First Look: Mystery Ranch x Huckberry 2DAP
…multitude of ways. There are two Velcro piles that allow you to attach any morale patch you like. Personally, I really like the MR x Huckberry patch included with the bag, but the world is your oyster here! Load lifters, a removable waist strap, and an adjustable chest harness allow you to dial in your comfort preferences as you see fit. Don’t need a waist strap for office travel? Remove it. Like to carry your load high on your back? Raise it up….

…per talented friend Jeramy Perlman of Questionable Morality (maker of fine morale patches for all your fuzzy loop’s needs) and asked if he could create a patch design for this beast. Immediately he was down. The concept? Superior Defense’s tank logo icon and mix it with a garbage truck. Orange and black. Velcro-backed. Garbage truck with a tank turret on top. With a little cartoon angry face. And hell, let’s give the dude a bushy moustache. Yeah….
Review: GORUCK Bullet 10L
…hes are NEVER sold, only earned. I’ve attached a number of different-sized patches to this panel, including patches up to 3 in tall. It is a one-patch-at-a-time kind of pack and that forced focus fits with the rest of this cleverly designed ruck. Purchase this Pack Config designed Team Rubicon Fundraising Patch here. Duration: I’ve had this ruck for 18 months and it has proven its worth in countless ways. It’s been rucking, running, hiking, carrie…

The FLYER’S 70XX includes an exclusive patch that can be secured to a hook-and-loop panel on the front exterior pocket. Of course, you can swap this for your patch of choice to suit your personal style. The pack also comes with a removable cover if you want to opt for a clean, patch-free aesthetic.

We opted for 3 different colors of each respective patch to represent the three types of water: Green, Gray, and Blue.

First Look: EVERGOODS CHZ26 and CAP2L
…Velcro 2×2 EVERGOODS hook and loop logo patch which allows you to attach a morale patch of your choice. Personally, I love the EVERGOODS glow patch for this! The pouch is finished with a grab handle, flanked by two loops, allowing you to either attach other items or carry freely! In sum, the CAP2L has left my other pouches gathering dust on my shelf. Not because they are bad, but because it is that good. When I say good, I don’t mean that it is th…

…ir cult following. In other words, not everyone is going to have your same patch/patches. I’m usually a minimalist, and go for the clean look. But not this time. I personally dig the black on black look (though they have a variety of tasteful color options in the packs, pouches, and patches, such as Coyote Khaki, Multicam, and Foliage Green to fit your aesthetic palette) so I’m extremely happy with my Dogpatch, Mean T-Skull, and TAD Logo patches……

Filson x Ducks Unlimited Capsule Review
…best of ways. Bridle leather pulls on the YKK zippers and a leather scuff patch near the wheels add some Filson heritage to the piece, along with another understated, simple Filson x Ducks Unlimited patch. I do wish the grab handles were bridle leather though, just like on the backpack. Polo Shirt This polo shirt epitomises Filson in almost every way. When the items arrived, it was honestly the item I looked at last. However, throughout testing,…
Mystery Ranch X Carryology: The Birth of a Unicorn
…ter And finally, a nod to Mystery Ranch’s military heritage, we’d design a morale patch as seriously awesome and inspiring as the pack. It would be illustrated by Carryology’s co-founder Hadrien Monloup, and would be fun and magical and new levels of rad: a knight riding a unicorn, clutching the holy grail, his shield engraved with the fictional symbol for unobtanium (Un). Yes! After a long, coffee-fueled, in-person design meeting, we sat there s…
Greenroom136 Metromonger Prime Review
…e front Velcro panel is subtle yet grants a degree of personalization with morale patches Performance Space and Access At 10L the Metromonger offers a surprising amount of space. Mainly thanks to the generous main compartment as well as a front pocket with its independent volume. Even when the main compartment is full you can still comfortably use the front pocket. Not something many bags can claim. The top compartment and laptop compartment offe…

One patch will be included with each CPL24 backpack sold, which is the only way to get your hands on this killer collectible patch. It will never be sold individually.

…n’t expect them to stick around for long. Eric also designed the super fun Morale Patch S’tag you may have seen online. I had him make me a Black X-Pac version. It looks so good! If you’re looking for a way to show off your favorite Velcro-backed pouch but your bag of choice is Velcro-free, the S’tag is a clever, stylish solution.

…ldiers), which we had used a variation of previously on our Carryology P06 morale patch. We loved it. Even though it was brand new as part of the brand new Spring/Summer 2023 fabric collection, we just had to elevate it a step further… because… well, you know how this works by now. So we called up the fabric gurus and played with a variety of different fabrics, scaling options of the M90 pattern (both larger and smaller), and we color-swapped out…

The Gore-Tex patch is then placed on the interior face of the jacket and then using the heat sealing press, Adam uses heat, pressure, and time to ensure a perfect bond between the jacket and the patch. Of course, it’s a perfect fix leaving nothing but a small barely visible scar from the exterior. But… this is Arc’teryx… so how do we really *know* that this…

Wallets :: Baseball Gloves, Denim, Plastic.
…is little puppy. What’s happened here is our friend has ripped the leather patch off the back of their now defunct jeans, and also cut a piece of denim from the same jeans at roughly the same size as the leather patch. Then he’s stitched the two together down the sides and left an opening at the top. This leaves a sweet-looking card sleeve that is probably one of a kind? Well, we haven’t seen others… The Bus Pass Sleeve This might not be a long-la…

Thankfully (as mentioned above) the zip pulls are easy for small hands, which helps them overcome this resistance. One of the issues with GORUCK is that the bull…

…ressed with the use of stamped leather in lieu of the standard embroidered patch, but the placement leaves something to be desired. It’s as though the designers wanted to try something different with the asymmetrical look, but ended up settling on a semi-awkward placement. Admittedly, I’m not sure where else it should go, but if I were king for a day I would have moved the zippers for the foil-lined pouch further apart so as to not sacrifice styli…
