Ancoats Bag Company The Tote Review
…ase – the Ancoats Tote looks great. It strikes the right balance between a modern and timeless look and can easily be a heritage piece thanks to the excellent choice of materials. Depending on the materials you pick (Cordura 500D, X-Pac X10, X-Pac VX21), you can have a more classic or technical look. Further customization allows you to personalize the bag and make it an extension of your character. Construction The build is immaculate, not a singl…
Eberlestock F7 Kite Review
…litary trim – that could be the best description of the F7 Kite pack. It’s modern, slick, streamlined and super clean on the outside. To me it’s one of the best-looking packs out there. And that masculine look grabs some attention too… you can’t really play ‘a grey man’ in the mountains with this pack on your back, sorry. It’s essentially 36 liters, which expands to almost 50 liters with the roll-top part unrolled. A fully scalable sack with a num…

…ke an impression? The Carry-on by Carl Friedrik is an amazing execution of modern jet-setter style. It is steel gray metal strapped with warm leather. And it’s all class. When you consider that Carl Friedrik was founded by Swedish siblings in London, the design lines and high-quality European styling makes perfect sense. Their goal was to bring high quality to customers, cutting out the retail margin excess. The opening hinge has exactly how many…
Top 5: Best Active Backpack 2020
…avy loads, and with extreme durability infused into it – that’s what makes modern hunting packs so versatile for backcountry use. And the Kiowa 3200 is no different. It’s designed by Marine veteran Caylen Wojcik and made by famous Stone Glacier, a nylon gear manufacturer based in Bozeman, Montana, specializing in mountain-hunting packs and accessories.

Top 5: Best Carry-On Bag 2020
…s hardware, these details marry performance and aesthetic into something a modern-day Indiana Jones would lust after. So, why is this minimalistic, handsome, classic backpack here in this category? At first, it appears this might only be a roll-top bag (which it is). Roll-tops are notorious for being a little difficult to access gear, especially when you have a lot of it. Well, flip the Karl onto its face and then you’ll spot the rear compartment…

Carrying on a motorcycle
…rope has a good, secure feel to it when it’s snugged down tight. A lot of modern riders wear a daypack on their back (daypacks have definitely evolved a lot) but I don’t like that either, and would much prefer the one-unit feel of everything being compacted down on the bike. Despite some very lucky escapes, both myself and the Suzuki survived that trip and we didn’t have any luggage pinched, although I did leave a trail of tent poles down the roa…

…led; it’s soft, drapes without drooping, and is almost cotton-like in appearance. The color is interesting without screaming, and the main zip is big, so it just works. – The build quality is perfect, so it is ageing beautifully (unlike many modern heritage bags).

Read on… – The Basics We’ve chosen the largest size in this format for both brands. That raised a few issues, as these duffels probably perform slightly better in medium s…

Similarly, I also really dug the weirdness – and yet contextual appropriateness – of the Wetsuit Bag that our neighbors Baggu and Pilgrim Surf + Supply released this year.

While the classic duffel was little more than a strap and a cavity the modern gear duffels have pimped things a fair way, adding backpack straps, multiple sections and hardware that suits an Everest expedition.
