Im looking for a good backpack for school and for snowmobiling if that's even possible. I really want to try a backpack riding next season but they are so expensive for the amount of time i use it. I also need a backpack for school so do you think i could buy a good snowmobile backpack but could also use it for school. I need something really heavy duty. Usually i carry a few binders, a book or two, and a lunch in it so it needs to be pretty big. I think i will use another bag for football undershirts and gym shirts and stuff but it would be nice if that would fit too. I would love if all this could cost under $100 but tell me anything you got. I might also get 2 separate packs but that would cost alot more because a good backpack for school is at least $50 anything less than that seems to be crap after a year or two.

I love my HMK backpack. It was so worth the money.

I've been happy with my HMK. Might want to look at one in person, they are a little on the small side, IMO. They are fairly heavy duty though. My pack is substantially heavy, and it hasn't had a problem.

A mountain lion roaming the prairie found a bull, killed it and ate the entire bull. With a heavy belly, unable to walk, the lion laid in the tall grass moaning and roaring. Soon a hunter, attracted by the roaring, shot and killed the lion.
Moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut!

One thing that I like about my HMK backpack is the ability to buy a bladder and have it fit directly into the backpack. It allows you to carry 30 oz of water easily. Just another pro imo.

Ive thought about getting a the HMK Backcountry Packs also. 4 or 5 years ago i bought a Columbia backpack, and i love it. It is my carry on bag when we fly. If we drive somewhere i put food or magazines in it. This winter i carried all my clothes and stuff in it when i rode up to my brothers for a couple nights, then when we made our long trip from Grayling to Muninising. I also used to use it for school, which is why i bought it. So far its held everything, and nothing has gotten wet. I wish i knew the model of it and how much i paid for it, if it were to break id love to get another one.

I like my Ogio backpack, its kinda small though (perfect for riding) so I don't know how well it would do for school books.
