18M, entering uni soon and looking to replace the Osprey kids’ pack that I’ve been using for the past 9 years.

I’d like a backpack that’s able to carry a 14 inch laptop, a textbook or two, a jacket, an umbrella, a water bottle… A laptop pocket and side pouches for water bottles are preferable but not a must.

Budget approx. 500-700 HKD (64-90 USD). Looking into getting a Jansport Right Pack (with the reinforced bottom), but I’d like to hear your recommendations.

    I’m a big fan of Timbuktu bags, especially the messenger bags. Many bags have lifetime warranties. I have had two for over a decade now and still holding up.

      I’ve had a Timbuktu backpack since 2006, still going strong. Took it to a dry cleaner once when it got dirty. Only sign of wear is the rubber on the bottom is splitting in a couple spots but that’s just there for waterproofing, the fabric underneath is fine.

      Mine has a dedicated laptop pocket, it’s great.
