I have a Pro Limit backpack for 10 years. The same backpack. I'll replace it soon. It has some scratches, but it is really good for the age.

#132I got 3 backpacks.
One large one which I bought for Scouting almost 25 years ago. It still works. I don't know what brand it is. It cost about 150 EUR.
I got two smaller ones. Both can easily hold a 2-3 kg MBP, and a lot more. Ones an Eastpak with lifelong warranty. It cost nearly 100 EUR. Another ones a ThinkPad backpad from around 2007 or so, also cost similar price. Both are awesome. The only disadvantage the ThinkPad one has, it screams 'I contain a laptop' ie. 'rob me!' My gf uses the ThinkPad one.
I bought an e-reader raecently cause I CBA to carry large books around anymore.

#133I have a booq[1] (not this specific model, my model is older has it is black/red but this is very similar) and I've been extremely happy with it. I bought it like 4-5 years ago, it has served me extremely well, I used it extensively for 3.5 years for nearly everything imaginable under all weather conditions. It was a great product, deserved every penny.

#134I have a GoRuck GR1 that was an insane gift to myself for 3 years sober. One of my most prized possessions. http://www.goruck.com/gr1-rucksack-black-/p/GEAR-000574
Same, picked up a 26L GR1 this year and it's been wonderful.

2. Black British milsurp daypack: https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/british-patrol-backpa... T420 fits perfectly in the inner compartment, can carry enough for a short camping trip, very versatile.
Not the best looking or most functional packs, but they do their job well.

#140Been using the Patagonia Chacabuco for a long time now. But it's a bit unruly. Now I'm using the Timbuk2 Q - http://goo.gl/rLxToZ Slimmer, much more manageable. Course all I throw in there is a Dell XPS 13 and a book.
I'm happy with my Chacabuco/32L and can't even remember how long ago I bought it. Use it for: - city use, - "pack dad" use (carry extra jackets for my children), - day hikes, - carry on bag - ski bag (carry stuff on downhill ski trips) Have thought about trying to do an UL overnight backpack trip with it for kicks. Have taken it back once to Patagonia for free repairs, and another time for a free replacement of some…
I've used the shockcord netting to hold my bike lock... But then, I've found that the Chacabuco was not my bike bag of choice after a couple trips. Replaced it with a hand-me-down CamelPack for exploration and panniers for daily commutes.
