where to buy a good courier-type bag?

[TimG]

im looking for one of those single-strap backpack/courier bags.

all the ones i've seen so far look like they will fall apart after 1 month of use.

Any suggestions for where I can find a good selection? I even went to a bentley's and they only have regular backpacks.

Cheers

Tim

Man those are horrible for your shoulders/back

Get a dakine bag, they fucking withstand everything.
School/work/snowboarding/mountainbiking

and there super comfortable.

Order one of these.

They are all hand made and built to your specs. You can pick colors and options. This is what the pros use.

I have a puma one that is just awesome (leather). I bought it from the Puma store in the states but I'm sure you could order one online from their site.

Don't get the ones from Mexx.. I used it as a school bag and the thing ripped on me after 3 months..

I had a laptop, 2 textbooks and a notebook in my bag..

3 months later.. *rip*

Oh, and I've gone through 2 of them (different styles).. same deal..

I had one from eddie bauer in high school that lasted me all three years... actually I still occaisionally use it. I've also heard good things about the mec ones though

[TimG]

I've already looked at the stuff that MEC has and nothing caught my eye.

My old High Sierra bag lasted me my entire undergrad and grad school career and is only now starting to die on me.

That Timbuk2 bag looks pretty cool. I'll check into that one some more. Thanks!

I've got a roots bag. I highly reccomend it. Its strong, has a padded section for a laptop, not to big, but expandable.
