you think you could put skis in it if you had to? I need a new backpack for school, and I figure it'd be way easier to strap them to the pack when I have to walk places with skis on my back. and in the event i go out west i might bring it on the slopes for a bit. I usually waterproof my bags with that spray stuff too.
either that or i could get a heli pro but i'm sure the mission is better for campus life breh.

the pollard one is sick. but graphics on a backpack aren't really that important to me. plus I live in NJ. I won't be needing to put skis on it often, just maybe a couple times to walk from my dorm to where the ski trips bus is. maybe once or so if i'm hiking in colorado, but i'd just as easily carry them or use them to pull myself through snow. plus the mission's got a laptop sleeve, but I could just keep it in the case in a heli pro in a good spot.

i don't know, i'll have to look to see if i can look in person or find a good deal.

if all you are doing is walking from your dorm to the ski bus just carry them over your shoulder. it will be more of a hassle to take them in and out of the straps on a help pro. and the mission will be far superior on campus. it holds school stuff way better. small hikes out west your shoulder will work fine too for skis. the mission has a lovely lap top sleeve and organizer pocket that is great for school supplies that the help pro just doesn't have. go mission for school purposes, you won't need the ski carry enough for a heli pro from what you're telling us.
