The best (and probably cheapest) place to get good quality backpacks is at Mountain Equipment Co-op (www.mec.ca). They have a huge amount of selection and really good brands. I got my Arc’Teryx Bora there… its great. They have a fair amount of general travel accesories too, which is pretty great. You do need to buy a 5$ membership to be able to buy from them, but its completely worth it because of their awesome policies on shipping, environmental ethics and generally awesome stuff. Hit it up!

LL Bean, REI, EMS (eastern mountain sports), all carry a great selection and you can buy online from all of them too.  My backpack is from LL Bean and has been pretty good to me so far!
