Back To School Bags
…in a pack but the waist belt and wide straps definitely help: – The Gravis Metro rocks style and a variety of colorways, there’s loads of internal and external pockets (plus a dedicated laptop pocket), as well as adjustable shoulder straps with chest compression to help distribute the load efficiently: – The Gregory Miwok is a good option for carrying heavy loads thanks to its compression system and the wide straps and waist belt. This pack is a t…
Road Tests :: Osprey Flap Jack | Part 2
…ycling), but overall it’s a great pack for walking, cycling, or riding the metro to work. – Not suited to: Accessibility fiends: If you always need to grab something from your bag, this is not for you. The large front flap covers everything and is great for security and to keep things nice and dry but it also blocks off all your gear. The one accessible pouch is too deep to hold anything besides a water bottle in an easily reachable way. Suits: I…
Liking :: Gravis
…ed some of the modern classics (within the action sports arena) like their Metro Pack and Jetway Carry On Bag that are now copied by competitors. Who else might like it: Anyone who can identify with a love for skate/surf/travel, etc but wants something a little more quality. A little more receptive to their needs as they grow older. Where they are: Based out Orange County in California, they are part of the Burton family and as such had early begi…
Drive By :: Defy Defender Workcase
…have set up booths to entice potential companies to their respective smart metropolises. The glasses of wine they are handing out don’t appear to be hurting either. An odd robot can be seen scuttling across the room with a gaggle of camera-touting businessmen in pursuit. As a Carryologist, despite the impressive array of unique electronics on display, my eyes inevitably fall upon the expectedly drab business bags. The next black or brown bag seemi…
Carry Evolution :: YNOT Cycle Pan-Yay
…s designs. I also think my fellow Canadian Eric Au of Skinth Solutions and Metro Grade Goods is doing some really fun and interesting things. I like that he is putting so much detail into a seemingly simple product, a utility pouch, and allowing people to both customize and carry so much in such a small package. What single thing are you most proud of in relation to the Pan-Yay? What did you really nail? We’re most proud of the fact that we’re pro…

…le product. This is a women specific snowpack. Price: $77.97 Work bags The Metro is one of our all time favorites for affordable work packs. Great organising, slim profile, but with surprising room for expansion. Price: $31.98 A bit of a Jack of all trades, the Blade works well for a travelling business person looking for a versatile carry-all. Price: $104.97 And if you would prefer a messenger, there’s a great value Timbuk2. We’ve been abusing on…

They look great and big enough to carry most items. However don’t expect to be climbing Everest with it… Check out Herschel. Fashion: Backpacks in this category have the most variety of shapes.

Pocket Geeking :: SCOTTEVEST interview
…king/skimming and data collection. Chips found in credit cards, passports, metro cards and more can be hacked using remote devices that skim the RFID signals and your phone is constantly being monitored and data-sucked by the NSA. We have added a layer of RFID signal blocking material to our new products so that when you’re wearing SCOTTEVEST your stuff is hidden from pickpockets as well as virtually protected too! Most of our products have a wate…

…tch mesh pocket with a key loop – perfect for house keys, office IDs, or a metro card. On the left strap is a zippered mesh pocket for your phone or device. It even includes a well-placed pleat, meaning that this can accommodate larger items. The easy access isn’t limited to the straps though. Both bags feature an external beaver tail, the perfect spot to stow a jacket or sweaty shirt after the ride in. A mesh-lined quick-access pocket is designed…
Designing the Bellroy Shift Backpack
…roy is to use external pockets for things we need on the go (keys, wallet, metro card), and our internal pockets for things we need at our destination (work tools, toiletries, etc.). This keeps our transit smooth and our minds free to focus on things that matter (like our latest true crime podcast or page-turner). In the case of the Shift, we really stepped up the internal pocketing… We’ve developed what we call the ‘reverse tool-belt’. When you s…
