Luggage Bags and Packs

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.

Nigel Cabourn and (re)vision society have collaborated on this limited edition tote. If you feel the urge, there are a few left, but they're £675.

Fuck that for £675!!!!!!

I jonesing one of these, could be useful on the bike when you don't need to carry a lot….

I think that Stormfront is a very unfortunate choice of branding by Patagonia.

They look great @Giles, I'll look into one. As you say, could be perfect for when I'm not carrying much.
Ps….. What's 'jonesing'??

Ironic that it comes in black, but not white.

Carryology and Topo Designs have collaborated on a tweaked Klettersack. It's made from X-Pac, no doubt to save weight, and then fitted with a pair of (heavy) Cobra buckles.
There's a piece about it on the Carryology site, and you can pick it up from Topo.
The only fly in the ointment is the price: $349. That's about twice what a regular Klettersack will set you back. :o

Start a new job Monday which means I need a new backpack right? I’ve been searching for a wax cotton and leather roll top for a while.
Found Winter Session. Made in Denver Colorado. It’s going to get some good use
After some Obenauf’s LP
