The Level Collective Scout Pack Review
…a little tweaking. However, there’s really not a lot to dislike about this bag. I think one of the main sticking points will be the price. This bag is expensive. So I think it’s important to step back and consider what you’re getting for the cost. Namely quality materials, solid handmade construction in the UK, and a lifetime warranty; all wrapped up in a versatile design you’ll get a lot of use out of. Plus you’re supporting a brand committed to…
The Evolution of the GWA Citadel
…ubtle refinements and tweaks to improve the overall user experience of the bag without completely redesigning the bag with every generation. Arguably, the most notable change between the packs comes with the redesigned shoulder straps. GWA experimented with this design update in the Short Bus and has moved to the same wider, more padded, edgeless design which overall was a good move, but with one major caveat. The straps are still lined with Tweav…

Design Heads :: Interview with Barrett Willet (REI)
…ED clip point as to not rob from the feel of the pack. Do you have a go-to travel bag? And why does it suit you? My “go-to” is whatever our travel design team needs testing. I don’t think I’ve ever carried the same bag twice during trips. I plan my piece based on the amount of downtime during transport, number of connections and tendency to travel light. For overnights and weekends I use a pilot’s helmet bag because it’s sleek and I love the two l…

…gpack, the very first item that I used from Alpine Sea Co. A versatile 20L bag, this has become one of the most used bags in my day to day life. Firstly, it packs flat, so it’s always great to keep in the car, or in the bottom of a suitcase when travelling. There are two carry options: by the handles like a tote, or a quick adjustment allows you to use it as a backpack all while using the same webbing handles, magic! This is also the silhouette t…

The “large” torso bag comes with a “large” belt, which was too long for my 32’’ waist. Gregory does offer different-sized belts, so make sure to bring it up with customer service. “I got the large and felt like the bag rode a little lower than I wanted it to.” Verdict The fit of the bag is crucial for comfort when moving through…

Or the comfort seeker looking for a nicely padded waist strap. The Good Twenty-six liters is actually quite a lot of room for a day bag. In testing, the Virga easily handled everything I would have expected to throw into it and more. The main compartment has a wide mouth, making it easy to…

Although the bag features a number of zip-up areas where you can store all sorts of things including a 13-inch laptop/tablet, wallet, phone and other essentials, these features aren’t located in areas where they are altogether accessible or convenient. This being said, the bag fits together nicely and is easy to assemble after a couple of goes. It could d…
Exclusive Release | Trakke X Carryology, The Muir Project
…k. And the lightbulb went off. Backpack + Sling = Magic As part of our 1.5-bag travel system philosophy here at Carryology, the traveler uses one primary backpack to get from point A to B. And once they’re at point B, they can leave their larger pack behind, utilizing a small agile carry solution to carry their essentials to points X, Y, and Z. So wouldn’t it be epic to combine the two? Once we agreed on this path, we firmly agreed on the followin…

My load for skating and hiking has a water bottle, snack, dog bags, wrist brace, a small Bluetooth speaker and a skate tool.

It makes the product feel complete. I personally think that when done well, magnets can really add to the experience of a bag. On this briefcase, there’s a sleeve on the outside with a magnetic closure. I use this to store my keys, the tote bag, and papers that I just…
HEX Adventure Armenia 30L Backpack Review
…a full frame camera setup or something like that, you could use this as a travel bag and live out of it for a few days. I took it on a few day trips to the mountains when I was not taking any camera gear and it functioned well. I had several days of clothing in the bag with shoes at the bottom. The side zip allowed access to the shoes without digging through the clothes. If I was back in college I probably would have used this bag on the daily. W…

…time we used the bag, but sometimes you have to stuff something inside the bag: the room inside the bag is bigger than the entrance and there’s no elasticity there, so it might take some pushin’ and shovin’. . Finally: we tested the 32-liter version and when there’s not much inside it, the bag will become a bit amorphous. This is not specific for the Spin 32 but for every larger and lightweight bag that’s near empty. “…sometimes you have to stuff…

Cotopaxi Roca Duffel Review: Drive By
…r review purposes, there are a number of more ergonomic ways to carry this bag. This bag carries primarily as a duffel but can be worn as a backpack thanks to padded shoulder straps. There are also grab handles on either end which proved extremely useful for tossing this bag into the back of cars. On either side of the bag are straps to really cinch down the bag. I appreciated this because none of my carry ever shifted around. “It survived rough b…
