A lot of us are either in college/uni or HS and summer break ends in a month. Let's get a backpack thread going so we can show up to school looking dop af

Any decent bags with a laptop sleeve?
>>8597256
bump pls
>>8597256
just get a sleeve for your laptop. fucking kid probably wants an incase rollie bacpack.
>>8597256
Herschel backpacks have a laptop sleeve
how is this?
It's like a slightly more compact Goruck that still has enough room for a tablet. And unlike Herschels and Fjallravens these bags are durable as hell.
no one here fucks with tech packs?
thinking of getting pic related
Any suggestions for <$150?
>>8597550
Is that the RUSH 24? While I'm primarily using the pack here >>8597546 at the moment, I've used a Multicam RUSH 24 to carry stuff around for the past 3-4 years. It's a nice pack, plenty of room, MOLLE webbing and reinforced at all the crucial stress points.
That being said, the eyelets at the drainage grommets fell out of my pack about a year ago, and the mesh used for the organizer pockets are slightly less robust than what you'd find in the higher end packs. I'd suggest looking at J-TECH, which offers packs at around that price range.
sk8 or die kids
>>8597594
The RUSH 24 is a pretty big pack for that purpose; I can just about fit an 17" laptop in the main compartment. That's one of the reasons why I stopped using it as an EDC pack. It gets too bulky and heavy to carry around all day.

>>8597616
thanks for the help. I'm actually really liking this JTECH assault pack
>>8597631
forgot image
got this from just porter
im looking to cop a green backpack.
shade of green doesn't matter. im a newfag to /fa/ so please rec me something.
thanks
>>8597631
No problem.
Another option to consider at that price range is Tactical Tailor:
http://www.tacticaltailor.com/removableoperatorpack.aspx
While I have no personal experience with their packs, I've only heard good things about their offerings and customer service.
>>8597660
It's good to know they get positive feedback. I've actually been considering their urban operator. I'll keep looking.
I would get this Brooks pack if only it weren't so expensive.
Did I fuck up?
>>8597671
Also, check out Pantac:
http://store.pantacusa.com/packs/assault-lrp-backpack.html
I've had their large utility pouch for a while and it's pretty well constructed: 1050D Cordura coated with Teflon, braided paracord zipper pulls, heavy-duty mesh and thumb buttons (better than velcro imo).
And SOE gear. They probably won't have the sort of packs you're looking for, but still worth checking out.
>>8597726
Yes.
I think the blue+brown looks nasty.
The black one is overplayed.
I would have bought the green one
>>8597726
>he didnt get the black version
>>8597116
w2c
>>8597789
The green brown looks like throw up...
Are these too played out now?
If so, any 300~ usd alternatives?
>>8597726
should be fine when you and your 12 year old buddies are shopping at pac sun
>>8597111
isn't that the point?
>>8598162
go look at the other two backpack threads this one it shit
>>8597043
>buy a jansport
>rip off fuck ugly tag
>DIY a patch where tag used to be
> :+)
>>8598382
but the tag adds so much street cred
shoulda jjst added a patch
IISE daypack is what I use.
>>8598610
well if its a vintage one yes
Should I cop
http://www.jackthreads.com/the-british-belt-company/bags/backpack/michael-backpack/products/147156
Just copped this for my second year at Uni;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005XJUM7O/ref=twister_B0018M67GU
>>8600287
get it if your budget doesn't allow you to go kelty cycle hiker (around 60 to 90 buckaroos, less if on sale). that michael backpack looks good but will probably fall apart around winter
>>8597921
I bought it from ebay for like 180.
Also I haven't seen anybody with it yet. Pretty expensive for plebs I think.
>>8597111
cant unsee now

thoughts?
Thoughts on this?
I want a minimalist backpack with lots of space? What manufacturers should I look into? Is it really just Jansport and Herschel?
>>8597921
Way too expensive for that
>>8600575
didn't you have your very own thread yesterday?
>>8600575
welcome to /fa/ hope u enjoy you're stay
>>8597075
Shit, they never did any kind of repro of that, did they?
>>8600581
Also very interested
>>8600581
everyone is copping these for $25 right now
http://www.jackthreads.com/the-british-belt-company/bags/backpack/michael-backpack/products/147156
>>8600696
and topo
and poler
but not JS and def not herschel
is this acceptable?
>>8600620
nope
I've just rescued this thread.
>>8600730
Just bought the black one from Amazon, I had a grey one for about 7 years before I lost it camping, fucking thing was invincible
>>8600502
Yah, I was going to pick it up from that same seller. I live in an exceptionally rural area, so I can't gauge how much I'm falling into/out of trends. Good to know I'm still early and not co-opting a style after its time.
>>8597069
whats the name of this one?
>>8597067
w2c
>>8600917
Just go on their website and look for the heritage collection. Is internet that hard ?
What's wrong with Herschel exactly? And besides them an Jansport, what other brands should I look at for stuff below 100$?
debranded this cheap nike backpack
>>8597642
that zipper looks like a clit
>>8600962
Why do you think they're so great
>>8600659
no but theyre p easy to find on ebay etc
>>8601014
I don't think they're great, but I've been looking at them cause I need a new backpack and some of their designs seem nice.
>>8601021
the designs arent bad but are near total regurgitations of existing designs and quality is shit
also herschel is worn by white middle schoolers and is easily identifiable
>>8600842
wear what u want u dumb hick
>>8601028
you sound poor and bitter
>>8601028
Okay, then what else is there besides Jansport?
http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/equipment-backpacks-filter-category-men-39-s-backpacks/jester-ii.html?variationId=N2X&variationName=MILITARY%20GREEN%20WOODLAND%20PRINT%20/%20TNF%20BLACK thoughts on this? kind of hard to go wrong i think
>>8601028
Can you recommend a better backpack with a laptop compartment?
Cock or not?
>>8601311
which herschel were u looking at
also imo laptop compartments are overrated
>>8601319
How exactly? Carrying three gigantic books resting against my laptop? No fucking way.
>>8601319
How exactly? Carrying three gigantic books resting against my laptop doesn't sound like a good idea.
For the herschel, the popquiz bag,
>>8601314
pls no one cop herschel
>>8597057
qt grills only
the design is so unsuitable for a guy
>>8601314
pls everyone cop herschel
>>8601354
I'm a guy with a Kanken and had a few compliments.
I plan on ordering one of those Swiss Engineer Rucksacks. Rubberized, so rain proof. Leather straps and bottom. Out of stock about $20-30. Cheapest in stock was 44. Can be used for pretty much anything, from the street to the woods.
>sorry no pic
>>8601375
it may work for some but for most guys i cannot fucks with it
>>8600970
I was just about to post that exact image and message
anyway that's my bag, good value
>>8601354
why?
Got this today, opinions?
>>8597043
what is this backpack called
>>8601508
jansport
>>8601489
take off that patch
>>8601521
dis
>>8601489
>superdry
were you intending to use it as a trash can?
>>8601453
>>8601551
it might as well say walmart you plen
>>8601573
k then
>>8601339
idk man i carry my laptop around in my bag
lol pop quiz is one of the most generic backpack shapes around
>>8597043
>>8598530
>>8600312
>>8600730
>>8600816
>>8600970
idk if any of those have laptop sleeves but u can check urself
or just cop a herschel idk who cares if some dumb nerds think ur look like a dumb nerd
10/10 backpack.
Lasts ages and holds loads
>>8601489
it looks nice, ignore the other anons
>>8601635
ya i guess if i were that gay i wuld need a backpack for muh loads
what should I look for when buying backpacks? are there any buying guides/infrographs (sticky doesn't say much on backpacks)
>>8601489
Looks cool bro
>>8601701
Unless you do some crazy over the top shit like floral pattern or crazy colors, no one is really going to care what backpack you use. When you see a backpack and think "Hey, that looks pretty cool!" then that is the correct backpack to buy.
looking to upgrade from my herschel lil amurica, needs to be around the same size or at least fit my stupid giant laptop. still wanna stay in the vein of 'heritage' backpack but also dont wanna sell my first born to fund it- does such a backpack exist? thoughts on the cotton canvas herschel range?
Thinking about coping this, any opinions?
>>8597129
Underrated post
>>8597689
>that feel I feel everytime I shop
Get to my level.
>>8601314
It honestly looks terrible and I don't really dislike the brand.
How spacious are the Herschel Heritage bags? Will I be able to fit textbooks and shit in them?
recently copped
>>8602160
yes you will
>>8601314
dnc! Everyone at my uni has one, they all look awful
>not having an eastpak
>>8597043
I like my bag, though it is a tad small
>>8602326
how much did you cop it for
>>8602332
I got it off a friend for $85, normally they're like $150
>>8600567
this looks good. quality?
>>8597546
Fjallräven are the most durable small backpack i know of. I know people who have had theirs for 10+ years.
c-can messenger fags hang out here? i have this in black but i dont use the shoulder strap
>>8602786
pretty neat bag. sa long as you don't use the strap you can be here/
>>8601181
Haerfest
opinions?
I use the generic Jansport black backpack
>>8602939
w2c?
>>8602945
mah nigga.
I removed the jansport patch, and I think it looks way better.
>>8602939
cop
>>8601025
Lol yes it is heritage you half wit
cop?
>>8603040
or this color?
Anyone know of any brands similar to Cote et Ciel, Haerfest, Makr, Mismo, etc?
>>8603092
bump for wealthiness
>>8600932
https://www.everlane.com/collections/mens-backpacks
Lots of colors sold out but they restock on the 15th.
>>8603040
Def get black if you cop. Looks pretty big for just a college bag but I like it otherwise.
>>8603018
ok
which one
bc its not kegger
For techy things.
Got this for free with a sunglasses order. i use it
>>8603284
this wouldn't be too bad without the giant branding, still alright though.
ive had this bad boy for the past couple of years. it has floral print on the inside which really appeals to me, because not only do i love flowers but i love being a pansy as well
>>8597726
not really, but take the logo off with a seamripper and expect it to fall apart in six months
>Not a single saltyfag in sight
Feels good, fuck Ireland
thoughts?
>>8601314
I have it in blue, I get complements on it CONSANTLY. It's probably my second most complemented piece.
I've only ever seen one other person with a grey one at my uni.
I think it's fine.
I've had it for about nine months and it's held up well. I don't know what fa talks about with quality issues.
Cop.
I wish I got it in all black though, oh well, it was a gift.
>>8603628
cop it
>>8602973
pic?
cop?
>>8597043
I'm thinking of getting a Sully Wong bag for Uni. (pic related) Does anyone has experience with them?
I know effay hates Hershel, but hear me out on this one
y/n?
>>8604009
And if I were to get a Sully Wong bag, should I get this backpack or the one in the picture I'm replying to?
>>8604017
no, at least not that model.
>gold zipper
>>8597043
>bitches don't know about my Ann D
>>8604017
Whats wrong with hershel, they make nice looking backpacks, better than all the ugly shit everyone else is posting.

2 pleb 4 u?
>>8604033
a lot of the people on this board think that they're played out or high school tier
>>8604033
quality is iffy on some of their products and they are very, very popular.
besides that though they are pretty good. just remove the patch, though.
>master race
Backpacks look stupid on anyone so it doesnt matter what it looks like. Instant childish look. Seriously have you ever heard " hey man sweet backpack, wow it has three compartments? So jelly"
>>8604042
It's not only that, they are pretty shitty as well construction wise.
I think they look pretty cool, play out to hell, but look good.
Being played out + bad construction when there are just so many better brands out there is why /fa/ does not approve
>>8604048
is this same brand/backpack ?
>>8604050
I get a shitload of compliments on my pack from both sexes. Wish I was lying to you.
>>8604066
and what pack we talkin bout here
>>8604026
that's brass friend, and it's dope
>>8604066
Please show pic, and i will bow down on both knees and beg for your forgiveness.
>>8604048
>>8604028
only good ones in thread
>>8600696
So which of the Kelty backpacks are we supposed to be copping? They're all ugly or actual hiking gear.
>>8603506
I'm thinking about de-badging but i am just going to wait a bit.
>>8597057
Just cop'd. Thanks Amazon Prime. Should be here tomorrow. Will post pic.
mmm
>>8604161
its just way too big man
>>8604200
raf designed them for big guys. not for you.
>>8604234
But it looked big even on you in that picture you posted.
I'm not hating on it, and I know you must of really wanted it if you shelled out $5k for them, but I was merely pointing out it is pretty large.
>>8604234
>big guys
Jpg.meme
Might as well get that out of the way
Already sold out
Cop this shit?
>>8603901
yes, im coping this one
>>8604257
for you...
you guys forgot about this one
>>8604328
w2c
>>8597043
cop or not?
Do you have to be a bike courier to pull this off? So sick.
>>8601354
Autism.
>>8604641
nope.
I'd get the suede one though, in that colorway it does kinda seem like a courier pack
>>8597057
I like these, but are they too heavy/large for day-to-day use?
>>8604720
have you ever seen one IRL? They actually kinda small and boxy.
never really saw the appeal in these, you see a shit load of them in London
>>8604720
I see many of them here in Cologne, although mostly grills carry them. They're really small, I think they were actually made for children in the first place. Won't look good if you're not a rather petite girl.
I got this off grailed for $40 and stuck a few vintage pins on it
Thoughts?
>>8604641
No, I have one of them, and I'm just a normal student. Just buy them in the darker grey version, then they look just like a techy backpack.
They're pretty expensive, but mine has been holding up for a few years now. Quality!
>>8604762
Also it doesn't really look so square irl, only if you stuff it with clothing or something
>>8600312
Been having mine for two years,wore it everyday,really durable,but it feels overplayed and everyone has these where I live
>>8604771
thanks, mate. I'll start saving up for one, they really seem worth it.
>>8604048
Vis?
>>8597067
Anyone who has this, how do laptops fit in the pouch? Would a 15 inch macbook fit comfortably or stick out?
>>8604760
>Won't look good if you're not a rather petite girl.
lmao
>>8597057
Oh god no. Here everyone has one.
Couple of years ago only the /fa/ people had these, but now. Now every fucking one has this cancerbag. The guy who wears a tapout t-shirt and the 30yr old single mother who has no sense of fashion.
>>8604872
fashion isn't about wearing things nobody else wears
fashion is making it look better than everyone else
>>8601913
Great fucking bag, I got the 20 liter one and I love it. Shilling these Gorucks til I die.
Disregard the flag patch, gonna cop one of those black reflective patches from varusteleka.
>>8604872
I'm yet to see one where I live. Most people here that need a bag have either a Jansport or one of those cheap nylon bags with cords as straps. Such is life in central Florida where people care more about Jordans.
>>8604944
Those look so fucking sick, and I totally dig the focus on functionality, but I can't get over the retarded MURICAFUCKYEA marketing.
>>8603602
ive had mine since 2012 :l and now its memey to have a hershel backpack
>>8604814
Good luck, man. You won't regret it!
>>8605012
Shit was made by an ex-spec op and directed towards anyone from cops to range queens, kind of predictable if you ask me.
I can get behind the idea though though. Local production keeps the shipping low(ish) and the whole lifetime warranty is great.
Are these acceptable if you aren't going for full tacticool techwear?
Really like them and have een thinking of getting the 12 one
>>8597057
Acceptable if you aren't in Nordic countries, where basically fucking everyone from 7 year old school kids to grandmas are rocking one.
Probably popular in some Asian countries as well I'd guess.
>>8597546
>unlike Fjallravens these bags
Where did you get this info?
That's the one great thing about Fjällräven, it's very affordable brand and their products last forever.
>>8604944
can it be seam ripped?
Everybody calm down
alright people
>>8605231
lmoa this cannot be real
look like chebacca nutsack
Help me fa
>>8605277
they both look fucking dumb
>>8604200
manlet
>>8605231
>>8604944
Should I cop the Echo or SD15? Not interested in their tacticool bullshit so I'm leaning towards the SD15
>>8601314
I copped blue one first year they got out,
Then this "vintage retro" shit went viral and I started to feel like a faggot candyass for wearing that.
Anyway, It tore apart within a year, quality is awful.
Maybe if you are 18, go for it, you will be cool up until 20
Im 23 now and I just use black northface big shot2, no complains
>>8598530
>tfw shipping to australia is as much as the bag
>>8604231
w2c??
>>8605077
It's velcro
>>8605598
Nice. But does that mean the upper half of the bag is made out of the 'furry' side of velcro? That'd be kinda weird
>>8605607
it's probably just a velcro patch that you can slap other velcro patches onto so yes you can probably seam rip it if you don't want it on there
>>8597067
gorilla face backpack
>>8597921
Got mine for 60gbp on ebay, wouldn't say they're that amazing, and actually pretty annoying. if you're gonna be opening it up 20 times a day, don't bother.
>tfw not filthy rich
Cop or not? (in all-black, not light grey)
found this while rummaging through some stuff. thoughts?
look what i've got /fa
http://www.lyst.com/shop/mens-backpacks/
I'm poor so I'm about to cop this.
I aspire to one day make enough money to eventually buy Givenchy and Raf backpacks like the richfags.
>tfw got this piece of shit
at least this thread has plenty of inspo, thanks guys
get on my level you plebs
JUST CAME IN
