Luggage Bags and Packs

Nice @cole. I have the same bag and it's super nice but is also pretty heavy even empty.

Yes, it is heavy. I have the feeling that this backpack weights as much empty as the backpack of my wife fully loaded. But in its defence I must say even when it is loaded it never feels heavy when worn. On the other hand I have to admit I never made any long hikes with it.

Yup, the TAD fast pack litespeed. -
After seeing Gile's Stormfront bag, I thought I'd treat myself to one of there roll top backpacks.
I'm no fisherman, so it will be used on the bike.
Bright and waterproof…perfect.

That older model seems a better design. Getting into the inside pocket is a bit of a pain on the new.

Interesting that the same amount of research yielded such radically different results.

Anyone have experience with the Outlier Rolltop Dopp? I already have a leather Dopp, but want this more as a flight bag.

Looking for a new bag and the Millican Duffle (https://www.homeofmillican.com/products/the-mavericks-miles-the-duffle-bag-28l-slate) caught my eye. I need it to be a real allrounder; work, commuting (bike and train) and weekend travels. Something substantial that can take a beating. Millican - Yay or Nay? Other recommendations within the same price range (150-200 USD)? Easy to use and not too "technical". Been rocking the IHE-01 for seven years now.

I have their shoulderbag "Mavericks" and beeing happy with it.
Enjoy ya addiction!

Finally got myself a duffle bag I've been wanting. Love it!

My sister is a big fan of the Millican bags, so I don't think that you'll have any problems with it.
If you're looking at alternatives, I really like the Nigel Cabourn Hand Cannon. It's not up on their website, but Pickings and Parry have product details. At $400 (US), it is a lot more expensive than the Millican alternative. I prefer it in grey, and really want one.
Velomacchi offer the Hybrid Duffle Pack, which has the same price point as the Cabourn. It's been designed for use on a motorcycle, useful if you ride.
At a cheaper price point, there's the Low Alpine AT Kit Bag. I took a look at these before I flew back to the UK, and was very tempted. A local shop back in the UK had them on sale, and I should have grabbed one.
I've taken a look at the Mission Workshop bags, and they're good. The Transit Duffle has a backpack harness accessory, but I'm not convinced that it'll carry well. The bag sits with the base against the back, and sticks out a fair way, which doesn't look that stable or comfortable. Prices start at $245.
And if you want to spend far too much, I'm a bit in love with the Lotuff Duffle Backpack. Shame it costs $1200…
Lastly, Tom Bihn do a number of convertible travel bags, which might work for you.
Alternatively there are a number of convertible tote bags around. I like the SSCY Tack, though I'm not sure how well they'll carry. Price is $199.
Chapman bags did a nice one (you can still find them on Amazon Japan in various colours and prices), Cabourn have a leather and canvas one coming, and Kletterwerks / Mystery Ranch offer them.
