Back To School Backpack

I'm headed back, Haven't owned a backpack in a long time.

I might as well get a pack that will last, and 1000D is the way to go.

ATM I have my eyes on a MAXPEDITION Falcon-II, but I'm not sure it'll hold more than one binder.

Any recommendations?

I always liked TAD but at $250-300 for a backpack it's a little steep for me (especially only being a student). But that said the quality on them are amazing, I just wish I had the money to buy one.

Although my current swissgear backpack has held up for me since high school and it's been a good 7 years with that and also doubles as a daypack for me so it's been in some pretty crazy conditions like medium intensity dayhikes and freezing cold of Manning park and to and from school and work.

I'm looking for something to hold 2 binders and a book or two, plus other little pockets.

Ideally it would have webbing on it and be millitary looking. Multiple pockets and some comfy straps. I like the Navy blue/FG or Emergency Red.

I'm looking for a bigger assault pack(12"W), but it seems the next size up for most manufacturers are rucks(14"W and like 2X the depth I need).

The voodoo lvl3 is a step in the right direction, but not quite wide enough.

What Skeletor said. If you don't want a military style bag, North Face or MEC are good bags. I have the Recon model from North Face, been using it for 4+ years. It's been through rain, snow, dirt, mud, bbq sauce. Best purchase ever.

uh edit - guess you are looking for a military style bag but do take a look at other bags, they might spark your interest.

I've been rocking a condor sling pack for a few years and love it. Holds quite a bit, lot's of organizational pockets and can take a beating. Took it to Europe and throughout Iceland a few times and it still is in really good condition.

My first Swiss Gear lasted about 4 years. I was quite pleased with it, so I got another one, which failed on me within 2 months.

I'd personally go with something at MEC or other.... just not an ultralight variant. I do like tacticool stuff, but at school.... a bit less. They're not really designed to hold pencils, some papers, binders, etc...

Except maybe some of the smaller Kelty ones with their admin pockets, might be a good choice.

Those I was talking about:
Smaller: http://www.amronintl.com/kelty-pereg...-backpack.html
Medium: http://www.amronintl.com/kelty-map-3...ault-pack.html

But the TAD is indeed awesome, it's just a bit costly.

There's one FS in the classifieds
http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=142662

Also airsoft park has a much cheaper knockoff

Personally you might consider not being overtly tactical in public. All these protests, pepper spraying campus police. A bag of evil may bring you unwanted attention should things go south. Grey man ftw.

In such case, north face, mec and deuter are great. I've also used a Swiss army or Swiss gear whatever laptop backpack for years and it is holding up well. All my heavier duty mec packs are also amazing.
