Buying a Backpack in Toronto?

Question

What would be a good place to buy a backpack for school-type purposes? Just something affordable but reliable. I can't seem to find out much but MEC from a google search. Thanks so much for your help!

Answer 1

Mountain Equipment is really good quality, but can be pricey.

Jansport is a really good quality backback.  I've used them all though my high school and university years and they are durable and last a while.  Prices are reasonable.

You can find Jansport brand bags at KJameson retailers (I believe a lot of other luggage shops carry them too).

You can also try Winners.  You'll find a lot of discounted brand-name bags here, such as Swiss Gear and Heys.
