I have a bad history with school backpacks. I overload them and break them.
So here's the deal: I need one for school in about three weeks with the following qualifications:
Under $120
Milspec or very durable; will not break loaded with several textbooks and a laptop and some water bottles
Waterproof to protect books and laptop
Several pockets for organization

The cheaper one the better, so I can buy two :)

Have you looked into Maxpedition's packs? They are not cheap, but are very well fought out and durable.

I have a Condor II (not for sale), it might fit your needs.

Edit: there are several military packs in the Non-Firearms Classifieds right now for good prices.

For that amount hunt yourself up a couple of medium ALICE packs w/o frames if you want a spare. However, for what you want to do take a look at this site: www.mountainridgegear.com. American-made by an AD guy, bomb-proof, and great prices and service. I can recommend without reservation. Look at the TMP-Wide with a Dura-Strap or the Alpha pack. You won't need two of these.

You don't need anything more than a jansport. Just buy one that's nice and it will last. Ive got one I use today for all kinds of stuff and I've had it for close to ten years.
