Luggage Bags and Packs

Actually, great as they are, I don't want to spend almost $300 on something I'm not going to use that often.

Mega, just go with Herchel Supply or Topo Designs. Good enough quality to last a few years with light use. Cheap as hell.
$35(on sale)-$120.
You can pretty much find them on sale at anytime.
Karmaloop promo codes are always around, even on the site.

I got a good deal on the Gorucks, for some reason the small one was $70 reduced which paid for the postage. I use the GR1 weekly at the moment, so it seemed worth it.
Highly recommend the North Face Recon though. Presuming they still make it, it's an excellent bag for the money. I posted a 'what's in your bag' a while back here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=284.msg42528#msg42528
Rubbish picture, but gives you an idea what was in the bag.

Oh, I got the Makr Farm Rucksack for my birthday as well, from this place. Great bag for day trips/ work.

Not a bad price for the UK as well.
I'm about to sell my old Saddleback briefcase as well, but it doesn't sound like that's what you're after.

Choose Topo over Herschel every time.
I agree 100%. This just comes down to cost and hat you're willing to pay. Herschel's cheap, money and quality wise.
Topo is make in the USA. Nuff said.

I think it'd look better as all denim. Can't see a reason for that camouflage, doesn't blend in well. Which is more than a little ironic :).

So, I need a new bag, I'm looking at this: http://killspencer.com/device/macbook-pro-17/korean-war-era-business-messenger.html
Anyone got any suggestions for a similarly hardy messenger?

For that kinda dough, check out Head Porter.

Similar style to the Mission Workshop bag would be Timbuk2. Mine is going on 13 years old with near daily use. Still going strong. And the customization options if you choose to build your own are extensive.

I had a Timbuk2 as my go to back for around 5 years. Never had any problems with it, aside from it not being waterproof (the reason I upgraded).
Having said that, my Mission Workshop bag is definitely a level above what Timbuk2 has to offer. The zippers, other hardware, and materials are all an improvement from the bag I had…
