Luggage Bags and Packs
-
Been a long time since I checked in. I’ve missed this thread. I see all the similar names so none of us have been cured of our bag addiction, I know I haven’t.
-
Hey @veloaudio ! Nice to “see” you
-
@veloaudio I'm down to one backpack, and it's falling apart, so I need to get something new.
-
@Graeme I suggest the Bole Prince Rucksack
-
I’m gobsmacked that @Graeme is down to a single backpack. I’d expect him to have a closet full with his knowledge of the game.
My travel has ramped a lot and I am so loving my Rofmia.
-
@veloaudio and @goosehd I saw a Böle King Rucksack in Harrods nine years ago. It was lovely.
@mclaincausey I saw a post on the Carryology Facebook group where someone bought six fairly similar different bags. I don't get that. I'd either buy one of the six, or throw the money at Böle, Racing Atelier, or Mathias Steinhauser, and get something really special.

I have accumulated some bags I don’t use but don’t want to get rid of (like a couple Acronym messengers) but I’m with you on less is more generally speaking. Generally the ones I use (not counting hiking, skiing, or mountain biking) are my Rofmia Day Pack unless I need the capacity of my Defy VerBockel and a B&R carryon. I need a replacement checked bag at some point but I’ve found bags that make me happy.
-
@mclaincausey remind me, which Acronym messengers do you have?
-
@veloaudio 3A-1 and 5A-TS models from long ago and an attachment or two for the latter. Also added a Bagjack laptop sleeve for the latter since it pre-dates models which included them.
On balance I just like having the load evenly distributed on my shoulders.
-
Carryology have done another collaboration with GoRuck, the Kaidan 3.0.
It consists of a GR1 in 21 and 26 litres, a GR2 in 26 litres, a Bullet Double Compartment, a Kit Bag, and a Shadow Pocket. All are made from Challenge Ultra, an UHMWPE fabric.
They're releasing on 18th and 19th December at 1 pm ET.
-
Kit bag would be the only one that interests me but I'm set on my travel duffle
-
The 26L is the most interesting of those to me in theory, but it doesn’t fill a justifiable gap.
-
Jonesing for this fucker - thanks @Graeme
-
@veloaudio hey man, good to see you around these parts
-
@Giles 2300 euro tho….. hard to swallow
-
@Anesthetist doing well, hope you are

Price is steep but I've always liked the design aesthetic. I also like "weekender" they did for Art & Science in Japan.
Would be a great bag for hauling around on the boat

Yeah, won't happen. Does not stop me Jonesing

I’ve been traveling more lately and thinking that my occasional back and shoulder pain might be tied to schlepping heavy backpacks and duffles. So I looked for a made in Japan wheelie bag. Ended up with a Proteca from Ace bags. 1 trip in, so far so good.
