Default Looking for a backpack

I am in the market for a backpack that I can use for school but will also be able to accommodate my helmet while in school. I foudn this one and it looks like it would work great for both. i don't plan on carrying much; laptop, 1 book, and maybe some headphones along with my helmet. i am looking for something that can strap my helmet of have a compartment like this one. The price for this is a little over $50 . I'd like to keep it around there.

I use the ICON backpack it has a section that folds out with soft lining for your helmet and another secton for a laptop, so far holding up well- but it is 145 clams.

I think for 50 you will have a hard time finding good quality.

A laptop for school? Really?

Obviously, I am of no help in this lol but I have found good packs here. Gear Bags IN STOCK and ready to ship. Gear bags like Bail Out Bags for Police and Military Gear are available for some of the lowest prices on the market.

I've looked at that ICON bag but you're right. The price is a deterrent. As a college student, I can't justifiably spend that much on a backpack, that's why I like the idea of the one I found.

I can look up things the professor is talking about on the spot etc. I don't know, I find it more convenient this way.

Look on eBay and craigslist before you buy anything.

Nice Backpack. I like it. I would also recommend checking on eBay before you purchase anything too soon. There are many different options out there. Looks like your backpack is also sold directly on the site http://www.vikingbags.com/moto-ridin...-back-pack.htm The larger one seems like a good deal for my needs http://www.vikingbags.com/moto-ridin...-back-pack.htm
But it is hard to beat alpinestars budget backpcak that they have for sale too ... It's a really good price and I like how lowprofile it is
Amazon.com: ALPINESTARS Men's Code Backpack, Black Ballistic, One Size: Clothing Amazon.com: ALPINESTARS Men's Code Backpack, Black Ballistic, One Size: Clothing
Both are pretty good deals. I'd imagine you can find both for cheaper on eBay/Fleabay.
