I need a new backpack, but mostly for work. However, I can't stand unfunctional fashion crap and as a geologist (though mostly office based) I can pull of some slight /out/ styling, but it shouldn't look totally out of place with "business casual" or even a suit.
Seems like retro packs could be quite OK, and with pic related, I'd assume that both, patagonia and lowe won't sell total crap .
Any opinions on those? Mostly for city use, but wouldn't be the first time that I throw in a bunch of climbing stuff and head straight for the rocks when leaving office on a friday, so It should carry somewhat well and be robust enough for that.
The patagonia one is quite a bit cheaper and has a laptop pocket, but it's smaller and doesn't look as good as the lowe. And both don't have a hipbelt…
