Nomadic Research TTL Travel Bag 38L Review
…spiritual successor to the out-of-production Triple Aught Design Meridian 40L bag. From the covert aesthetic, VX21RS exterior, similar capacities, and 3-way carry – the TTL takes those cues and applies Nomadic Research’s take on what a travel bag should be.

…satisfy your carry and gym needs. Versatility You’ve probably heard of one-bag travel. There’s no reason you can’t apply that philosophy to your gym carry. A bag that serves as both a work and gym bag means greater carry freedom. And if you don’t need it for work, you could consider a bag that doubles as a gym and travel bag instead. Getting more out of your carry is awesome. – Now we know that looking for bags can be fun but time-consuming. So we…
GORUCK and Huckberry Combine to Release the GR2 Slick
…king spotless. Trustworthy Travel GR2’s are in the top echelons of the one bag travel category, and they’re fawned over by many. They come in a variety of sizes, with 26, 34, and the 40L options. However, the MOLLE webbing that you usually see on the traditional GR2’s can be a point of contention for some. While it undoubtedly provides flexibility by giving the ability to attach different accessories, it does give them a decidedly tactical look. I…

Shimoda Explore 30 Backpack: Drive By
…I was excited to pick up the Shimoda Explore 30L backpack. My other camera bag is 22L and is just a tad too small for a full day, but perfect for just a quick hike ‘n shoot. But the Shimoda 30L has the perfect amount of room that I need for the full day adventure shoot. So let’s jump in. Not going to lie, when I first opened the box I was unsure if I would like the bag. Right away the material looked cheap, but I could tell it was ripstop, so ther…

Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor: Drive By
…I didn’t think much of it when it came out, and I never considered Sierra Designs as a bag company (because they weren’t). While I have always looked up to Andrew Skurka and heeded his sage advice, the bag felt a little gimmicky. It had a wacky name and a never-before-seen compression system. Seemed like a long shot. But after using the bag this summer/fall, it looks as though I’m having crow for dinner because I’m convinced this is one of the be…

If it’s a longer two-week trip (34L), I’m stuck bringing a giant bag into work meetings and walking around the city with a monster on my back, looking like a tourist. The FORGE crushes it here. It’s a shape shifter. Packing out the bag to its maximum form with all my stuff, I’ll deploy the shoulder stra…

The last thing you want while rushing to catch a flight or getting onto public transportation is your bag to pop a zipper or have a seam rip open.
