No one cares how your backpack looks. That said, just get a jansport or ll bean and be done with it. It's a school backpack literally anything will work

anyone have any suggestions for something like cocoon packs, but translated to pockets instead of straps? i need a bag that has good compartmentalization, but i don't like the general style of the cocoon bag itself. also, cocoon is a bit expensive for me since i already have a dedicated /out/ bag for when i go hiking and camping.

the reason i need good organisation is my part time job is IT and maintenance stuff at my university. i am, in sorts, on call for many hours at a time, so i carry my schoolwork and laptop around as well as a multitool, a socket set, music gear for jogging, and a rainjacket basically all the time. i broke a mouse the other day and decided that i need an upgrade in size, strength, and organization. my current bag is a noname bag i got at a goodwill

all that said, i've been checking out the timbuk2 rogue. however, i don't know if i am paying for the 'style' or if the quality warrants the price. i like the idea of a floptop so i can get going quickly, but the one compartment style is what led me to break my mouse, not to mention pencils every day. i've also looked at targus a lot but with how cheap they are i have doubts about durability

That guy's backpack is really cool

No offense, but you're kind of retarded if you spend more than $100 on a backpack. I have the Patagonia Yerba 24L and it's great. They also make it in a fancy turquoise but it was sold out.

Got a jansport because I saw one that was really cool, faggot. Now I'm cool too

as i mentioned, $80 (timbuk2 rogue)is already pushing it for me. thanks for the suggestion though
>>828120

dude, i suggested a discussion about different types of backpacks and their application for outdoor urban use, which entails durability, weatherproof materials, and ease of access weighed against stability. have a pleasant discussion thay doesn't rely on reactionary retorts for once in your life.

>>828112
Eastpack: $50 and superior to most of that shit.

>>828157
Backpacks are not specific to urban, desert or mountain, unless you are a camofag.
Any backpack will survive decades of rough use anyway.
Being waterproof is not a priority if you stay innatown.
One day packs ARE light and stables. All of them.

My dad recently gave me his old bag that he used in the 80s and I've been fixing it up. I want to get a rain cover for it but I haven't been able to find any information about the size, any ideas?
It's from Caribou Mountineering

>>828229
>rain cover
just get some tarp

>>828236
Well it's going to be taking quite a bit of abuse when winter comes around and hunting season starts, what i'm really looking for is a snow cover, something that conforms around it better than a tarp

>>828129
Have this pack. comfortable enough.
>>828150
Just put them on and check which is the most comfortable for you. If they have the same comfort level then go by price.

Quasar may be too big for you, I would have gotten a smaller one but I also use it for day hikes.

>>828112
I could build an upper-tier PC for the price I could pay for some fabrics stitched together with some pockets. What the actual fuck.

>tfw use a gregory zulu 30 for everything from overnights to 2+ week expeditions

It even came with a rain cover, best 120 bucks I ever spent. Just gotta learn to pack light

Just bought the Osprey atmos AG 65, looks pretty good and is comfortable, is it enough for a couple of months trip say to india nepal and SEA? i might camp in some of those places i haven't done my research yet extensively, or should i try to change it for the xenith 75/88?

>>828736
depends on the rest of your gear.
Pack as if you're going and see if it fits.

Why do I have to spell this out to people?

>>828112
City pack: burton shredscout
Riding/skating pack: an older shredscout
Day hike pack: some rei 15L
Camping pack: tnf banchee
Work bag: some leather briefcase an old lawyer at my office passed on to me. It's really fucking nice.


I recommend any of these. If it's for school the shredscout had a laptop slot, cooler pack, tons of space, and a built in rainfly

>>828115
I have a Spire and it is my favourite backpack.

>>828829
I know it depends on my fit, but generally talking, i'm neither a heavy packer nor an ultralight packer, and i haven't acquired some of the stuff that i'm gonna pack in the bag yet, i have a 40L bag as well, so i felt that it isn't justifiable to buy another bag for an added 25L only.

>retarded if you spend more than $100 on a backpack

>>828122
Yeah, this. DESU, if you don't mind getting something a little older, you can pretty easily get pretty nice backpacks slightly used (or sometimes unused too) for under $100. I got an unused Kelty Yukon for under $40 on ebay

>>828122
>you're kind of retarded if you spend more than $100 on a backpack

You're an absolute piece of shit. And thats coming from a guy who has never spent more than $40 on a pack.

>>828129
I have one. I use it for my everyday backpack and on short day trips. Lots of pockets so you don't lose small things. If you can get it for a good price go for it.

>>828229
Any mid size backpack rain cover should do fine. Generic ones are a few dollars online.

What's the consensus on mil-tec assault packs? I'm looking for something in that kind of size range for a pretty minimalist overnight/weekender kit, basically just a sleeping bag, mat, bivvy (and then the obvious cookset, stove, toiletries, spare socks, and the usual suspects)

It's really cheap (almost too cheap at £25-30, building my camping shit from scratch and don't have any money), and most reviews say it's excellent, but there's a couple of negative ones claiming the stitching comes away, colours run in the first rain, etc.

Otherwise, any alternatives in that size range that are affordable and durable?

Pic unrelated.

The first one looks like a waste of money.

The second one? Kathmandu is a shitty company that makes overpriced shit, for that much you could get
http://m.torpedo7.co.nz/products/DJBGVN4A6/title/osprey-aether-60-pack?sitePreference=mobile
http://www.bivouac.co.nz/gear/camping-and-tramping/packs/osprey-mens-kestrel-68.html
Or you could wait for a sale at Bivouac (good folks there who actually go /out/) and get the Aether or the Atmos 65 from them. Osprey warranty is godtier and the packs are light and well made.

You've also got Macpac with some of their packs but I cannot attest to their quality or warranty, I'm also hesitant to recommend them when they tried to argue with me about a pair of Superfeet insoles and their 60 day warranty even though it was 2 days and I had tried them on ONCE, with no signs of wear.

The Urban Prepper EDC v3.0 pack is awesome for EDC/tools/compartments, if a bit pricey at $120. I forget the name of the actual pack though. Search for the video on JooTube. I really like his use of subdividing things into modules as well. And the color coding will appeal to your autism.

Man, it was easier being younger when all you cared about was the color.

All I need is a durable backpack for college, but there are a billion different options that all look pretty quality.

Should I just get a random LL bean backpack and not sweat it, or is there a list I should take a look at, or what?

I was considering this quadpack...

Have you never heard of Undercover? It's a designer bag made in Japan, while it certainly didn't cost all $875 to make the bag it did cost a lot to design the bag and manufacture it with quality materials.

Guys I'm heading back to school and I need a tactical ergonomic assault pack to navigate the urban wasteland.

Requirements
>urban multicam for stealth (most architecture in my area is sandstone or limestone)
>quick access laptop compartment (I plan to do a lot of hacking and network infiltration missions)
>water-proof compartments (to prevent condensation from Mountain Dew cans getting on my Nintendo DS)
>No excess straps or cords (increases drag when sprinting, pic related)

I'm buying a butterfly knife for self-defense this month. Is it possible to line to pockets with tin-foil to prevent metal detectors from seeing it?

Don't buy it, I once bought a m65 military jacket from mil-tec and after wearing it for 2 weeks a lot of the stitching started to come loose, after 3 weeks the cotton lining detached itself completely from the jacket. The outer fabric itself also rips super easy although it is quiet thick. In total i wore it maybe 30 days, of which maybe 8 days rough use, but i had to throw it away cause it was beyond repair already. Even the thin material of a cheap ALDI or chinese import single wall tent is stronger than the thick polly cotton on that jacket. It's almost as if they would not just buy materials from the lowest bidder, but deliberately went out of their way to find the least durable materials out there.

Fuck that brand really

I say go with any timbuk2 model great bags with limited customization, that are made in America, and have a lifetime warranty.

>>839940
yeah buddy, you definitely could. I would definitely make use of the bottom straps to hold rolled up rain gear/tarp/sleeping pad whatever can fit. If you were careful with what food you packed you maybe could eek out more than an overnighter.

You're more than likely going to catch flak from gear-queers on this forum telling you your pack is tacti-cool or that because it isn't ideal for your exact purposes you're going to suffer and have a horrible time. But that's /out/ for ya.

I of course am saying that you could use this pack so long as you're intending to do pretty normal hiking (no mountaineering or what have you) and that you won't be going out in the dead of winter. One of my favorite mid-summer light weight and compact sleeping blankets is the USGI poncho liner- I've used it in similar setups to what you're trying to do.

Best of luck homie. Be sure to take and post pics if you do it.

My brother was an exchange student in Germany a couple of years ago. He brought me pic related as a present.

Its a Gebirgsjagers ruck - german army mountain troops. I looked it up and it seems like there are tons of repros out there. But mine is an original one - sturdy as fuck. Has about 35l

Basically its the ideal pack (imho!) for two days of hiking and camping. I really love it. But as stocks seems to dry, I may order myself another one as spare. They are cheap in Naziland.

The only con: it was designed with the strange german sleeping mat in mind. Its not rolled but folded and serves as back padding.

So what I did: I bought a cheap mat at Walmart and cut it down so it fits the compartment. Works like a charm.

Anybody has a mil-tec backpack? Asking because for the time using i've never seen anyone with any signs of those brand.

Abisko 65l, straightforward looking backpack with some great features like the height adjustable and removable compression straps and the molded bottom. Was between this one and the Osprey Atmos AG, my friends dad who works for Fjällräven as agent in my country had this exact model as sample model and I got it for half the price and went with it. Front opening backpacks are the best thing ever.

When I'm hunting I carry 3 packs. 1 backpack and 2 dufflebags. The backpack carries everything until I shoot a deer. Then I unpack the dufflebags & butchering gear, butcher the deer and stuff the meat into the dufflebags to carry home. I can hang the dufflebags on the frame of the backpack when I'm walking. I can kill 2-3 deer and stuff the meat like this before I finally go home for the night or reach the base camp.

Looking for a modern hiking pack with removable daypack. Anything like that exist?

>>841939
Yes

>>828229
If I had to guess I'd say that's somewhere in the 70ish liter range, a generic 60-80 liter rain cover should fit it fine.

>>841261
I'll take a guess at "no." It very well could be, but I paid 10 dollars for it at a Harbor Freight not too long ago and paracord wrapped the handle. Hasn't properly been /out/ yet. If Granfors Bruks is a quality name, I'd be willing to bet what I picked up is not Granfors Bruks.

On a side note: the TSA is a bunch of motherfuckers who stole my last hatchet, a SOG tactical thing I bought at the same Big 5 I bought my bag, even though I explicitly talked to security and they approved it being in my checked luggage. Some asshole got away with a memory piece.

I am actually in the same dilemma as you were, although I can't get anything half price :(

Did you have a chance to test the backpack with multiday hikes/heavier loads? I read on various forums that Fjallravens don't handle heavier loads well, so based on that I am leaning more towards Osprey.

Problem is, in my eastern yuropoor country we don't have reps for these brands so I'll have to order them online without testing them.

Any feedback would be appreciated, ty.

Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to test it over a longer hike with a heavy load. Heaviest I carried was around 18Kg and it didn't feel uncomfortable at all. When I first adjusted the shoulder straps with that velcro it felt kinda sketchy, but once I had it on my back you wouldn't notice any of this.
Just in theory I'd think that the Anti-Gravity carrying system would get too soft and mushy for very heavy loads, but is much more comfortable with regular loads. I am although a very big fan of the front opening lid, wouldn't wanna miss that again on bigger backpacks.
>I read on various forums that Fjallravens don't handle heavier loads well

How does this look for ~40 dolla
35l, canvas, external frame. Could make a decent weekend pack I reckon?

I bought a Kelly redwing 50 (last year's model) recently. I assume it will work for me for small 2-3 day trips (I'm gonna have my sleep system on the outside of the bag). Am I correct? And am I retarded?

>>844696
You are correct, the Redwing is solid all-arounder pack.

>>844679
unless you're literally carrying bricks, you dont need an external frame in a 35L pack. You dont even really need a frame beyond two lightweigth inner supports.

keep an eye our for something less autismal

This is what I usually carry everyday but I forgot to list some books. Overall its not a lot, but I haven't tried carrying more things. I also can put a small folded adult sized poncho inside in case I get caught in the rain. You can adjust the straps so that you can have more space to put things in. But if you need more space then I recommend a jansport backpack thats atleast 32L.

>>838588
Off topic, but does anyone know what jacket this guy is wearing? Also, I used a swiss gear bag for many years, really great bag but after a while the bottom started wearing out and the stitching fell apart in one section. Now I'm using a Direct Action Ghost as just a day bag for small hikes and edc bag for my work shit. I really like it, but I wish it was a little bit bigger.

>you dont need an external frame in a 35L pack
Yeah I don't really *need* it. It's just cheap and simple, no pointless tacticool stuff.

Besides, isn't the LK 35 (external frame, 35L) a popular choice for /out/doors? pic related

>>844748
I spend my summers hiking 20km + a day around mountains while I do research. Theres no way I would ever bother with an external frame as its just unnecessary weight. The frame itself is "pointless tacticool stuff" when its in that size/weight class. Sure if you're going to be putting 25kg worth of stuff in that small pack then it would have a point, but not for everyday use.

I use a 35L Kathmandu Canetoad and when thats not enough for my gear I use a 65L Black Wolf pack. got them for $10 and $40, respectively (thats inflated aussie dollars too). Both bags have lasted years and will probably last years more.

Lighter, better, more appropriate bags can be had for much less.

>>844755
Yep my issue is I currently have no middle ground: a small EDC backpack for the city and then straight up to 65+ for long trips. Nothing intermediate and simple for short trips. Things are inflated here too (south america) and the options very poor.

Alright then, I'll keep searching. Thanks for the input

>>844772
Get it if you want; but at 35L most of the internal frame ones will be significantly lighter (The CaneToad I use is literally just a one conpartment canvas sack with very very minimal frame).

If you want the frame, get it. They do have a nice look (if thats you're aesthetic). but I just go for the best price and weight combination I can find.

It's arguable that a 35L even needs a frame unless you're carrying tools, a lot of water or something else really heavy.

>>842161
I remember reading that.
Considering I took it to Utah, which has next to no running water that I would recommend swimming in, probably not. Though it could be mine after someone else had fun with it.

Gets me everywhere, takes a normal 15" laptop and a bunch of gear on top.
32 liters might be a bit excessive even, but I don't mind the "extra" weight/space since the carrying system itself is bretty gud under any weight, light or heavy.

>>844748
Popular? No. It has its fans, but I wouldn't call it popular. A.L.I.C.E. is probably the most popular milsurp on /out/, but most use retail or new tacticool packs.

TT is dildos. I carried a marmot through the end of undergrad and through grad school, it also served as my weekend camping day pack, and travel pack and has crossed the entirety of the US several times over. I graduated in 08' and it died this year only because my dog got a hold of it. You can pick one up for anywhere from ~$30 to ~$80. Good packs.

>>828298
It's about quality of fabrics, stitching, whether or not it was made in the first world etc. This affects durability and how it ages

A lot of the more expensive ones on this chart are from fashion brands/designers, a lot of time and money goes into picking out proportions, making really fine details, and many times making custom materials for a small batch of items, all of which drive the price up

That $800 pack there is from a Japanese designer, it's not really an outdoor/school bag (though it would clearly fit the bill) it's more for people who make a hobby of fashion and spend a ton of money putting together concept outfits

During summer I think you could make do, but you'd need a really packable shelter and sleeping bag/quilt.

Basically this. All combat essentials were on the webbing, ammo, comms, first aid, knife, etc with everything else in the pack. The old ALICE packs would have two quick detach points on the shoulder straps so if you came under fire, you could drop it in an instant.

The LL Bean Quad is durable enough to handle three years of high school, three of college and every summer in between as my work bag at a summer camp. I've got the earlier version without the webbing on the upper outer pouch, but I doubt much else has changed. It's comfy enough for school commuting usage. Stuffed to the gills, it serves as a bag for a 3-4 day trip and is still carry on size. Not the best shape for extended hiking, but that was never it's intended role. I just wish sophomore me would've chosen the black over the green. Black goes with everything after all!

>>842310
you shouldn't pack it over like 20kg really. I've been using it for like three years now (although it was the first model which is a bit worse). I used it for backpacking in asia for 6 months and then I've been on a couple of week-long hikes. I've over packed it sometimes and it got pretty uncomfortable and I can see some of the sems starting to wear now. Also if you're over 198cm I wouldn't take it

Depends on how much stuff you have and is willing to carry around.
3 day packs are pretty nice for easy on the move, and fast setup. But if you want to set up a camp/base, then a larger pack would be benefitial. But it would be slow to carry, and more stuff = more to worry about.

Is fjallreven actually good? Was looking into getting some hiking gear and their clothing is really cheap here.

I am looking for a daypack for hiking 10-15km trails in the Ardeche (france). I have two jackets from Fjallraven and love the brand and quality so my first thought was to get something made by them. This led me to the Friluft Lappland 35 (pic related) which goes nice with my Fjallraven hunting jacket (boar). It costs 175 euro dollahs, which i find high in comparison to cheaper options but i like the ascetics and the brand. Also i dont mind paying extra for something that will last longer.


After reading this thread there was a lot of butt hurt about the >100$ prices. So i am quite aware that this is a luxery option.

I checked out the 24L Patagonia pack and since i live in the Netherlands the 40 euro price holds true for me. It doesnt really look as comfortable or technically advanced (gimmick, compartments + materials choices)

My questions:
1) If money isnt a main concern, why should i still not buy it?
2) Since i will be doing most hiking during the summer, does the pack ventilate well enough?

>what bag is in pic?

I'm guessing the Savotta LJK.
Reverse image search confirms.

>>857074
a rolltop closure is watertight, dependent on the material of the bag.

Bergans Powerframe vs Norröna Recon.

Any fellow Norwegians with input on which is best?

>>857106
I got a Norrona Recon, bought it on sale from XXL. Really satisfied with it, very comfortable hip belt that moves with the hips, so you don't easily get bruises on your hips from long hikes.
Sturdy back panel, good amount of customization.

Keep in mind it's pretty big tho, 125L.

Haven't tried the other one, saw other forums recommending the Recon, so I bought it, considering the price.

>>857020
So, sleeping bag, pad and tarp on the outside? What are you planning on putting on the inside?

>>857144
Well, i'd jam it inside if it fist.
Food, clothes, gear, mess kit etc. Planing on backpacking and camping for a couple of months

>>857144
Seriously. I put my tent on the outside, or a tarp if I'm using one, but sleeping bag and pad should go on the inside.

If he's using a foam pad, not an inflatable, it'll have to go outside though.

I think you will have plenty of room for tying a few things down if you get creative. It doesn't look particularly sturdy and I would spend more than $30 on something I was using for 'long term hiking'. The last thing you want id your pack falling apart 20 miles in and then have to pay even more $ for something at a brick and mortar outfitter, assuming you lug all your gear there.

I have something similar, the High Sierra Titan 75L. It is bigger than I really need but it can be tightened down when I have less stuff in it and it feels really sturdy. I have had it almost a year now with no issues. There are also more points to attach things to than the Karrimore you posted. It retails for about $125+ but I got mine on sale online for like $60 shipped or something close to that. Pic related, except mine is black. Trailmate has the green.

Current EDC
5.11 sling bag, it's the only thing that hasn't been completely torn apart by throwing it everywhere with my stinkpad in it or had its colors run or fabric fucked up by having xylene, SDS, and TE buffer spilled on it

>Don't buy it, I once bought a m65 military jacket from mil-tec and after wearing it for 2 weeks a lot of the stitching started to come loose, after 3 weeks the cotton lining detached itself completely from the jacket. The outer fabric itself also rips super easy although it is quiet thick. In total i wore it maybe 30 days, of which maybe 8 days rough use, but i had to throw it away cause it was beyond repair already. Even the thin material of a cheap ALDI or chinese import single wall tent is stronger than the thick polly cotton on that jacket. It's almost as if they would not just buy materials from the lowest bidder, but deliberately went out of their way to find the least durable materials out there.

It's not even a brand, its just a german fagot who orders lots of shit from China and sells it under his brand.

This is only acceptable if you are 20 and working for the Joint Chiefs of Staff somehow, which I know you aren't because you can't bring a gun into the Pentagon.

I have it and it's fucking awesome. I use it for work. It stores my laptop, powerbrick, lock and so on. It also stores several notepads, loads of small rubbish and my keycard. I load it up pretty heavily, and it's still one of the most comfortable packs I know of.

I cycle to and fro mwork wearing this pack most days. It's about 35 minutes in each direction. I am still happy with this pack after using it daily for a couple of months.

So got for it, man. It's pretty awesome.

Hey guys, I need a decently cheap ($100 or less? I'm willing to go higher if not possible) backpack to use when me and the wife go camping. I need to be able to carry a smallish 3 person tent, sleeping bag, mat, and other basic camping odds and ends + a little bit of food. I live in the PNW, so water resistance would be a plus but in this price range I know it's a little iffy.

>>856905

Or go with the Osprey Quasar mentioned before.

Though let's be real the MR 3DAP is better... if only because of the water bottle pockets. I hate not having side mounted Nalgene bottles.

Roark 3 day pack

Laptop pouch and big top zipper pocket. Hidden pocket on backside. Got it on discount and pretty OK with it

>>860954
Spend like $30 more and get an Osprey Kestrel somewhere around 40L

>>856263
Make sure it's a decent one. cheapest decent one I've seen is LAPG's 3 day pack. Don't get stuff from more civvie brands like Rothco or Nike. That stuff is more for style than actual use. Nobody with those Nike SB bags even knows what the molle is for "it just looks lit", therefore manufacturer doesn't care to make it too functional anyway.

>>856098
Made in USA. It's one of those cases where you're actually paying more for less features, as if it is a benefit. Gorucks goal is to have a military pack that doesn't look too military and blend in to civvie life. So since there isn't much competition in this area, they can charge like crazy.

>>856883>>857004
The kanken definitely is. It's cringe worthy seeing people stuff shit ton of stuff in those things and see the thin straps dig into their body's. Also cringey when you see guys wear them, or their even smaller purse sized versions. Anyone know how the g1000 material holds up to something like cordura?

Paid $20, in impeccable condition and still has the original manual with it. Got it for a DIY project but might keep it as is, pretty comfy honestly.

My shitty old beat around day pack is kill.

Any day pack suggestions for xc skiing and hiking? What pack, what do you like about it? Thinking about something smaller, around 18L or so. Thoughts?

REI daypacks are decent, Camelbak if you have alot of money. Condor outdoor makes decent bag if you like them a bit more tacticool (pic related is mine).

>>862042
wow your pack makes me diamonds.

Does anyone here own a 5.11 rush 72?
I'm on a budget and cant seem to justify the price tag

I'm 6'7, any good backpacks that fit me? Tired of going to shop after shop and looking like I'm starting grad school

is it just me or does anyone else have a backpack fetish? like you just WANT to collect them and use them all?

You have issues. Maybe see a therapist or something. At the very least, if you hate anime, stay off sites with chan in the name.

I own the friluft 45, not the Lappland (birdhunt version) and I'd tell you not to get the Lappland version because if you're not going hunting you're gonna miss the stuff the regular friluft has, like the big front mesh pocket. The pack is very well ventilated too.

Anyone got recommendations for a relatively inexpensive 60L pack?

>>861414
I got a pretty beat up one for $18 and fixed it up with a couple rivets. It's a neat looking little pack. Haven't added kidney straps to mine, but that's the first thing I'd like to do. Gonna take it out this weekend and see how it does.

>>862577
I own the 24 and wish I had gotten the 72 because it's a tad small to hold all my shit. I don't like hanging my tent and sleeping pad off the bottom with bungee cords

well I seem to be the only one here but I went with a deuter bag after thinking it through earlier in the year. Specifically the Deuter rise pro which is a 34L that extends to about 42L mountaineering pack apparently. Of the kinds I tried I only felt like Mammut and Deuter were really comfortable for me. The Mammuts were pretty basic but the deuter rise series had lots of attachment points and were pretty versatile and well made. I went with the smaller pro because you can open it at the back to get at whatever without totally unloading the thing. Size is a tad small but most of my gear is pretty compact. I'd say it's good for a weekend trip comfortably. It also has that internal rubberized coating which I also liked. Everything about the bags just said to me well made. The rise tour 45+ was also in the running but I got the pro for a decent price. It ended up being a just big enough size though for my needs.

I have a Kelty Eiger 2900 and the girlfriend has a North Face something-or-other, all I know is that it's a 60L. We bought both used for less than 50 bucks total and have been using them for years.

People can spend their money on whatever they like obviously, but I have always found it frivolous to spend what most companies ask for a brand new pack.

oh shit that's my bag, fucking love it. Great for getting around town, used it daily for 2 years and it's fucking bombproof. A little dirty but not frayed at all.

Looking for a 55-65 liter backpack for week-long hikes and such. I've been using a cheap Indian "North Face" pack, but I would like to do my body a favor and get something more supportive.

Stopped by the REI today and their bags were around 200 USD for good quality... Have you guya got any idea where to snag some good deals? Should i just shell out? :/
