There are some other photos on the Carryology Facebook page that show the Fujin as being less shiny. Apparently it picked up reflections from the studio lights, and it's more matte in real life.

I'm not sure if this is damage control, but the shiny aesthetic didn't appeal to a lot of people.

The weight is also 3.44 lbs or 1.56 kg, so slightly heavier than the base Archeon 30.

Carryology and Evergoods have collaborated on another pack, the Kludde.

It's based on the Evergoods MPL22, but it's made from ULTRA 200TX, all the hardware is aluminium, and the buckles are Cobra knockoffs. There is also a matching sling and tech pouch.

Of course, there's an overly verbose design article for your perusal, and it will be released on Wednesday at 10 am EST.

Please help me. I think I need a duffle bag that's (a) wheeled, (b) can also be worn as a rucksack and (c) has a volume of more than 50l.

Any suggestions? I know @Giles will suggest Ortliebs, which are great, and I'm atm tending towards the Patagonia Black Hole Wheeld Duffel, but I wonder if there are alternatives, and possibly cheaper options.

@endo Osprey and Eagle Creek for example.
Look here. or for Osprey here.

@endo I’ve been using the Black Hole wheeled duffels for a while now and love them. The airline bent/broke one of the wheels and Patagonia replaced it for free. Other than that, they have been issue free.

The wheeled bag can not be worn as a rucksack though…I do have the non-wheeled version and they work pretty well. The issue is that you can make them very heavy quickly and to carry it could be uncomfortable.

I have an @Alex . He can carry my Ortlieb wheeled duffel 140 as a rucsac.....

[endo]

@Aetas Osprey was not on my radar, will check. With the Eagle Creaks I'd have doubts about it's durabilty. Do you have other experience with them?

@goosehd the black holes are awesome. Mine has gone through rough trips and is absolutely intact. It's a bummer the wheeled ones don't have shoulder straps. I thought they did.

@Giles then I need to borrow @Alex

But note that they did close down, and re-opened recently under new ownership. So not sure we are talking 100% the same quality etc...

[Anesthetist]

@Tobi I thought they closed, but then saw the sale. That’s good to know.

@Anesthetist I heard somewhere that production of the new Trakke bags had moved overseas, but I don't know for certain.
