Long-lasting everyday backpack recommendations (lemmy.sdf.org)

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.

Couldn't find a specific model/brand other than this relatively expensive german brand, but the concept is easy and cheap so i guess you could find better.

I generally recommend this type of backpack since its 100% waterproof, basically dirtproof, has no zippers or any other parts that can brake. More ore less wear and tear proof. They contain huge volumes, but have little organization features.I got one thats in use for over 20years.

Tldr: max. Funktionality but you also look functional (german tourist syndrome)
