        Yeah G got me to look at Ortlieb singing their praises and I got a 110L dry duffel that is simply incredible. The robustness of the tarpaulin and seam sealing, excellent ergonomics, functionality, and the wheels just glide. It’s incredible. I’m nowhere near needing service on it but good to know it’s there if I ever need it.

        Got the 110 l duffel myself, but then realized that it is so long that I had to drop it in oversized luggage twice already....

          not true, but you'll never know since you cannot understand Loriot e.g.

            I ordered the Peak Design Travel Duffel 35l as well. Chose it for the 4 outer pockets, the multiple carrying options and got it with two packing cubes (small & medium) which will fit exactly on the bottom of the duffel. Think it will nicely pair with the DSPTCH Utility Tote, and either together, or just one of them can work as carry on luggage.

              My plan is that I used my Ortlieb carry-on with the DSPTCH utility tote....

                  That happens with my 140, but on the basis that I often have to travel with a rod or ski tube, I have to go to oversized luggage anyway.....

                      I’m a huge Ortlieb fan. Have their waterproof roll bags in three sizes and they are all I take on multi-day bike trips.
                      I’ve started having probs with their buckles. Three have partly broken and, although still usable, they are a hassle to unbuckle.
                      Next trip I plan on getting a dozen spare buckles. These things will outlast me.

                      The journey is the objective.

                                  When it arrived, the box it was in was beyond small and weighed the square root of fuck all, I could not believe it contaned an actual bag. And that was with the shoulder strap which I probably wont use that much, the way I intend to use it...

                                    @Giles I love dyneema. The weight and low profile of the fabric is a game changer. My wallet is dyneema so that it’s like I’m not carrying anything.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      I picked up a Loyal Strickin rucksack in camouflage print Caravaggio suede from their Black Friday sale, after a recommendation by @Anesthetist.

                                      Loyal Stricklin Rucksack

                                      It's the polar opposite of the DSPTCH Dyneema bags that everyone has been acquiring recently. (@Giles your blue one looks great.) The rucksack feels like indestructible. It's made of a thick leather, the straps are double-thickness Chromexcel, and everything is riveted down. I reckon it would survive the Zombie Apocalypse with little more than patina.

                                      The only downside is that the opening is a bit tighter than the body, due to a pair of riveted tabs at the top of the seams. My usual packing cube doesn't fit. I'll probably get a couple of Evergoods Transit Packing Cubes, which are slightly smaller, and should fit in.

                                        Thinking this could be a good pack for a carry on, first to be used on a 12 day multicity Japan trip, thoughts?

                                          @Nik it looks about the right size to fit into the carry on box, and it isn't heavy, so I think that it would work. I'd also consider the thirty litre version.

                                          Outside of the US, there are often weight limits on what you can bring onto the plane. For example, Qantas has 10 kg (22 lbs) for domestic flights, and 7 kg (15 lbs) for international. I've had bags weighed to ensure compliance. Going smaller and lighter helps, as you carry less stuff, and the backpack also weighs less. But check your carrier's requirements.
