      I'm not sure how much maintenance would be necessary. Leather jackets don't generally need a lot of care.

      The biggest issue for me would be weight, it's going to be a lot heavier than something built from more modern materials. On a day-to-day basis this isn't a problem, but some airlines have a 7 kg limit for carry-on and burning 2 or 3 kg for a leather pack is going to eat into what you can take onboard.

      I'd expect durability to be better than other materials, as leather is fantastic for abrasion resistance.

      Carryology reviewed the Kasperi leather roll-top in 2021. That should give you a better idea of what they're like.

        @Oliver_YO181 This may be a useless comment, but other than office use and cooler weather commuting, you will get basically zero breathability and deal with a sweaty back in warmer weather if you are trying to use a leather backpack for hikes.

          Mirroring what has already been said, leather looks great and wears in beautifully but is heavy and sweaty. I have a beautiful Loyal Stricklin backpack but it is largely reserved for colder weather, meetings, or classy carry days.

              Patagonia sling bag 8l. I never really wanted to 'wear' a sling bag (too much resemblance to the ever dreaded hip bag),
              but it's great for walking. All one can do is buy it in hard colours such as khaki and black...

                @Anesthetist pretty cool. But they desperately need an editor because they are desperately in love with the smell of their own farts. Way too much work to get the gist. Even the summary is bloated with marketing bullshit instead of simple functional facts.

                Calm down, Carryology.

                Think it, be it.

                  This is my trusty Klättermusen Grip 40L.

                  I think Klättermusen used the be in the outdoor industry what Iron Heart is now in the denim scene - the must rugged, impeccable gear money could buy.

                    I was up in Sydney a fortnight ago when it landed, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

                    It looks a nice bag, and I do like the adjuster with the rocket engraving.

                    There was also the Chimera sling that dropped last week, but that's also sold out.

                    The most interesting sounding project that they're doing is the Berserker, which is the follow up to the GoRuck Samarai from last year.

                      @Graeme I love my GoRuck Samurai and was wondering if you had the details on the Berserker. I must not be looking in the right place…

                      Can you help me?

                        Andy Fallshaw, founder of both Carryology and Bellroy, summed it up well: “Carryology and Bellroy have evolved surprisingly different expressions of better ways to carry that are even stronger when united.”

                          @goosehd all I know is that it's due in the summer or fall of this year, and it'll be based around the GR1.

                          There's also a line in the collaborations calendar (which you can find in their Facebook group) that reads: GORUCK x Carryology Samurai Expansion (Summer)

                            @Seul I used a very similar sling by Patagucci for years til the trims all went to hell. Excellent bag you have there.

                              @Graeme thank you! I guess I’m missing out as I’m not on facebook.

                                @Graeme @mclaincausey I was intrigued by the MW Mars bag made for Nasa and told my wife how much I would love to have one in a day bag size. I guess I fell for the all too convenient story feeding into a collab, but I guess it worked. I ended up pre ordering and HOPE it shows up for our London trip in July.

                                As for carryology and their writing… it’s completely obnoxious and it is incredibly inconvenient. I find myself having to read it all 3-4 times to figure out wtf he is talking about.

                                Anyone get the sling?

                                  @mclaincausey reminds me of that SouthPark episode where everyone smelled their farts out of a wine glass 😂

                                    @Anesthetist …good reference! I was also thinking about the Seinfeld episodes and the Peterman catalogs.

                                          I love those Patagonia slings too. I have a black one, and now so does my girlfriend because she liked mine so much. Yes, we look super cool together.
