Long-lasting everyday backpack recommendations (lemmy.sdf.org)

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.

With that budget, consider taking a look at Peak Design's Everyday Backpack. It's a different style than be you're used to, but it hits all the boxes, and looks sharp. https://www.peakdesign.com/collections/everyday-bags/products/everyday-backpack?variant=29743300771884. They
excell at better organization. But because they are slightly rigid, textbooks might weigh a bit weird if you have too many.

We have an everyday V2, totepack and two 30L travel packs, all highly recommend.
