[la-vvoc]

i'm actually feeling this backpack:

where can you buy it from? and what is the price...also what is the normal size of a backpack...30L? thanks

which color btw:

[kingtubby]

Fjallraven is where it's at. I love their stuff. Their coats, their shirts, their hats. It's all great. Also can't go wrong with this Fjallraven classic avail in tons of colors:

DOPE! where cop?

[Dead_Wizard]

DOPE! where cop?

They're swedish iirc. Some guy on here was going to buy a bunch and resell if there was sufficient interest, not sure what happened though.

[la-vvoc]

Fjällräven is the shit. Im was thinking of getting that big, vintage style back pack myseld, probably 25 l. Kånken is cool aswell, but the shoulder straps are so thin...

These guys sell Fjallraven. Apparently only shipping within europe but shoot em a mail and they might help you. On a side note, translation is probably fucked.

Standard Kånken retails for about $60 and the other one for around $140.

Mujis are pretty good for the price.

Think I'm gonna drop by during lunch.

[Jkissi7]

ahh.. this thread is just in time before school starts

[chingon]

is there anywhere I can buy a Muji online?

that bottom muji is the one i was talking about. i think it was $68. pretty nice quality... good pocket space, ykk zipper, bungee-like zipper pulls.

fyi - the muji next to NYTIMES only had that in grey.

[the_state]

is there anywhere I can buy a Muji online?

i dont think so. when in doubt try darkanimals nyc pickups since 2005.

[Heartworm]

I like Haglöfs... I have the Tight model in black size L, and it's great for both school and various outdoor activities... There's room for a camelbak as well.

[DaBestSpoona]

fyi - the muji next to NYTIMES only had that in grey.

When did you go? I'm annoyed that their prices are 30% above the price in yen for stuff they sell directly.

[rome1]

that bottom Muji is dope...

as for TNF I've had that Borealis pack for god knows how many years... its filthy but has held up against pretty much everything I've thrown at it.

I also like some of the Burton street edition packs there not really expensive and provide tons of storage.

i went on friday and didn't see any black ones at a fast glance. but i didn't dig around the backpack pile or ask about stock...

I saw a guy on the train with a Dickies backpack the other day. It was made of denim and kind of slouchy ala Raf x Eastpak. Been searching the net but cant find anything relating to it. Figure it must be some kind of collabo. Anyone with info?

[Phishphood]

The North Face Borealis pack isn't bad for $70:

My North Face pack has withstood a good deal of abuse, and its got a lifetime warranty so if you manage to kill it the company will replace it for free

[Guest l77egaman]

Anyone try Camelbak? They make high quality backpacks, and you can find them on ebay for under $100.

Keeps you hydrated too.

the HAWG and Motherlode are probably the best models.

[bchhun]

[chris_n]

only like 2 people messaged me. hardly worthy my trouble. anyway, i brought back an extra to the states.... i still am not sure i want to part with it. it's the exact same blue color as pictured.

any interest?

[raginberriodoom]

to anyone who owns those mujis: how are the qualities of the backpacks?

Yeah I'd like to know also? Where are they located in NYC? Google says Broadway but don't know if thats an office or??

[amardeep]

Are you looking at "Muji USA Ltd" at 455 Broadway?

That's probably a retail store, seeing as how there's a review from some guy who said he bought some shirts there.

Also, bunch of + reviews on yelp.

Will check it out tomorrow.

Go to your local army navy and check out its wares.

Lots of high quality packs with all the MOLLE/ALICE shit you could want.

Its like build your own bag if you want to get specific, and if its manufactured by a legit milspec contractor, that shit is going to last you forever.

Camo if you're into it, and black tan and olive drab if you want something more basic.

ya, this is the best idea if you're into the milspec style. plenty of nice ones on ebay for under $75.

here's a link to "molle pack" searched on ebay:

they're okay, the buckles could be better.

[sushijerk]

Yea it's the soho store.

Quality is ok but you'll find pretty much the same stuff on any other backpack for 1/2 the price. I bought the grey just because it's minimalist enough for me to wear with anything without going into fashion backpack territory. Otherwise for almost $70 you're not getting a lot for your money.

[dom!]

anyone like invicta anymore? robust as they come, and it's not all about the school'ie rainbow colors...

hard to find in u.s. though. after invicta, the monocle x porter bags are fetch

cheers/dom

[raginberriodoom]

so i recently had a friend pick up a muji backpack for me, that stuff seems to be made pretty well but shit is thin and smaller than most "school" sized backpacks.

overall, i still like it though

[travisio]

This dqm backpack (that sidneylo is unintentionally modeling) is pretty good. They pop up on ebay from time to time for around $70ish. Pretty big and there is a zipper running vertically down the back which is really convenient. It's based on this one but that one is probably overkill.
