So I'm looking at getting either the Heli Pro (20L), the Pro II, or the Chute. It will be my everything pack. From school, to skiing to carrying random things around such as cameras, water bottles and food it will do it all. Any thoughts? I think I'm leaning closest to the Pro II. It seems like kind of the middle ground....

600 cubic inches of room
trust me
i bring a 2000 cu in bag to school every day (high school so i just bring everything, no lockers), and its stuffed full. 2200 will be awesome. 1600 will be to small for SCHOOL, plus a jacket and what ever
chute has 2200, pro2 only has 1600

i got a heli pro new for $25 at rei two years ago... it's worked out amazingly for me.
i use it for:
school
skiing (works really well)
tennis (i hate those big ass bags, so i just put stuff in that and carry my rackets)
walking around town
it's the perfect size for me!

They all last a long time. I've had the Heli-Pro large (20L) for some time now. It's a great bag for skiing and such but i find it hard to actually fit school shit in there (books and binders). I would Definitely go bigger, you won't regret it.
