Need a backpack

Hello all,

So here's the breakdown of my situation. My work requires me to travel around during the day and I want a backpack that can withstand the rigors of day to day travel while holding all my supplies, but also not cause strain to my back.

I usually carry around the following:

1.) A Ipad
2.) Couple of individual folders
3.) External Hard Drive, CDs
4.) Pens, ledger and other misc. supplies

In the future I plan on carrying around a laptop and possibly a small tool kit.

I was looking at the North Face Recon, I remember trying this backpack one time and it felt great on my back even while I was carrying a heavy load. I was wondering thought if there were other options out there. I would like to find something under $80 if possible and if the backpack were rain proof/resistant that would be great also, but it does not have to be a requirement.

Thank you and I look forward to your input.

 

In my experiance with backpacks its best that you go out to the stores and actually find one that you like. Once you find it you could always try to find a better price online, but if I'm at the store I normally just buy once I find the perfect on anyway.

The reason I say to find one that fits you best is everyone is different with taste and how they things feel, either the shoulder padding, padding on the back and so forth. I mean I own four bags for my photo gear and still need another one. Not one bag fits all styles.

 

Hi, can anyone help me to look a backpack made of ballistic nylon in the range of $90 to $100 USD and that fits a Samsung Series 7 Gamer 17" laptop?

I like the looks of the Slappa M.A.S.K. but escapes of my budget.

Any advice? Thanks!
