      @redgreen the Defy and Bedouin bags are a bit different to the Mister Freedom, and probably more expensive. Tender did a backpack that was similar in some of its details, but I can't find any. The Kapital Snufkin might be another thing to look at.

      I've not seen anything badly made from Mister Freedom, and (at $159) it's not too pricey, so would probably get one of those.

      @Snowy maybe Jan Chipchase is pretentious, but sufficiently cool and interesting to actually pull it off! 😉

        Do you know anything about these guys. They had a small write up in Outside Magazine.

          Graeme,

          Oh boy… that Snufkin is really nice! too bad I can't seem to find any in stock? ill keep searching.  You are right, I have a MF blouse, and I do appreciate their attention to detail...

          Thanks again for this!

            @Sage954 I saw the Truce bags website a while back, but I've never seen them for real. The Dyneema Denim pack looks fun.

            @redgreen Pancho and Lefty and Unionmade sometimes carry the Snufkin, otherwise try Rakuten.

              What are your thoughts on this "sacoche" bag from kapital? is this unisex? doesn't say anywhere…

                It seems impractical and odd.

                So very Kapital…

                  Yeah, I'm a sucker for denim… probably a bad idea.  Back to Mister Freedom.

                    The BlueButtonShop has the Sacoche listed in their menswear section, so I'm pretty certain that carrying it would be OK. 🙂

                    It's $58 (US), so it's not going to break the bank. Perhaps order it as well as the Mister Freedom one.

                      That's for you to determine as an individual is it not?  If it says "Unisex" or appears in the menswear section of the shop/website, it does not change what it is…..

                              And Wander 20L daypack. Truthfully, I have a lot of day bags, but I wanted something light that would pack well into my SDR set. This one isnt as light as my Gossamer bag but feels a lot more durable. It is also much more water resistant and has a better strap system.
                              I also looked at Hyperlite and may buy one next time they have a sale.

                                My travel pack out is almost always the same outside of extended trips and outdoor excursions.

                                Iron Heart jeans. In this case, 14oz OD 666, other occasions 18oz vintage 666.

                                Layers. Here TFH native check over Tezomeya tee. Vegas is mild today and I'm coming home to a storm.

                                Acronym J28-E. I use this as a travel jacket universally unless weather requires a hardshell or insulated piece (usually a heavy IH piece makes the latter unnecessary). The large mezzanine pockets are great for devices such as phones and batteries and glasses cases, the small one for things like headphones and lip balm, and the lower pockets can host hands and/or anything from keys to a water bottle. This is softshell, similar to ventile but with a water resistant treatment inside the fibers (not DWR surface treatment).

                                Acronym/Bagjack 3A-5ts messenger bag. Modular/configurable, weather resistant pack with incredible ergonomics. The bag can expand and compress  according to load. Ventile-like cotton exterior face fabric with a tarpaulin main compartment that velcros in with a back pad and a pocket I use for electronics, and I added a compatible Bagjack laptop sleeve (itself with yet another pocket) as well. There are hidden exterior pockets on either side of the bag and I've attached to the extetior MOLLE webbing an Acronym pouch I use for my water bottle and a Maxpedition bag I use to carry pens and the like. Shoulder strap is adjustable and has a quick release, and there is a stabilizer chest strap as well for when on a bicycle. This is my favorite bag and I use it daily for work as well as for travel. I append another MOLLE bag with bike and tire repair tools when on a bike.

                                Briggs & Riley carry-on. Great carry-on, holds 3 suits, shoes, dopp kit, and a few days' change of clothes in addition to being compact enough to go over head in the cabin. I do wish it had 4 rotating wheels but is otherwise perfect.

                                Think it, be it.

                                        ….

                                        I have four items from SDR now including the D3, T1, field kit Higashiyama, and folio and feel like all 4 have been worth the money.

                                        I feel like an enabler, but I'm ok with that [emoji3]

                                        A big fan of my D3. Only luggage I've used for 2+ years.
