Luggage Bags and Packs
-
I stumbled across this backpack on Farfetch the other day, but it was expensive, and has now sold out. But it's popped up on sale elsewhere, and it's quite tempting.
That said, something like the Lotuff Leather Duffle Backpack or a Frank Clegg backpack will probably be better made.

The Nomin has been on my list for a while. A Visvim beat it last time but I might have to get one when they release the fall version.
Anyway, here is the new SDR dyneema tote:

This is my current daily, fancy something different with an easy access pocket for my camera but we’ll see.

Now I am annoyed…..
I have absolutely no need to carry around a mill in cash, nor do I need to minimise the risk of radio frequency tracking, but I want one of these so much

Not today perhaps, but who knows what the future may bring? Buy one now and you’ve just prepared yourself for all sorts of eventualities. It’s just sensible, Boy Scout forward planning.
I’m sure Paula would agree….

@David_pll When looking for a new Backpack def consider Ortlieb -> https://www.ortlieb.com/en/rucksack/
I own one of their Bike Backpacks for a couple Years now, no signs of wear at all, solid as a Rock, waterproof and Made in Germany.

I can't decide if their website is completely tongue in cheek and poking fun at the mall ninja types, or if they're just full of horseshit.
But I still want one of the bags…

SDR Traveller's parent company Studio D Radiodurans is a research consultancy, but they're a bit vague on what they do.
They're either really cool or really pretentious. Probably a bit of both.
I like their bags too.

Yeah, I spiraled down the rabbit hole trying to figure out who they are and what they do, and it just gave off a weird "I'm not a CIA agent, but I play one on the internet" vibe.

Read William Gibson’s Bigend trilogy and specifically the last book «Zero History» for an interesting take on the intersections between espionage, the CIA, marketing, military procurement, mall ninjas and in fact, obscure denim labels. He uses the term «gear queer» which always makes me laugh (not least at myself).

@DougNg @Graeme sorry for not responding sooner but that travel/work thing got in the way…
I picked up the new version of the Nomin after fondling a friend's v1. They made some design changes in both the fabric (smooth facing vs. ripstop) and overall design (thicker shoulder straps, eliminated side carry handle, interior layout, etc.). I contemplated the grey for a hot second before settling on the black.
Extremely lightweight, no fuss interior that I feel simplifies things, is surprisingly spacious yet sleek at the same time. I also love that it doesn't have logos or anything plastered everywhere so it's very discreet. On my first flight using it a gentlemen in my row immediately asked about it before I had even sat down. Only thing I would like to see is a pass-through for a suiter handle but definitely a minor issue and possibly detracting from the aesthetic Arc'teryx was going for anyway.

@Giles While it may leave you $107,000 short, I have one of these Burn Bags that Defy made for Ural Motorcycles. My go-to weekender bag and tough as nails. Also used it on the back of my bike when I still had one.
