18M, entering uni soon and looking to replace the Osprey kids' pack that I've been using for the past 9 years.

I'd like a backpack that's able to carry a 14 inch laptop, a textbook or two, a jacket, an umbrella, a water bottle... A laptop pocket and side pouches for water bottles are preferable but not a must.

Budget approx. 500-700 HKD (64-90 USD). Looking into getting a Jansport Right Pack (with the reinforced bottom), but I'd like to hear your recommendations.

My dad has a goruck, it's taken quite a beating (he actually goes rucking unlike me) but is still very much intact. Wouldn't get one at the moment but they are a reliable brand!

I fully agree with you about the zippers. That jingly shit is annoying as hell. My Osprey pack has the cord type of zipper but with plastic zipper pulls on the end of the paracord, which unfortunately have all broken in half lmao.
