Would a stroll at MEC give you some ideas on a new backpack?
If I were to need one, that's what I'd do. But every since MEC moved to their False Creek location, it's a massive PITA for me to get there, and I just haven't gone nearly as often.
That said, I hated going into MEC anyway. Everyone who shops there look like they are young and/or fit, and I look like shxt by comparison.
