Tell us what you really think?

He's not wrong though. Seems rather excessive even for the market it's aimed at.

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.

Ouch

That is very often my tought when I see Cabourn Products, I like the Designs but the pricing seems a bit of sometimes, especially for the not made in UK Libro Line.

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'??

[Giles]

"Jonesing"
To have a strong need, desire, or craving for something

But, I'm not any more…... :o ::)

Ironic that it comes in black, but not white.

[Giles]

I've gone for red….

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

Too mall ninja? Tacticool faux-pas?

looks good to me, but I'm a bag-whore so I think I'm biased

You and me both. I've been a bag-whore since earning my Koolaid man hip bag with Koolaid points back in the 80s. However, I've slowed down because I can't stand owning too much stuff (my bags are already stored like Babushka dolls). I'm actually culling the herd right now…

Imo would look better with some of the Bagjack pouches, the HNTR pouch springs to mind but only because of the colour. Aoku also do some cool looking ones that are of a similar aesthetic.

I notice that a lot of traditionally "tactical" brands are moving towards not using MOLLE on their packs to avoid the mall ninja look. I think people in that space are really tired of the MOLLE look. I personally don't own anything with visible MOLLE except my chest rig and plate carrier.

"Nice backpack, what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a travel agent, but it's high speed low drag"

I can understand why people would want to move away from MOLLE, but it seems like we're going to lose some interchangeability and customizability, which is a shame.
