Messenger Backpacks

I am looking for a messenger backpack (two strap, not messenger bags), please name all the brands you know. Thanks.

I did search, I keep coming across Seagull, Chrome, and Banjo Brothers. Are there anything else out there?

are you planning to make bags and sell them?

I want something for around $100. The max i am willing to pay is $150. I will be using this bag for commuting so I don't want something that will slide around my bag. I will also be using it for school, so I want something that won't put too much strain on my back while i am walking around with it. The bag also has to be big, around 1000 cubic inches. Having reflective strips on it would be nice and a blinky holder would be a plus. That is basically it for now. If I have more features that I would like in a bag, I'll let you know.

the chrome ones are pretty nice and i think reasonably priced if you're going the route of the non customy bags like reload, seagull, etc. one of my friends has one and i've worn it and liked it a lot. i'm going with a reload midpack though as my birthday in conjunction with a credit card just made it affordable.

In light of the search function being broken, cause what other excuse would you have for not using it to search for something so often discussed:
