The Art of Vagabonding with VINJABOND
…quality and utility is on my level. OK, let’s talk bags. What’s your go-to travel bag? The backpack was the single most difficult item to choose as this is the thing I’ll be “living out of”. After many months of purchases, returns and modifications, I finally settled with the FAST Pack Litespeed from Triple Aught Design. It’s one of the most well designed backpacks ever created and has been my trusty pack for over a year through 18 countries. But…

Ojeito Go-kit Backpack Review
…pecialized system that focuses on any particular type of carry such as one-bag travel, professional photography, or that’s built to withstand the rigors of the outdoors. So durability may still be desired. At a price of $425 for the entire system, this can still be considered pricey. For those who may be in the market for both a pack and a combination of another bag such as a sling, this may be a nice all-in-one solution. The Ojeito Go-kit system…

…n flap), but the bag looks wet and those natural fabrics take time to dry. Bag Construction & Details Ok, well there are some bag geek details here… The laptop sleeve’s closing flap is constructed as a main part of the binding and construction. Hard to explain without seeing it, but it gives the laptop sleeve a really built-in and tough feel. The add on flap Velcro is on the backside. It’s a decent connection and has no major alignment headaches o…
Bags For Dads
…n the number of dads I see out and about with their kids, a feature on dad bags (or nappy bags without flowers) would make a useful blog post. — I’ve been looking around and the bewildering array of options has me overwhelmed and maybe I need a couple of bags to meet my needs, your thoughts are very welcome. I’d prefer a rucksack over a messenger bag and smaller rather than larger, but a sling bag may be an idea. I do value a grab handle on the to…
Backpack Resales: the Art of Catch and Release
…y, the EVERGOODS CPL24 in red was my quickest sale. With only 100 of those bags made that bag is on a lot of people’s wish lists and will not last long when it goes up for sale. But again, price will dictate that as well. Above: Kevin patiently waiting in his driveway for the mailman to deliver his next grail pack. This article was written by Jon Custis.

Mission Workshop Helmsman Duffle :: Drive By
…not suited for anyone looking for a traditional duffel, I mean that it’s a bag really designed for someone on the go. I found it to be a good travel companion but honestly its bread and butter is around town going on/off the front rack. That said, there were some specific things that nagged at me. I have a weird obsession with shoulder straps and handles. As noted above, the handle is genius, subtle and plain works. The adjustable shoulder strap w…
Moment x Strohl Mountain Light 45
…alight backpacker who needs to bring some camera gear on a trek, give this bag a look. Who It Doesn’t This bag isn’t going to work for you if you require a ton of built-in organization or if you need to haul an extensive amount of camera gear. It is ideal for light packers. So if you’re one to bring everything plus the kitchen sink, you’ll need to look elsewhere. Additionally, it’s not suited for daily carry or even ideally configured for laptops…
Crumpler Bike Bags Review
…, I think the only items that will stay on my bike long-term are the frame bag and the bar bag. While the other two items are well-made, they’re quite overkill for the couple of miles I ride to work and might be more at home for our bikepackers. If you’re a weekend warrior who delights in the idea of some light touring, the whole setup is definitely worth a look, while if you’re more of a casual commuter, one or two pieces might fit your bill nice…
Moment Rugged Camera Sling Review
…stable situation. One of my favorite parts about the construction of this bag is that the strap and the backing of the bag have a mesh that is not attached to the padding. This allows for good airflow and cooling while wearing the sling. Not So Good There are not too many bad things to say about this bag. It is well thought out and well built. While testing I had two very small thoughts on it. The zipper for the main compartment. When trying to…
Timbuk2 Deploy Convertible Backpack Pannier: Drive By
…of any kind, this section is filled with me accepting the downsides of the bag simply because said bag is trying to be two different types of bags. Not so with the Timbuk2 Deploy. This is one of the few bags I’ve come across that actually works in both its roles. That said, there’s still some things to nitpick. First, with this bag on your bike as a pannier, it’s going to get dirty. Sure, the bag will clean up easily enough. However it’s more of a…
Drive By :: Esperos Weekend Warrior
…me category and won’t disappoint. Verdict As much as I wanted to like this bag, I just couldn’t get into it. For one, it felt like a slightly more expensive Herschel bag without adding anything new to the mix. I applaud Esperos for their desire to give back to the world but expected more from the bag at the end of the day. Unlike say Poler’s Carry On Duffle which has an ethos of “what you see is what you get,” the Weekend Warrior constantly feels…
Recycled Firefighter The Chief Backpack :: Drive By
…desert tan. The Not So Good There’s no denying it, The Chief is a smallish bag. I’m 6’3 and I found the bag too short for my back, so short that I’m unable to photograph it without unfairly presenting the bag in a negative light. I have broad shoulders and a big chest, and I have this issue with many bags that 97% of people can use without any hindrance. Here’s a photo from the RF product page that shows a more accurate presentation. That being sa…
The Best Camera Slings in 2021
…it can be used as a photography sling and for people who want a small tech bag or a small EDC bag. The ROAM has an attachment for laptops (which I did not test, so I can’t speak to) but mixed with the pocketing and tripod pouch; this is a unique sling to consider. The bag carries well, and the strap is easy to switch up if you prefer the bag on your left or right side. One of the parts that I enjoyed about this sling was the wider back panel. Whe…
Interview with Victorinox (Part II)
…o it gets to the point where if you put the backpack straps on this duffel bag, the bag’s hanging below your bum, and you can’t walk at all. Often in suitcases and luggage you see that same thing. It’s designed at one size and then scaled. But it just stops working in certain sizes. It just falls apart. And with carry-on, that sandwich construction, you need your hotel bed to lay that open to actually get to your contents. So it’s flawed, and yet…

All bags feature front panel and mesh pockets on the outside, together with the rolltop section (that as mentioned above is secured from the main compartment with the zippered divider) and the hidden pocket below the front panel. The Compagnon Element Sling 15 and Element Backpack add on the outside: side access to the main compartment a vertical pocket (…

Road Tests :: Kata Bumblebee-222 UL
…all the main compartment zip pulls are incredibly natural for whipping the bag open and closed quickly. I wish all bags had zippers like this. Great straps The shoulder straps are bare expanded EVA foam, which feels a bit odd but definitely grips the shoulders well. So far they don’t show any signs of premature wear. The sternum straps are efficiently placed, and I appreciate the 2:1 ratio of adjustment on the waist straps (see photo below). More…
Wotancraft Rider Sling Collection Review
…think I can say that, without a doubt, this is what attracted me to these bags in the first place. As you can imagine, a lot of bags come through our hands here at Carryology – dozens upon dozens, or more, every year. So when we get the chance to check out something truly unique, something different, we perk up a bit. While the Rider slings aren’t a new release from Wotancraft, this is our first time taking a look at them, and they left us impres…

…an only be accessed through a roll-top opening. It’s great for keeping the bag streamlined and increasing the bag’s water resistance but can be a nightmare when you need to get at something in the bottom of the pack. There is also a high risk of small children being lost for days in the depths of this bag. It’s seriously big and cavernous. “The 3400 Southwest can only be accessed through a roll-top opening.

The range of carry was this: whatever was free, Dank Bags, Chrome Bags, and the kitty litter bag messenger bags my fellow school mate was selling from his alleyway garage apartment. In the end I purchased a Chrome backpack… The Falcon I think it was, or whichever bag in that family that was medium in size. I chose Chrome for its noted durability and its relatively unobtrusive “classic” look. Second problem: Proper fit After a…
