          The Carryology Store is now open in Fitzroy, Melbourne. If you are a bag addict, then I highly recommend that you avoid it.

          I had a good look around this afternoon, and it's got all the usual suspects, and a few more unusual ones too. From their current line-up I liked:

          • Bedouin Foundry Pequod

          • Mission Workshop VX Fitzroy

          • Mission Workshop Acre Hauser

          • Cote&Ciel Isar Backpack in grey leather

          The one disappointment was that they didn't have the Trakke Assynt in stock, though there were a few of the messenger bags.

          The shop has its official opening on September 8th, and there should be a few more things in stock at that point.

            It looks amazing! I didnt like the look of the Pequod at first but it has grown on me considerably.

              It's a great shop @Anesthetist, but it could destroy my savings.

              The Pequod looks interesting. However I saw on Bedouin's Tumblr that a new version of the Ottoman, the Delireis's big brother, is coming. That might be another option.

                  There's a piece on the Carryology Store in the Sydney Morning Herald today. It talks about the approach they've taken, and how they've made the jump from online to offline.

                      I'm in the market for a high-quality no-frills 20 litre backpack for daily commuting/utility use - happy to pay a little more for real quality.  Is the Goruck GR1 still the default choice?

                        I am sure kifaru is an alternative @Bill C . A friend rocks one since two years.
                        But I guess you are in Europe, custom consumes the glory  :(.

                          @Bill C also consider:

                          • Trakke Assynt 28 (£10 off at present with code SCOTLOVE)

                          • Teranish Venture (Currently sold out)

                          • Bedouin Foundry Delireis, Ottoman, and Pequod

                          • Defy Bucktown, Theodore, and Verbockel (Promo code DEFYFAMILY)

                          • Mission Workshop Sanction VX

                          • Mystery Ranch Kletterwerks Flip Pack, or one of their military bags

                          • Tanner Goods Wilderness Rucksack

                          I've seen products by all of the manufacturers, and they seem solid.

                          Bedouin fans should note that the Ottoman has just been released, and is a larger version of the Delireis. Had it been out a year ago, I'd have bought one.

                          I've currently got a Defy Verbockel. I don't entirely get on with it, but I haven't found anything that I'd prefer. If you go that way, I'd suggest the Cordura model, as it'll be a metric tonne lighter. 😛

                          If you're in the UK, End Clothing had the South2 West8 Trek Pack on sale, but I've just checked and it's just gone. Kinoko have it in, but at full price. I was very tempted by End's.

                          Lastly, the Lotuff Canvas and Leather Backpack is on sale at less than half price. It looks really nice, but I haven't seen one close up. I'm also tempted…

                              Check out the Mystery Ranch offerings. Great quality.

                              Also, the Tad gear litespeed is excellent in my book.

                              I have multiple offerings from both of the above and they are excellent.

                              Also worth looking at Bagjacks packs.

                              There is also Lexdray, but having handled one. I am not a fan for the price.

                                Fresh out of the box, I am amazed how light it is. The quality is apparent and I can't wait to take it out for a spin!

                                      SDR Traveller Field Kit #2 Higashiyama:

                                      Basically a minimalist Dyneena packing cube that converts to a daypack with a seatbelt material strap with 2 Petzls.  It's super functional when packing and weighs almost nothing (bag is 4.6 oz). After the first wear it started feeling less like Tyvek and more like a soft slingbag. I am really happy with my SDR set so far [emoji106]

                                        And the Old Joe Alpine Backpack, also at Phaeton.

                                        I don't know anything about the brand, but the bags look cool. I particularly like the primitive knapsack. Unfortunately they've pretty expensive (about ¥65K to ¥68K)… 😞

                                          @Anesthetist's SDR bags look good, and I'm tempted by the Outlier Ultrahigh Duffle, which is a similar concept.

                                          According to the blurb, it can expand from fifteen to fifty litres, which should cover most bases. If the Molly sternum strap fits, then it might be stable enough to wear on a motorcycle too. (The one issue I have with Outlier is that they do very limited runs of goods.)

                                          The last run was done as a collaboration with Boreas, and used their Super Tramp frame. That would have carried really well, and I regret not getting one.

                                          The Ultrahigh Quadzip might be a better alternative, but I think that the triangular cross-section would limit its usefulness.

                                            That duffle also looks really good, probably a bit more versatile than the SDR.
