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.

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…
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…
Hyperlite Mountain Gear 3400 Southwest Pack :: Drive By
…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. It’s great for keeping the bag streamlin…
Berlin Muse :: The Tanner Goods DOPP: A toiletry bag is so much more than a toiletry bag.

The Hunt for the Perfect Bike Bag
…ssengers to refer to. 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…

…luding one from us. They feature it prominently on their Atmos/Aura series bags and from now, all Atmos/Aura bags will come with AG standard. They are also pushing the AG technology into other packs such as their baby carrier (Poco Plus available Spring ’16) and a daypack. We tried the Atmos on and it honestly felt like there was nothing on you. The hipbelts hug your waist and the bag feels like it’s floating off your back. Apparently, it took the…

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…
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…
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…
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…

I must say I loved bagjack gear before I got the amazing opportunity to collaborate with them. The Sniper Bag that was released last year comes with so many features I might forget some…amongst them the integrated/removable soft shell muff is definitely amazing. The MOLLE webbing is also a nice feature, mo…
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…

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…

So when selecting the best sneakers, runners, or shoes you want a pair that can do it all.

…neteenth, early 20th century. (Editor’s note: I’d kill to own one of these bags!) Sashiko Stitched Bag (again, not the actual name of the product, but a name used by Sri for internal reference use). This bag is constructed exactly like the “kaki shibu bag”, above. It is constructed of home spun and hand woven indigo dyed cotton, it’s lined with the same.

I’ll keep these pouches stashed in the front zippered pocket of the bag…

DEFY Insidious Jr. Sling Review
…tents will be protected and that will last a lifetime. Who It Doesn’t This bag is not for someone who is looking for a bag for work or school. Even in the most plain finish, the black ballistic nylon, this bag would not pass in an office space. In my opinion, the material is too textured with a sheen that can’t pass in a professional capacity. Due to the volume, it would not hold a lot of books or school supplies so it probably would not be ideal…

…s the luggage didn’t remain upright and would tip over forwards. My flight bag is approximately 6 inches/15cm. Thinner laptop bags wouldn’t have this issue. Because of this reason it isn’t practical for me to use for work purposes in the future. The main handles by which to lift the bag are particularly useful, there’s two on the top and one on the side. I’ve filled the bag as tightly packed as possible and with some heavy objects. These handles a…
