Does anyone know where I can get a nice backpack for around 50$ or under?
I have a messenger bag from billabong but that one hurts my back plus its too small so im trying to look for something nice but durable.

thanks!

Dakin bags are very popluar and are known to be good. some are around 30 and up.

where are they sold?

sportchek?....got a jansport one...the gel padding is soooo comfy....pricey though..usually 65 and up..though i got mine for 20....last ones..:D

go off the wall.when they have sale on bags n backpacks.its a pretty goo deal.

Maybe try Hilton's at Oakridge.

Some Jansport backpacks are sometimes on sale for under $50. They're nice and comfy too. Check out the sports stores

yeah they do have backpacks there, but it's not very durable or comfortable either..

Thanks so much guy!
ill be sure to check out those places this weekend

also don't get a shoulder bag unless you plan on not carrying a lot with you. All that weight on one shoulder won't do you any good.
