Example:
Fusion $100
Amoeba $60
Air Jam $75

When i say decent, i mean with comfortable straps...(that airlift crap or whatever)

they're expensive alright, but based on experience, its worth it. Try getting cheap ones, i.e., trinity, avenger, etc.

jansport backpacks have lifetime warranties. I remember as a kid, the zippers of the backpack would always mess up (don't you hate when that happens?) so I would just send the backpack back to jansport, and they would replace it with a new one.

once it took them so long to send me one back based on warranty that I called and complained...and they sent me another one free. wow hot deal.

I bought the one at costco ($30)...its ok...cept they dont make that anymore...+the zipper on that is crap...but it was an older model that didnt have that oval shape the newer ones have...oh and i just bought "air vapor" with cd-player space, "air lift", and headphone out for $65 at some samsonite store...it retails for $80...

What about those timberland packs? i heard they're pretty good...
how long has jansport been around anyways??
