      Tom Bihn looks pretty decent.

      As i'm sure you gather, I'm a strong supporter of Bedouin generally. Handmade in England is definitely where its at…. Plus, if you got one and didnt like it, i would be sorely tempted to buy it off you.

      Have you also looked at the Kletterwerks stuff? If memory serves its associated with Dana  Gleeson, the chap behind Mystery Ranch.

      There is also Visvim, but in my opinion their packs are massively overpriced. I own one (bought it for £200 in 2007). Its a nice pack, very comfortable, but its most certainly not worth the £700 they recently charged for the same model.

          Seriously TB is shithouse these days. That's as polite as I can put it. I re-read my old review and would be even more scathing now.

                @Cutlasshound I think that the Bedouin is winning right now, particularly in like of comments made by @Snowy about the Bihn bags.

                The Bedouin Ottoman is a bigger version of the Delireis. If I can get hold of one then it might be the best choice. Lantiki have it in stock.

                I took a look at the Kletterwerks bags. I like the Kletter Flip, unfortunately it's a bit too small, but the Rock Pack would probably work.

                If anyone is still paying attention, there's also the Awl Snap HotShot. It's a bit bigger than the Bedouin, but that makes it more useful for travelling. Erin, the company's owner, has a smaller version, the Ace, in the works.

                    We own three between my wife and I: a slick ruck sized like the GR-1, a Radio Ruck, and an Echo. We took our bags in vacation in 2013 & 2014. The first year we wore them we received tons of compliments and saw a lot of folks wearing them. This past year was the polar opposite. Not enough to suggest that their popularity is waning but makes me wonder. We still enjoy ours though. We use them fairly often and they albeit a little dusty, they still look new.

                      I use my GR1 every day for work, it's the toughest bag I have ever seen (apart from my dog chewing some of the strap off). I actually appreciate it more now than when I got it and I would buy another one.

                        BTW, I sold a few pieces over the last month and picked this up while in TN @ Colonel Littleton. Albeit a little smaller than I usually carry, I can now keep my briefcase for work and this as my personal bag. This leather is seriously fucking beautiful…

                        This will probably be my bag splurge for the year, next year will maybe be a Teranishi Daytripper.

                                  Thanks guys, I'm very happy with it. It can carry my iPad, iPod, notebook, pens, a knife, cards, and my GoPro without being too bulky. There are several choices in leather from the Colonel, but this is his signature and I've seen amazingly worn and burnished examples in person. I also looked at the Grip bags and they are amazing. If I didn't have a J Peterman/ Mulholland Gladstone, I would probably save up for one.

                                      I saw the Haglöfs Ryggsäck N:o 1 in the Carryology Awards, and am rather smitten. What is it with the Scandinavians? 😘

                                      The bag's a limited edition of a thousand pieces to celebrate Haglöfs' centenary. Everything on the bag is produced in Sweden, which apparently was quite difficult to achieve.

                                      It's made of Cordura and leather with wool felt as padding. The capacity is around 24 litres. A few places have it in stock for around €500.

                                          Thanks for the Rucker updates guys. Good to hear that you who own them still love them. Just the hype's dropped out of the market for them then.

                                            Yeh, not really sure what happened there. They got a lot of bad press over the strap detachment issue when they moved some production to Korea (I think?), and never really recovered.
