        ^That's really impressive. I appreciate you taking the time to do that. It's interesting to see that "Beast Mode", doesn't just apply to Iron Heart – some very nice gear in there, man.

          Wicked, thanks a lot
          What size is your bag?

            ^BLACKFROSTT's bag is an XL. I'm pretty jealous of it too.

              I have to check if and how it can fit in my motorcycle case, them I'm tempted to pull the trigger. Fucking yummy piece of hardware.

              Or lets put it differently: what size do I need for a 13 inch mac + cords in a nylon case with outside pockets for the adapter and cords, an ipad, a note book, a couple of file folders about 1 inch thick, plus sneakers, t shirt, underwear, shirt and a folded lungee plus toothbrush?

              Is the L or even the M sufficient?

                ^ I've got the large briefcase, and I'm not sure you'd get all that in there very easily. It's big, but shoes and clothes will take up a lot of space.

                    I dont know the dimensions of your motorcycle case, I think ALL of the items mentioned could fit in a LARGE with creative packing..

                      I've read that Saddleback is using different leather now, though; so I doubt that today's Tobacco Brown will age quite the same way. It's really a shame because BLACKFROSTT's bag looks better than any of the current bags. It would be interesting to know a little bit more about the leathers they use, and how they age; but, surprisingly, none of that information is available on their site. They seem to focus on the construction and not the materials.

                          I have a Saddleback bag that's lined with their standard pigskin. It's really quite stiff with the lining. The color of my bag will eventually look like Blackfrostt's, but I'm not sure if it will ever get as floppy and broken-in looking with the stiff lining. Time will tell I guess.

                            Thanks, I'm thinking of the XL chestnut. Looks yummy yummy. Just got some unexpected $$$ so nows the time. I like their waterbags too. And their backpacks. And their wallets… And their totes look good for my lovely wife. Holy shit....

                              Mine's chestnut. I'm away right now, but can post pictures later in the week with a 13" MacBook sticking out of it, if that helps any.
