Luggage Bags and Packs
-
Very pleased to hear that the consensus on Master-Piece is positive, just hoping the wife likes it. I guess worse case, I’ll keep it and she can have my old bag lol.
@Cutlasshound the one I bought was massively reduced on SSENSE. With shipping was just north of £100, which seemed like a steal. Will see if I get hit with import charges.

@Anesthetist thanks. You can have them customize it if you like as well. For example they can add a luggage handle pass through or a fourth zipper.
I think a Hero hook or similar is a good accessory to have handy since it doesn’t have a flat bottom to sit on.

Update on the Bradley Mountain Wilder.
I love this bag!! I’ve been hiking with it all summer on day trips. Taken it to the Italian Alps and numerous fishing trips here in Colorado and Wyoming. I’ve began collecting patches from the places I’ve taken it and sewn them to the bag. It’s a gorgeous and rugged bag and I’ve been having a ton of fun putting it to work. Finally got it all sorted for use with my fly rod too!!

Is anyone owning a Filson dryden backpack? I'm considering getting one. How is your experience with it?

I recently started using the Ortlieb Duffle RS 110 L. Bought partly due to recommendations from this thread. Overall great bag, but was unpleasantly surprised that the bag is so long and wide that both Copenhagen and Athens airport require it to be checked in as odd sized luggage. This sucks a bit, in particular since it is not consistent (odd sized from Athens, but delivery with the normal luggage). Let's see if this is a general issue...

Other than it getting lost for 7 days due to some fuckery I won’t get into, we had no issues flying to Croatia by way of Frankfurt and back with our 110L and none as a domestic checked bag in the states.

I have that issue with my 140's but not yet with the 110's....

@the246guy I have an old Filson bag-30+ years- but their quality has gone down since some hedge fund snatched them up
-
@steelworker I get that. Learnt that the dryden is not made in the US, but still I could not find something similiar. Hope the dryden lasts longer like my 257 case.

Anyone with experience of Topologie? I noticed a collaboration with Distance Running Store of Paris/Lyon and it seems interesting.

This has been on my radar for a while but I finally committed. Arrived today and first impressions are very positive. It’s a shame photos don’t really show the heft of the lining or the feel of the leather.
The dust cover and little pot of wax are nice touches.

Rofmia bag incoming!

I have a Barnes and Moore roller buckle belt - superb quality for a reasonable price imo

Here she is in all her glory! After several months waiting for a restock, it finally happened. Luckily shipping was super fast and I will have the chance to load it up all weekend. Also arriving today was an Evergoods CAP2 in undyed. I think they match aesthetically, although in hindsight the CAP will take up a bit of space. Will have to play around and figure it out.
The packaging is beautiful:
Kaboom!
Next to it’s new brother, Nomin V1

You dig it @Anesthetist ? I think the little details show up in usage that have made me so fond of it.
I got the type an and type b expansion and they are going to be great for a trip to India soon. Either on this or my defy bag. They way they made the connectors they will fix in place on any strap or molle points.
Fidlock and aqua guard access. They have lanyards to wear independently if needed and are very thin and flat so you could stow them in their bag and add capacity as needed.
Also got this cable and electronics organizer to complete the set. Seems made to slot into the top interior pocket in the main compartment.
Love it!
EDIT I realized I didn’t have the attachments on in the optimal config and fixed it. Glasses case vertically oriented with the fidlock closure now. The side zipper is a different pocket and the glasses case lined with a soft mesh. My JMM Walkers in their case just barely fit just in case other Mage wearers ever get one.
The chest pocket is so expandable and will be perfect for a passport and phone. Combined with the retractable iPod pro case thing this is EDC tech wear nerd-vana

I DEF dig it and already have emptied my other bags to get it organized. I will have to take a look at those add ons, I love to add more modularity to a bag. Also considered one of Outlier’s magnetized snap on kits for a strap. Thanks again for all the recs and help!
