nothing that cheap. If you can justify the cost of dapper/hook & loop pouches-nothing beats the dap pack that I have for edc. FULL customization, infinite configs, and complete personalization. I love mine-however you'll need to luck out on ebay for a blue force dap pack (on the cheap).
Otherwise, there's vertx for full hook and loop-not really my style though.
Too many options.....Can you be any less specific?
Also, I came to realize the tarahumara cannot be beat in terms of comfort. For the guys that like a full zip though-the e&e can be had for around 70 or less on the secondary market.
Try looking into the topo designs daylight. Been wanting one forever but keep buying other packs.

"Is it mailed? Did you mail it? Where's the tracking? I'm pretty excited. I hope he cries. Think he'll cry? What a bitch."

"I'm waiting for Digiorno to cook. Three meat, stuffed crust. It's not delivery, but no place delivers here. So. "
And as far as real cheap and super small, there's a couple of jansports I eventually want to get. You can get the superbreak sleeves for about 30 or less.
Non tactical-check out 6pm.com or sunnysports-my go to's for outdoor gear/apparel.

As far as slings go, I'd choose a more versatile option like a pack with interchangeable configs (the ones w/side-release buckles at the bottom of the straps).
That way, you're not limited and you can be more comfortable if you choose to carry a slightly heavier load at times and walking longer distances. Cone will tell ya the same-if you're walking a long time with a sling or messenger, it can be killer.
Both my ROP and DAP packs are perfect size for edc (anything smaller and it's too limited) and they have interchangeable strap configs. You can always get the black ops ROP from Grey Ghost for cheap.
...and if you go smaller, just go lighter. 500D-1000D is overkill for EDC.

And also, Tom Bihn Synapse 19 has been on my list. If you can find one for under 90, go for it. I keep looking for non-tactical looking packs and the Synapse has always been calling to me.
