Need a waterproof backpack

[Terabyte]

So, it started raining in Davis,CA - lots of rain and wind.

My ~3 year old Targus laptop backpack needs a replacement, and I'm looking for a waterproof one. Brand isn't too important, and I don't mind paying for a quality backpack.

Any recommendations? I'd like it to be as waterproof as a backpack can be!

I'm looking at the Recon backpack by The North Face. Any reviews?

Thanks.

timbuk2 has some waterproof stuff (if not all of it) but, last i looked, theyre made for smaller notebooks (really macs). anything bigger than 14" probably wont fit in it.

but i have a timbuk2 bag that i *love* and its amazingly well built. and ive rinsed it a few times in 3 years to clean it and the rubberized inside coating is fine. i also throw the bag around and throw stuff in it without much caring....its very sturdy

Stuff it in a duck.

Or get a Tumbuk2 bag.

Look at lowepro even though they are targeted toward photographers they should be able to help you

Anyone have the Timbuk2 Hacker Daypack? http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/backpacks/hacker

It's on sale for $78 because it's being discontinued...

I don't need a laptop bag, so a regular backpack should be fine.

edit - what about the timbuk2 Swig Backpack?
Good price - http://www.amazon.com/Timbuk2-...Backpack/dp/B001UHNTF0
