Dakine Pro II. Was going to go with the Heli Pro, but the Pro II fits my 18.4" lappy (fit is a bit tight, would be perfect for 17").

It's a great hiking backpack, super comfortable with a pair of skis on the back, and I got mine free!

I use it everyday from school to the hill to the BC with no problem.

The Chute may be a bit big for what he wants. He's just skiing and biking, I'd say the Heli Pro or Pro II would be better. I would be better off with the Chute, and indeed I wanted it, but they were all out and this one was free.

I need something that can fit a laptop, SO I'll be going at school with it. So the bigger the better. Yet there are limits but I really want a do it all bag. Something that could hold a 6-pack and and binder no problem.. (sure this ain't the best mix but whatever..) haha! That will be the bag i'll be using for going on vacation, that I need to bring a bunch of shit in the plane. It's gonna be with me for a while.

But thanks for the advice i'll look for them.

I don't know specifically but some of the Oakley backpacks might work for you. I would look at the website.

Pretty much every tech pack has the fleece pocket, Chute included.
