Any recommendations for backpacks that are designed and built for musicians. Mono and GruvGear have some nice bags but they are more aimed toward DJs and producers. I'm wondering if there are any backpacks that are created specifically for a musicians needs.

I'm looking at the same thing right now. There's another company called GigSkinz that specializes for musicians- I'll probably opt for Mono or GruvGear though as I have products from both companies and they're high quality.

I haven't tried their backpacks, but have bought a couple mixer bags (for small amps) from GigSkinz. Very well made and very durable. If you have a GC coupon, they are available there.

A back pack is a back pack ! find one stuff it up with your music gear and save yourself the ridiculous price you'll pay for one that has a fender Gibson fodera etc. Logo on it!
At the end of the day it's still just a back pack! ;)

Well no. It has nothing to do with the logo. Lots of bags are designed with specific purposes, like pockets sized for cables, removable sleeve pockets for laptops, pick pouches, reinforced areas for delicate gear, hooks to attach to gear carts, etc. They're not all just a canvas sack you throw everything in like you did in high school.

I have a Gruv Gear Club Bag that I gigged with for a while, and liked it so much I bought a second one to use for work with my laptop. I enjoy the removable shelving and the locker opening pockets; they make it very easy to find what you want.
