4374 Backpacks...
Can either of you two reccomend a backpack?

Things that I look for in a backpack include,

Plain/not too garish
Comfortable
Lots of storage
Good build quality
Different compartments
Waterproof

If you could tell me tales of backpacks which could help me on this little search that would be great. Ideally with links to an online retailer I can order a winner from.

Ta.

I bought from a brand called 'Mountain Life' a few years ago at one of those outdoorsy shops. It's stood up well and fits all of the criteria you posted.

Really, just get yourself down to a hiking shop or something similar, you'll find something to suit your needs. If you're looking specifically for something you can buy online, I remember a name being posted around these boards, a Swedish retailer that supposedly make very high quality gear. I'll see if I can dig it up.

An old thread here with a couple of recommendations. http://britfa.gs/eco/res/1967.html

I'd also add to get yourself to a decathlon if there's one near you, they've got a good selection as long as you don't mind buying stuff made in France.

Have a look for the plain Eastpak bags if you want something understated with reliable build. They have various sizes, I opted for the standard, everyday rucksack which has only a main compartment and a front one and it's simply exactly what it says on the tin.

I suppose it all depends what you want the backpack for.

I use a Gelert Rodisson 30. A nice, solid backpack with enough compartments for casual/semi-strenuous hiking or going around town. Padding in all the right places for a load up to 15kg or thereabouts.

Depends what you want it for. If you don't intend to go camping/hiking etc. then don't waste money on anything designed for such. You can get backpacks for a tenner at Sports Direct that are perfectly comfortable and don't make you look like an anorak neither.

If you do want something massive for camping, Eurohike are great.

Thanks all, I went for the Osprey Quantum 34L. I'll be using it for travel to and from work plus other urban pursuits. I'll give some feedback in due course.
