Back to school swag bag
I'm the only guy in my school with a Timbuk2 bag. Pretty awesome. I'm looking at other bags currently because my camo Timbuk2 isn't really my style. I've been looking at: Chrome, Mission Workshop, and Freight Baggage. What are your experiences with any of these bags? Good or bad? 
I'm leaning towards the Freight Baggage Rolltop. Looking for a backpack.
P.S. I posted it here because I don't want people suggesting mountain biking bags or hiking bags... You know how people in other forums are.
P.S.S. This question was asked a few years ago, but new bags have come out since then and I like new opinions.

A fancy bag will not get you laid faster. You'll have to wait until college like everyone else.

Screw swag, get utility and durability. I like military/law enforcement gear from Blackhawk, had it recommended to me from a buddy from the military who cycles. Hard to say no to stuff that is made to be on the front lines of combat. Plus with systems like MOLLE you can customize it to fit your needs.

Class > swag.
Face it, pretty soon all people will have MW bags just as well.... the same happened for Chrome and timbuk2.
When you see some big dude with white socks, birkenstocks and a "fore the horde" shirt on with a MW bag, you can thank me for warning you.

For the love of Merckx, stop using that ****ing word.
I REALLY like my Boreas Bolinas. The steel frame pinches just a bit on the love handles when just walking around, but once you're on a bike it feels like it's not even there. The mesh back and air pocket design keep sweat-back at bay.
