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

        the fact that they are not really funny.....

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

        I did mean to add, with the exception of all my hilarious German speaking friends, customers and forum members.....

          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....

          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.

                          Thank you @mclaincausey

                          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.

                                        I like my new travel gear, the DSPTCH Utility Tote Portrait Dyneema and the Peak Design 35l duffle. Very handy and enough volume for a multi-day trip.
