      Well done @Filthy ! Not surprised…your idea sounded solid from the beginning and execution was likely spot on. You ought to post it in places like styleforum or reddit where these boots get a lot of traffic. There is value in your hack as I’ve read about many Wesco/Viberg/Whites owners complaining about sole squeak and either sending them back or selling them.

      The journey is the objective.

        @Giles did you ever get that kayak? just upgraded from my 2014 outback to a 2017 pro angler.

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          I have a 2021 Outback on order.  It should be here late this month…  😉 😉

              I'm looking for a large, waterproof, and hard-core durable back pack. Anyone have any suggestions? My Timbuktu bag is over 10 years old and is still serviceable but I feel like I am ready for something else.

                @Filthy – I'm all about the offerings from either Ortlieb (I have the Packman Pro 2) or Mission Workshop (I had the Rambler at one time).

                  Ooh, this sounds like a question for @Anesthetist, @Graeme, or @Cutlasshound…

                    Don't ask me, the answer will always be Ortlieb….....

                          No offense to Luke and Giles. But I am hoping they have something to suggest that looks less like something from the movie Cliffhanger. 😂

                          These could possibly work… but I am looking for something that is not a roll top and can fit under an airline seat (even if it sticks out a bunch).

                              But Cliffhanger is cool af dude! Don't you wanna look like Sly, @Filthy??  😃

                              Still gonna steer you towards Mission Workshop. Plenty of non-rolltop options and v well made.

                                    Question, does it have to be waterproof (i.e. is it likely to be submerged)?

                                    If so, will have a think.  If memory serves aome of the bags from Finisterre got some positive feedback.

                                    If not. The Mystery Ranch packs with the Futura yoke harness are without a shadow of a doubt the moat comfortable packs I have ever used.  Also, the functionality of the tri-zip is awesome.

                                    Appreciate the military aesthetic of some of them may not be for everyone though!

                                      Are you implying expertise in a very specific subject area is not conducive to romance?  That simply can't be true. 😃

                                          It would not be submerged. But would sometimes be in the rain outside for 12 hours. It would also need to fot a 17 inch gaming laptop inside.
