    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:

    Think it, be it.

      I was just travelling and thinking about a roller, wondering about 4 vs 2 wheels.

        @Nik 4 all day. The fact that I’m replacing a bag I love says it all. It’s just easier if you’re schlepping multiple bags (and even if you aren’t) to deal with spinners. It’s lightly put you hand on it and walk versus drag something behind you. No comparison.

        Two wheel’s main advantage is its relative compactness. And generally more robust, but I’m not worried about that.

        Think it, be it.

          @mclaincausey makes sense. I like the look of the rolling thunder north face, having used their base camp duffles for the last twenty years.

            @Nik one of my favorite bags I own is a 110L Ortloed dry duffel and it’s a two wheeler and also can be worn as a backpack. So it just depends on intended use. Spinners can be pretty lousy if you’re going over cobblestone and other uneven surfaces. But for normal business travel and traveling with the family and several bags I felt like this was what I needed.

            Think it, be it.

                Carryology and Trakke have announced a revision of their Muir backpack. There's a design article on Carryology for those who like overcooked prose, and it'll drop on Thursday this week.

                It comes in olive and black. There's also a translucent special edition that will probably sell out in thirty seconds when it drops and later be flipped for an excessive amount on eBay.

                Muir III Black

                I thought that the first version was overdesigned, but this one isn't as crazy, unfortunately. Also, Lochcarron were booked out for the year, so they couldn't do another run of orange tartan.

                  Another week, another Carryology collaboration. This time it's with Matador, and it's packable 22 litre backpack that weighs in at about 370 grams / 13 oz. The design article has been posted, and the bag goes live on Monday.

                    Not bad! My 1.5 bag is a packable XPAC Triple Aught duffel, but this would be more comfortable even if it’s taking a hit on capacity.

                    Think it, be it.

                      I think that it could be useful for one bag travel, never mind this 1.5 bag nonsense. 😁

                      Domestic Australian airlines have a weight limit of 7 kg for carry-on which is generally enforced. It's not like the US where everyone boards with a roller case, a backpack as their personal item, a purse, and a couple of carrier bags full of miscellaneous stuff that they picked up enroute to the airport.

                      I've used my Verbockel a few times as an only bag, but the problem is its weight. The Matador will be at least a kilo lighter, but it's also a bit smaller than a cinched down Verbockel, and I'm not sure if I could cut my packing list enough to make it work.

                      Anyway, I'll see what it costs when it drops on Monday. I might be tempted.

                        @Graeme hey if you can fit 22 liters for one-bag travel, more power to you. For me it’s either EDC or 1.5, simply lacks the capacity to be a travel bag and probably makes too many compromises for packability to be an EDC.

                        It sounds like you just need the VX VerBockel 😉 it’s a great one-bag at 32 liters.

                        Think it, be it.

                          @mclaincausey Defy are currently working on a version of the Verbockel with a pair of their Ultimate Straps. There have been a few stories on Instagram mentioning the project, and I'm curious to see how it turns out.

                          I think that the Matador bag might be a bit small for me, however the box created by the dimensions has about 10% less volume than a cinched-down Verbockel. Depending on the patternmaking, it might work for me for minimalist travel.

                              A much more sensible daypack for work.

                                30% discount so might as well buy it new.

                                          Found someone selling a Porter Yoshida messenger bag on FB marketplace yesterday, went to pick it up and they mentioned they had just moved to Nashville after living in Japan for a couple years. Said he had a bunch more to list, and let me look through them all. Snagged a backpack, cordura/leather laptop bag, shoulder bag, and small strap wallet bag.
