binders at least + a textbook I guess, Looked at the north face backpacks and they aren't stylish enough LOLOL, I really don't need that durable a bag anyways
