Rucksack Wars- help me find a "fashionable" rucksack that meets my "practical" criteria

Just had a screaming row with dd and spent ages trawling the net. Dd has loads of books to carry, a long journey and likes to squash her PE kit in en route to make life easy. I would like a rucksack that is large, has pockets and is in a dark colour( pref with drink bottle pockets outside but not crucial).

The Hype bags don't fit this bill imvho( particularly in the colour dd likes). Are there any other brands I've missed? Doesn't like Mi PAC. Apparently unless it's Hype she'll be friendless for lifeHmm. Yes I've just given her the don't be so ridiculous lecture and the it's my money so I get a say, practicality is more important than fashion etc lecture. Didn't go down well. Sent her up to Google alternatives.

Any recommendations?

It's just too small imvho, no inside pockets.... she likes a ridiculous wishy washy colour that will look filthy in days. Site very vague re size, no pics of inside.

She said sh'd carry her PE kit but I know she'll squash it in and crush her books as no separate compartment. One review said too small for school. Don't mind shelling out if it does the job.

Confused

I was just coming on to say Hype after reading the title. Grin It is what the teens want.
