Jansport’s ‘go to’ bag, the superbreak, is now available in many different colors and designs.  For backpackers planning on hostel jumping, you may want a daybag like this if you’re pack isn’t over 3700cc.  It’s good to pack around cities once you get to your destination.  The funky color above can be found here. Usually Jansport bags can be found in about any retail store and will go from $20 - $75.  The standard bag above is their lower end model (no leather on the bottom).

Whenever I think of the Timbuk2 I think of custom messenger bags. Actually, the word “bulky” comes to mind. So when I saw they had a Daypack, I became interested. The Undergournd Day Pack is well designed and has easy access flaps and all the custom pockets you could want. You still can’t build your own like with their messenger bags and totes, but in the future I guess they will have that as an option.
