      Anesthetist, can you comment to the comfort of the leather straps on Teranishi when loaded up/heavy? The more I look at the Venture the more I like it, but it's a lot of money to drop if it won't be comfortable when loaded and I'm trying to walk a distance. If the lack of padding has never been an issue, that will help make my decision a bit easier.

        @DougNg:

        I've owned TAD FAST Packs since they came out with Gen 1. Solid packs, though I don't carry them anymore. I'm not a big fan of having MOLLE on the outside of my pack.

        I like my Lightspeed & Dispatch well enough but for the size they are a bit heavy.

        This is why I switched over to Vertx bags. They have similar functionality, but a lighter weight (but still durable enough) material. That and they don't scream "tactical" unless I want it to.I'm all for heavy duty stuff because it's cool, but when I'm on the move, "ounces equals pounds, pounds equals pain".

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          I do like the heavy duty stuff, just like my jeans ;). I never really noticed the extra weight negatively. I've had lighter weight packs, but my luck has been lighter weight = less durable zippers, weaker stitching, less padding for laptop, etc…

            Sorry but I have the tear drop which has padded straps. Send me a PM and I'll send you some pics.

              @graeme I'm sorry I missed your last post. In my pic, the larger bag is the D3 duffle, the smaller is the field kit. SDR got me hook, line, and sinker.

              I should have charged a finders fee 😀

                I have nothing to add except that these guys are spot on. I have bags from Teranishi and Bedouin but as people have mentioned they are warm and can shed wax.

                My wax canvas Defy Verbockel gets quite warm and sweaty in the Australian summer, so I'd second what @Anesthetist says, though I haven't had any problems with wax shedding.

                I think that the best waxed canvas rucksack was probably the Alite x Boreas collaboration, which mounted a retro pack onto a modern suspension frame. Unfortunately they're sold out, and possibly discontinued. 😞

                I didn't realise you had the duffle as well. You're as bad with bags as you are with wallets! 😉

                        I saw the Teranishi Venture at the Carryology Store a few months back, and it's a really nice piece. I'm tempted by one myself.

                        Enjoy!

                          If anyone else is eyeing up the Outlier range, here's a 16% off discount code, valid until the end of the year:

                          NoReturns,NoRefunds,NoExchanges

                          It was posted to the Outlier subreddit earlier today.

                          I'm tempted by the Quadzip, and Dufflepack. @Anesthetist might want to take a look at the Double Action Strap, as I think that a few people have used them as upgrades for the SDR Traveller.

                            Thanks for the code Graeme, I might get a set of the straps. One my only problems with the D3 is that in backpack mode, it can be a problem getting the bag on my shoulders. There isnt a lot of space and my arms get caught which makes the straps shift which is a real pain. Once it is set up, it's great but it is a real chore.

                              I was thinking of getting the Quadzip and a couple of flat packs with the code, but it worked out as a $60 discount, which was pretty much wiped out by $50 in shipping. I don't need a backpack desperately at the moment, so I'll pick one up at a later date, ideally when I'm in the States.

                              The other temptation was the J. Panther Ventile RucTote, but Well Dressed Dad's Review suggested that the straps might be a bit short to wear it as a backpack. I've met Nick, and he's a bit shorter than me, so I think that it would be a problem.

                              Ah well, off to save up for the Bole rucksack. 😛

                                  Great thread, this.

                                  I am leaning towards the Bedouin Delireis rucksac as my next daily bag and am waiting for restock of the khaki colour before heading over to the shop to check it out in person. Another bag that I like the look of is the Collected Works military duffle rucksac. Has anyone seen or own one? I wonder if it might be too large for a day-to-day bag.

                                    Tokyobikes in Shoreditch have the Delireis in store I believe, as does Kinoko Store (who once again have a bricks and mortar store in London). You could also consider the Bedouin Foundry Pequod, which looks pretty decent.

                                      The Delireis is quite a small bag, so you might want to consider the Ottoman instead. If you're in London, you could always pop down to the Bedouin store.

                                          @C64 the size of the Collected Works Duffel is 19" x 12" x 6". That's on a par with a large daypack, such as the Topo Designs Klettersack. It works out as a 20 to 25 litre backpack.

                                          I'd second visiting Kinoko, they've got a selection of interesting bags. I like the look of the Suolo Nappasac and South2 West8 Trek Pack.
