      @Graeme @mclaincausey I was intrigued by the MW Mars bag made for Nasa and told my wife how much I would love to have one in a day bag size. I guess I fell for the all too convenient story feeding into a collab, but I guess it worked. I ended up pre ordering and HOPE it shows up for our London trip in July.

      As for carryology and their writing… it’s completely obnoxious and it is incredibly inconvenient. I find myself having to read it all 3-4 times to figure out wtf he is talking about.

      Anyone get the sling?

        @mclaincausey reminds me of that SouthPark episode where everyone smelled their farts out of a wine glass 😂

          @Anesthetist …good reference! I was also thinking about the Seinfeld episodes and the Peterman catalogs.

              @mclaincausey This made me chuckle! Couldn’t be truer 😂😂😂 Not quite as bad as Vollebak though

                I love those Patagonia slings too. I have a black one, and now so does my girlfriend because she liked mine so much. Yes, we look super cool together.

                      @Anesthetist I'll be interested in hearing what the NASA bag is like when it arrives. Mission Workshop make nice gear.

                        Normally I use the term rabbit hole on here, but…In the case of Volleback I’m going to use wormhole, bending space and reality. Never heard of them before and am checking out their site.

                          @goosehd I bought the gen1 Solar off their clearance rack so it is a little large on me but can fit over layers and can cinch down a little. It unfortunately isnt very breathable so it is surprisingly warm for being so thin. It does glow like a son of a gun after even a few min of sunlight,

                            @Anesthetist what a wormhole… 🙂 I didn’t know that these kinds of materials were being used in clothing. It’s fun to look through, but the prices are kind of crazy (understatement)…

                            It would have to be on clearance to make that kind of leap, although at one point I said the same of IH.

                            How is the fit and finish? Worth it at sale prices?

                                @goosehd I will take some pics and make a Vollebak thread to keep this one clean.

                                Overall I think it is a very cool jacket with a neat party trick. Innovative and creative? Yes. Will it outperform goretex? I dont think so.

                                But….is it meant to? I think it’s just a fun, weird niche coat more intended to make people stare.
                                Volleback is a weird company. On one hand they make incredibly hard wearing gear, but on the other they make things to make you look like a butterfly or lightning bug. I guess it all fits under the umbrella of pushing the envelope, but it’s a bit odd and confusing to me.

                                  Now you're making me regret not getting one! 😁

                                  I've seen a few MW bags, both in the (long-departed) Carryology Store in Melbourne and at their workshop in SF, and they look very well made. I don't think that you'll be disappointed.

                                    MW is awesome. I’d love one of the NASA bags myself if I had a use for it.

                                    For Berlin, it was Defy VerBockel carry on with Rofmia chest glasses case and pouch attachments, 110L Ortlieb dry duffel checked bag, and a bunch of other bags for the rest of the family.

                                    My only remaining bag want is a four roller carry on. I love my two wheel Briggs & Riley but need a 4 wheeler.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                            I want a 4 wheel spinner carryon including a suit hanger for brief business and other trips. I love my Briggs & Riley but it’s a two wheel and can be a hassle because of it.

                                            Took a hard look at a Briefing model and almost went that route, but ultimately the functionality and warranty of Briggs & Riley won out again. I like that the bottom is flat and that they have a compression system that minimizes wrinkling. They just have such intelligent designs that they outclass everything else for my needs and as a buy it for lifer I appreciate the warranty and their scale to be able to reliably service it. So this beauty is on its way here to land Sunday, for a maiden voyage next week:

                                            In unrelated news, Rofmia are launching a version of their amazing Daypack v2 (my favorite EDC bag) in leather-bonded Dyneema. I would expect this to carry an outrageous price tag:
