Luggage Bags and Packs
-
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.

That looks great, I need to check his website out.

Nice Ant. I've been eyeing the Grip #1 for a while.

that bag from the colonels is proper "rude boy" @Anesthetist - its a real belter of a bag !

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.

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.
Couldn't agree more. Absolutely love mine.

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.

A lot of the carriers in Oz only allow hand luggage that meets the 105 cm size for domestic flights, which means it has to fit into 48 cm x 34 cm x 23 cm.
I said earlier that the Kletterwerks packs are a bit small, but their Summit Daypack measures in at 46 cm x 33 cm x 20 cm, which would sit nicely in the 105 cm box. They list the size as 1100 cubic inches, about 18 litres, but I think that it's going to be closer to 30 if the measurements are accurate.
It also comes in a vibrant shade of red…

And how's the GoRucker's doing out there? Haven't heard about GoRuck for what feels like forever now..
Still use my GR1 on a regular basis. Absolutely no complaints…
That being said, I kinda want to pick up one of Archival Clothings packs, as I absolutely love my Field Bag by them...

Great beach or pool bag.

These may not be as impeccable as some of the previously posted bags, the Project LUV Seat bags are sorta cool, nonetheless.
-
Fredrik Packers build messenger bags and backpacks in Japan.
I rather like their Lightweight Backpack.

An update on my Tom Bihn Brain Bag. I took it to India with me last month, and the bag is still a royal pain in the ass. Bag still feels cheap, zipper constantly catching with the bag cover on all pockets. Straps are crazy sized.
Really tempted to throw away and cut my losses, however, would need another work travel bag, and that I don't have :|.
-
^That's no good. So you are still looking around for a replacement. If I remember correctly you have to have a backpack, right?
-
Great beach or pool bag.
Nice. I am sure it is a versatile bag. Don't you also have the other version with the pals webbing on the front?
I have a Bagjack NXL coming my way. I am really looking forward it.

Yeah, I have a much larger version that I installed a Bagjack laptop sleeve into as well. Their stuff is awesome.
