How hard is it to go and find a shop in your local town and find a bag that is suited to what YOU want.

Two buckets, a frisbee, armbands, spades and a pair of goggles should suffice.

No seriously, dress like that, walk in, and get someone to film it.

Sandwiches can be stowed in the buckets, folders and Eee PC can be balanced atop accordingly.

Stylish, functional and affordable.

You'll soon get sick of carrying 3 folders, I gave up carrying them all, all the time within 2 weeks.

I like these though. I have the Black + Gold shoulder one.

Have a look at the backpacks available at chemical records.

I got a well nice Analogue bag from them a few years ago.

Look here:

Got me a Dakine Campus a couple of years back. Love the thing. Very well made.

Jansport gets my vote. Got a Jansport processor laptop backpack that I bought in my first year of uni 6 years ago. Since then it's been all around the world with me (carrying loads of crap usually) and although it's now pretty dirty it's still in great condition.

You will be brutally murdered tomorrow night by a backpack. That is what you get for not looking. >=|

Go to Blacks or else ask your parents to help.

As previously suggested, North Face do some pretty awesome bags, I have this one in red (mind you, I am a bit old for Sixth form now, I use it when visiting mates cos it can take a laptop too).

£60 on a rucksack!?

Why not? Some of the stuff you carry around like books etc are really heavy and you need something quality that won't fall apart. IMO, anyway. Find me a decent bag for £20, then.

Why not, so long as it gives your back support.

A rucksack is always a worthy investment. I'd rather pay £60 for something that lasts and lasts well than £20 for something which dies within the year.
