18M, entering uni soon and looking to replace the Osprey kids’ pack that I’ve been using for the past 9 years.

I’d like a backpack that’s able to carry a 14 inch laptop, a textbook or two, a jacket, an umbrella, a water bottle… A laptop pocket and side pouches for water bottles are preferable but not a must.

Budget approx. 500-700 HKD (64-90 USD). Looking into getting a Jansport Right Pack (with the reinforced bottom), but I’d like to hear your recommendations.

    My work backpack is an Under Armour hustle and I’ve had it about 5 years. It holds up to 16” laptop along with accessories and other items. The black one is professional looking enough for a casual office.

    I also have a Timbuk2 large messenger bag and it holds more than the backpack but does not have good storage compartments. The water bottle holder is also on the inside which I do not like.
