Luggage Bags and Packs
-
I love them. I like the fact that the Duffels and derivatives are one compartment, it means I can get a load of big stuff in easily. They are essentially soft, so they will not protect the contents as well as a Rimowa. But having said that, I use them for carting large amounts of fishing tackle and diving equipment about, not had any internal damage. We have about 9 of them, going up to 140litres, we use them for transporting large amounts of Iron Heart from show to show or for store-meets. The only one that I have managed to damage yet, is the Duffel 110 I buggered up in Madagascar, but they gave me a new one, so I'm not that bothered.
Just be aware, the 140litre ones often get treated as oversized luggage.

Agree with G. I don't personally use hardshells or luggage that is excessively compartmentalized (yes, I know those are often diametrically opposed), because I can use hard "packing cubes" if I am carrying something fragile and prefer the option of being able to squeeze something into a tight space as needed. For all practical purposes I ususally have whatever fragile stuff is with me in my small carryon backpack (the place where I do value compartmentalization and organization) anyway. The compartments I do value in luggage are places for shoes and suits.
The one thing I do like about hardshell pieces is their light weight.

I like options. We have a Rimowa travel sport trunk and three carryons. I also have the SDR traveller dyneema dufflle, and a weekender by Mismo. I would have liked another wheeled Rimowa but if the Ortleib pieces are bullet proof as they sound, we’ll be buying. I also love Redoxx but the slick fabric of the Ortleibs looks really nice.

Bedouin have produced the Pequod in Dyneema and leather.
@Cutlasshound has probably got one already.

I’d buy the Pequod and if another bag I want falls through I just might. Still in love with my dyneema Balian [emoji3590]. Bedouin just makes such incredible stuff.

Ok People, question about Porter Yoshida bags.
What is the difference between Tanker and Force Series?
Thank you! -
I dont know much about the Force collection but Tanker has been their bread and butter for a long time. But, going off of a product description on END, it appears that Force may just be a ripstop fabric versus their tanker nylon? However when I look at other images, Force looks almost identical to Tanker [emoji848] Sometimes, Porter designates a differently themed product line with similar or the same fabric by a different name. Sorry I’m not much help, but any way you go with a Porter product is a win/win. Their quality is really top notch. I think it was Heddels that did an article about them and the way they train their sewing team is INSANE!
