I use to do the same thing when I was traveling. I would buy a slim no name camera bag and stick in a typical school backpack. The good part is I can still put other things in the backpack and the gear is protected in its own bag like a compartment.

FYI, I tried using a Northface backpack ($60'ish type) and it did poorly with my camera gear. The bag didn't expand. It was too rigid. Probably good for other things besides cameras.
