      In the cars defence, I'm not sure that keeping water out was top of the design criteria…..

      No… that's for sure. Created to have fun driving on lovely country roads. Who needs a waterproof car if you have Barbour Jackets...

          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.

          Think it, be it.

            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.

              Ortlieb's is used by lots of cycling couriers down this way for it's bullet-proofness and no need to look after. Gets my vote there.

                  I have a duffle rs 110… these are super versatile bags to travel with. Easy with the wheels at train stations, airports.... and can be carried as a rucksack in more adverse conditions (hmmm... correct term?) and then of course waterproof

                    Adverse works….

                    The wheels are actually a little oversized, so they are pretty good on rougher terrain....

                                  I'd prefer the Midship in Dyneema. I suspect that it might happen.

                                    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.

                                        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!

                                            Did you manage to pick one up in the end?

                                            Pretty sure the essential difference is the type of nylon that is used (tanker series uses the same type twill as the ma-1 jackets).

                                            If you are still in the market for one then I would recommend going on Porters Japanese website, as there are so many more styles available generally.
