Backpack for school?

Got a Dakine Baker 16L which just isn't cutting it as a school bag; know it was never intended to be one. Need to fit a 15" laptop, 13HD Wacom Cintiq tablet, and ideally a pad of A3 paper (11.7 x 16.5 in). All the dakine bags I have as more skiing related so they don't have a laptop sleeve or they mostly open up big from the backplate side (heli-pro 2.0). Want something that's equally a tough as my Dakine bags, but more daily life friendly. Any recommendations from you guys?

My general purpose daypacks:

Patagonia Black Hole 35l backpack for larger loads and wet weather

Topo Designs Klettersack for everyday

Pretty expensive, but extremely good quality.

I have a Mission 25L Photo bag, but it just doesn't have enough room to fit a laptop inside if I have the camera pouch in it. Thought about getting a 38L Blade but that's more skiing than daily life. That Network bag looks like something that might fit my needs.

In your experience hows it handle walking through the rain, the inside get wet?

you should drag around a coffin bag, you can store all your books and whatever you need in it. you could even give da girls a ride around it to class if it has wheels. stick like 20 laptops all your buddies books and gym clothes. you would be the man at your school.
