I've just been asked this and the answer is "not at all, have you looked at a Camelbak Mule?". A girl I know is after one for riding her bike around "That London" so shes after something trendy and Aldi just isn't going to cut it.

What should she look for?

Cheers.

Not a DC bag. Had mine since september, got a 5 inch rip on each side and holes in the bottom. Not cool.

For the very best you can get - Timbuk2
For pretty colours - Crumpler
For innovative, individual stuff - Freitag

I have a Timbuk2 that I purchased in New York over a decade ago. It's been all over the world with me and still does daily duty on the commute. Occasionally I run it through the washing machine and it comes up like new.

Northwave make some excellent, comfy and very cheap bags.
They don't look cool but they're very good.

I've got a Crumpler. Well thought out and hard-wearing. Pretty too, with a lovely reflective stripe on so I don't die.

Again Bagaboo. Mine is sitting behind me and looking good despite being around four years old. The best thing is they do one-off custom designs. Nice.
