Best Work Backpack Finalists :: Third Annual Carry Awards
…nt. – Tailfeather Wanderer Go on, try and take your eyes off it. This is a design so entirely in balance between material and form that your leather has to be perfect, or the whole design would sag and fail. But they are perfect. And somehow, they get better with age. The Wanderer is unmistakably Tailfeather, which means heirloom product that isn’t a slave to the past. This is leather sculpture that has utility and well resolved features. – Terani…

…clever than your standard bag. Features-wise, I’d say you can look at the Peak Design Everyday Messenger, the Tom Bihn Founder’s Briefcase, or maybe a DSPTCH Utility Brief. Verdict If you’re still with me up to this point, then it should be no surprise that I am very impressed with what NOMATIC has pulled off. My only previous experience with them is through their notebooks which my fiance uses for planning, but after using the Messenger, I am cu…

…s a tough and urban-friendly alternative in the smaller carry space, while Peak Design’s Everyday Sling (available in 5L and 10L options) may suit your needs too.

WANAKA Adapt Backpack Review: Drive By
…, the (ridiculously named) WANDRD Prvke, the Nomatic backpack, or the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. Those are bags you want to be seen with. Those bags call attention and demand to be commented on by passersby. The Adapt is not these things. The Adapt doesn’t care about being hip or stylish. It just wants to get you out into the unknown, exploring and being able to adapt (I see what they did there) to what comes your way. Who It Suits Convenience…

Chrome Industries Avail Backpack Review
…ase of the pack. In comparison to other packs with articulating harnesses (Peak Design Everyday Backpack for reference) I found the harness to be slightly constricting for those with broader shoulders. This is nitpicking as it wasn’t a huge annoyance, however it may be useful to note for those with broad shoulders. Also, there’s no waist belt. To address this, Chrome designed a sloping back panel which hugs the lumbar and presses it in place. It w…
Arc’teryx Alpha SK 32 Pack: Exclusive Review
Get a sneak peak and dig into an exclusive review of the Alpha SK 32 Pack from Arc’teryx. Note, this pack will not be available to purchase until August 2018. As a ski photographer who’s spending winter snorkeling through the powder that muffles Hokkaido via Siberia, the Arc’teryx Alpha SK 32 is proving to be the perfect tool for resort laps, quick backcountry days, and catski missions. Since receiving the pack for review, I have used it day in a…

As of this post, the campaign is sitting at $6.9M and with 24 days to go, it’s sure to go through the roof. The story is how compact they were able to get the total package, when collapsed. It fits in the profile of a water bottle! They were able to accomplish this by tossing aside the convention of tubular legs, and ins…

The fit and finish is impressive and the design is the perfect combination of classy and casual that could appeal to everyone from a mail room clerk to the company CEO. A larger knife would probably be more comfortable to use for tasks that take a while.

These two came together to design products specifically for strong bad ass women. Specifically a cross-body bag and messenger bag.

The Para Military 2 was designed by the founder of Spyderco when he was tasked with designing the perfect knife for his enlisted son who was being deployed into combat.

Conversely, the M80 is crafted from extremely lightweight, reinforced materials and integral ABS panelling that stealthily absorbs and deflects sho…
