Indestructible Backpack!

This winter when I hit the slopes I really want to be able

to bring my camera along. I have a Canon Rebel xti which takes some really nice

pictures depending on the conditions (when it’s too cold it takes forever to

snap the shot). Although the quality of the pictures is top notch, the camera

is simply too big and bulky to be carried around my neck and my current carrying

case isn’t much better, and when I’m on the hill I’m always worried about

falling and breaking the thing. I am wondering if there is such a thing as an

indestructible backpack? The image in my head is of something small and

streamlined, with a compartment made of a resilient plastic like that used to

make the Nalgene water bottles. The compartment would be just about bin enough

for the camera, the lens, and maybe some snacks. So far I haven’t seen anything

like this on the internet or at a sporting-goods store. Any ideas?
 
Dakine's examples are the Mission Photo and the Sequence Photo which both have a removable inner photo block to house your DSLR and spare lenses or flash, etc. in a hard casing. The Mission is 1600 cu. inches and their smallest examples, but isn't TOO big. I have both the Mission Photo and the Sequence Photo, and the mission is bearable but may not be as small as you'd like.

Durability wise they hold up well, my brother and I have both wrecked hard on to our bags in back country and nothing ever happens to the cameras or lenses.

Let me know if you need pictures or size comparisons, I think I have them somewhere...
 
you can try the small fstop bag but that will still be kinda big. your best bet is probably to buy a small camera case/bag thing put the camera in that then put that in a normal pack.
