      @Graeme:

      Oh feck, that means I'm going to have to make up my mind about a bag now! :o

      You're up @Graeme. Order placed.

      (Got in black in Australia, was $120 cheaper, and has a 100 day return policy)

        Sounds like you went shopping at Rushfaster…

        I'm leaning towards a Defy Verbockel at the moment. They're probably the ugliest rucksack in the world, but they're about the right size, and a simple sort of design. It doesn't have a sternum strap, but I think that I could fit one.

        I actually prefer the Lug, but it's probably a bit too small.

        The Makr Flap Rucksack looks nice, and is tempting. There's no provision for a sternum strap, and that might be a deal-breaker for on a bike.

        The Modern Industry Drive is one of my favourites, but is too small. However, I did ask about the now-discontinued Faraday, and apparently a new version is coming in August if all goes to plan.

        I also really like the Acronym 3A 9TS. I think that the size (approx 40 x 30 x 20 cm) could work as a small carry on, particularly with packing cubes and careful loading. But I'm not sure how comfortable it'll be to carry with a full load, or how stable it'd be on a motorbike.

            That acronym is sweet. I wonder if bagjack make a cheaper rendition.

            Think it, be it.

                @Snowy I'm disappointed with you! Perhaps order the Mission Workshop and see if you can make it work.

                Bag shopping for me is waiting until I get settled.

                  Going to re-think for a while before pulling the trigger again. Need to get this big guy back to rushfaster before I won't be able to return it :).

                    That Acronym tote bag is on eBay if anyone wants it.

                          After all the research and deliberation, I went with the Goruck GR1

                          I'm a sucker for accessories, so once I'd added a few choice extras to my basket the price started to climb and then I realised that it was cheaper to
                          buy the bundled GR1 Rucking Kit [emoji3]Having saved some money there I felt I could justify a few other bits, all of which pushed the total high enough that I qualified for free international shipping [emoji106]

                              @Snowy I've just taken advantage of the Defy sale to cop a bag.

                              Your turn, again. 😉

                              Topo Designs have just unveiled the Flap Pack, which might work for you. It's about the right size, and Cordura with a tarp lining, so it should be waterproof. No padded laptop compartment, unfortunately.

                                        I ended up with a Briggs & Riley @Work Large for a work bag, and will eventually replace my cycling backpack. Gave up trying to find one ring to rule them all.

                                          The Washington Post is reporting on the developing IATA Carry OK standard, which is slightly smaller than the current regulations. This graphic shows the new size.

                                          As far as I can gather, the initiative is going to:

                                          • Ensure that everyone's bags will fit on a plane.

                                          • End confusion between airlines imposing different size limits.

                                          • Force everyone to get a new bag. 🙂

                                          The Defy Verbockel is pretty much a perfect size for the new regime. Some of the Tom Bihn bags, in particular the Tri-Star and Aeronaut 30 also work.

                                          @Giles you might want to take a look at the sizes with regards to the upcoming IH bags.
