      It's a perfect gym bag @Anesthetist , great materials and the internal mesh pocket is good for dirty gym clothes. External is good for keys and such.

      Think it, be it.

        @Alex I don't know if you've found a bag yet, but Carryology posted a guide to waterproof backpacks last week.

        https://www.carryology.com/travel/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-best-waterproof-backpacks-of-2019/

        I like the Arc'teryx LEAF DryPack best, but I don't like the price. 🙂

          This post is two fold

          1. Switched my luggage out to the Pelican Air 1615 case. Pretty nice. I managed to fit an entire weeks worth of stuff in it and a laptop with no issues, and was exactly at 50.0lbs

          2. The reason why I could stick my laptop in there without worrying about it getting stolen required some experimentation. I’m nursing an ankle injury and didn’t want to have to hump two laptops in my backpack like I usually do (one is work, one is personal). I always travel with a firearm. So instead of using a lockbox in a suitcase like I usually do, I stuck the pistol in a small range bag and used the pelican as a lock box. Checked with Southwest and TSA a couple days before, and proceeded to the full service counter. Got my case inspected, locked it up with two non tsa padlocks and good to go.

          This might be my all the time setup now.

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

            Hi All,

            I need some help here - I've been looking to buy a new leather briefcase or bag and I have no idea who makes quality pieces.

            I have been told to check out the following brands:

            Ghurka
            Marcellino NY
            Mr. Lentz

            But I know nothing about this world. Please let me know who makes top quality leather bags. I'm most interested in light brown to vegetable tanned bags.

            Thanks

              @phillyforager take a look at https://www.vermilyeapelle.com/
              Never owned one of their bags but they look very good and get glowing reviews from owners on Styleforum.

              The journey is the objective.

                @phillyforager Lotuff Leather and Frank Clegg both do briefcases.

                Lotuff tend to be more modern, and I think that they use a softer leather for some of their bags. But they're possibly a bit fussier with more pockets, pen holders, and zips. Frank Clegg use stiffer and heavier hide, are generally more traditional, and tend to have fewer bells and whistles.

                    Finally got my Master-Piece lightning shoulder sling. Love the size, materials and that it’s made in Japan. I’m gonna use this at the State Fair tomorrow, so it’ll be nice not having a backpack this time. The shoulder sling looks and feels like an actual seatbelt [emoji1]

                          I see no reason not to trust the seller. They have 100% feedback and accept returns (with a restocking fee). When in doubt, contact the seller and ask questions.

                            Thanks for the answer. I noticed there is a return possibility, but since I will order it to our hotel when visiting in states I prefer not to have any hassle.

                              what about DSPTCH? i've been looking at the 3sixteen collab model. looks good, decent size.

                              I picked one of these up a few months ago and really really like it. Previously I was using a Goruck GR1. The 3sixteen/dspatch is a bit smaller but i find it more enjoyable so far. I can get pictures if need be.

                              I've even though of getting another color as a backup. [emoji23]

                              Same boat, wanted a GR1 for a while but recently picked up the Daypack by DSPTCH and it's perfect. Good size, and feels pretty well made to me. Definitely recommend it.

                                  Nice bag @Anesthetist. I like the way that Dyneema creases up.

                                  You do realise if you kept your addiction under control, you'd have been able to afford a Bole rucksack years ago? 😉

                                    I do love how dyneema creases and crumples. I have a Hauly that almost looks like leather it has so much character.

                                    And as for the King of all Rucksacks, that thought has crossed my mind [emoji23]

                                      IMO the best available but weights over 4 kg  :o
