        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.

              A mate of mine has the Rambler. Bombproof it is. Really lovely piece.

                    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?

                    Just wanted to advertise a great bag from M&W Traveller - made of horsehide for a great price and decent quality made in USA which serves me well for some years now..

                    AND THEN I´VE READ THIS! http://www.styleforum.net/t/306658/is-m-w-traveler-still-around

                    They closed business tt

                    the homepage is also down..

                    bag looks like this btw: http://www.styleforum.net/t/286046/m-w-traveller-laptop-briefcase-in-brown-horsehide

                      Indeed, and given how wet it was on my evening commute on Friday, I'm now in real need of a waterproof rucksack, since my current one no longer is 😞

                      Needs to be able to swallow a laptop, change of clothes and a pair of shoes, be comfortable, and totally waterproof. The shortlist at the moment is:-

                      1. Kriega R35
                      2. MissionWorkshop Rambler

                      Any other suggestions would be welcome 🙂

                        A goruck bag would fit the bill well, they have several sizes I'm sure one would work out well, great for carrying a laptop, ultra tough, I don't know I'd characterize them as completely waterproof but for all intents and purposes they are, unless you're gonna submerge them. I love mine and they're made by good people

                          Timbuk2 solid bag. Been cycling with it all weather (including in flooding weather), and not a drop of water inside. Just pick the waterproof textures when building the customs.

                            I've got a Timbuk2, but recently switched back to a rucksack, and tbh I prefer it, more comfortable.

                            Thanks jacoavlu, really like the GR1, ticks all the boxes 🙂

                              I've got one of Scott's early messenger bags (http://www.blackrainbowproject.co.uk/) and it's a fucking beast. I know he's attempting to ramp up production a bit now he's moved to new premises and I seem to remember him talking about a backpack.

                                    Has anyone in the UK bought a Goruck recently?  Any hints for navigating the tax/handling charges which will hit?  No problem paying for the bag but I have real beef with the ridiculous duty costs.  (Yes I've already mailed Goruck themselves and they have no strategy they can offer…)

                                        I'm having one of these if I have to sell a kidney to get it.
