      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.

            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 :).

                  since there is camo i actually like it… a lot!
                  only thing that i'm not quite a fan of are the denim shoulder straps...think they will bleed blue and be visible on a few top-items imo!...

                      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.

                          Different style, but definitely hardy are the bags by Mission Workshop.  I've got one of the backpacks and the thing is damn near indestructible.  I'd imagine the messenger bags are built to the same level…

                                I like TadGear for all my packs. I hear good things about their messenger bag

                                I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                  Anytime.  I've got a Vandal backpack and absolutely love it.  Been contemplating one of their messengers for a while now…

                                    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…

                                          Got the Mission Workshop Monty messenger. Recommended. I'll do an EDC pic when I have a minute.

                                          Thing is fucking bullet proof.

                                            I was in Condor Cycles in London this evening (contemplating a Pista build), and whilst there I had a play with a Mission Workshop Rambler - very well made piece of kit, probably bomb proof, but I'm not sure I could justify the price.
