I've had the same backpack for probably around 6 years, it a pretty nice North Face but it doesn't hold that much and doesn't have any straps for a skateboard. I'm mostly looking for a backpack that can hold a lot of shit including a computer so it would have to be waterproof and padded and just something that i could switch between using for school and travel and skate/ski stuff. ill only be using it for school for like 2 more years any suggestions would be greatly appreciated I'm looking to spend up to like 85ish.

Dakine poacher. I got last years for $70 and it has been so worth it to have the extra room. Have had it for almost a year and used it heavily everyday between my last semester at school, hiking in the summer, and now as my main ski pack everyday. No broken zippers, no blown out stitching.

A huge amount of people that decide to use one pack for everything (skiing, school, skate, and travel) usually go with the Dakine Mission.
Relatively inexpensive, holds everything you want.
Pretty sure Dakine has recognized this and made it the hybrid pack everyone wants.

Really loved all the different dakines ive had over the years. My brothers got a line bag thats pretty sweet and his buddy rides with a Life-link which is also a really decent pack.
