The Best Weekender and Duffel Bags for Every Traveler 2022
…ave an EDC pouch, a wash pouch, or even a collapsible backpack within your travel bag. Even without these though, the Techonaut is a great travel companion. My 45L continued to take more and more stuff whenever I needed it to – it felt like a Tardis. I liked the organization it gave me when on the move – with a small side pocket for my keys and wallet, a larger bottom pocket for my shoes, and even the laptop sleeve I mentioned earlier. While I wou…
Specialist Carry :: Adventure Surfer
…or example telescoping handles, 360 rolling wheels, etc. I love the Dakine roller bags. What they are doing is pretty much ideal for travel. Their board bags are simple and perfect without a bunch of extras that cause weight. I do like handles on the end of the board bags though, so they’re easy to carry if you’re dragging them or carrying them with a friend. Any nightmare travel stories? Had any run-ins with hostile customs officers? Canada has t…
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…

…ally a pair of drumsticks (as I’m an aspiring rock god). What’s your go-to travel bag? Casey: My Thule roller. It’s awesome. It is a perfect size for a weekend or a week. It has a separate zippered compartment in the bottom half that keeps clothes organized or keeps dirty clothes or shoes separate. It has a built-in hard zippered case for sunglasses or breakables. Great access and a really unique, sleek design. What advice would you give designers…
Ancoats Bag Company The Tote Review
…rhaps you will be lucky. For me, these handles were used often to grab the bag but I rarely carried the bag for more than 10 minutes in my hand or on my shoulder. Comfort level: average. 3. Over the shoulder/across the body with a removable shoulder strap. By far my favorite way to carry the bag, specifically across the body. It allows me to stay hands-free (I am a father of an 8-month-old son so being able to go hands-free to deal with stuff othe…
Road Tests :: Rip Curl Global F-Light Wheeled Bag
…, it shouldn’t get dinged and stop working. And it squashes flat Most of a travel bag’s life is spent in storage. This is the biggest issue with hardcase luggage, as it takes up a big volume even when trying to hide in a cupboard. The Global works for many different load sizes, and then squeezes into tiny spaces when you don’t need it. Yay. – There’s enough pockets I love external pocketing on a carry-on bag, because you often need to drop in pock…

…k at the Wander Pack. It’s a 40-liter travel backpack that is aimed at one-bag travelers. There’s tons of accessible pocketing, a full line of packing cubes and gadget holders available, and it’s designed in very sharp colorways. Finally there’s the Circuit Sling. While this bag would be a solid messenger bag as is, what really caught our eye was the material this bag is made with. Timbuk2 took reflective material and laid it beneath a coarse nylo…

The GR2 fits everything you need, blends in to anywhere you go, and can be customized with modules to most configurations you desire”.

…are few and far between, as we pound our chests about the benefits of one bag travel. So the design team at AWAY’s New York City headquarters took all their hard travel knowledge from suitcases and… made it soft for your next one bag journey. F.A.R. stands for For All Journeys and I’ve got to say that we agree. Coming in at a massive 45 liters, they packed it all into an overhead bin sized package (21.7″ x 13.6″ x 9.5″), just mildly defying the…

…t pulling everything out on the floor to find something. What’s your go-to travel bag? Depends how long I’m away for, but I always grab my Burton Red Eye Roller bag. If I can travel light, I will. This carry-on size roller is always better than a pack when traveling through airports. I always want to get through security as quick as possible, that’s the worst part of traveling, ha ha.

Road Tests :: Peak Design Everyday Messenger
…. Designed in conjunction with New Zealand photographer Trey Ratcliff, the bag is touted as a bag photographers could use in the field but one that seamlessly transitions to the boardroom, classroom, or under your seat in coach. Trey is most known for his HDR, landscape and travel photography so when he comes knocking with an idea for a bag, you listen. Before I talk about what makes the Everyday Messenger so great, let’s review what the design te…

…luding one from us. They feature it prominently on their Atmos/Aura series bags and from now, all Atmos/Aura bags will come with AG standard. They are also pushing the AG technology into other packs such as their baby carrier (Poco Plus available Spring ’16) and a daypack. We tried the Atmos on and it honestly felt like there was nothing on you. The hipbelts hug your waist and the bag feels like it’s floating off your back. Apparently, it took the…

…ng for many. The pack is also about 6 liters smaller than the Daypack which means it’s lighter and easier to carry. The Rover Pack is well suited as an everyday bag; something you toss on your back and ride to school with or a bag you take to the bluffs on a photoshoot. Like all Topo Designs bags, it is made in a LEED certified building in Colorado and that’s a wonderful bonus. At $140, it’s an investment but a worthy one, I think. There are many…

Who It Suits This is a generalist traveler’s bag. Good for people who want a bit of versatility on longer trips moving from hostel to the outback. Who It Doesn’t This is not for a specific-purpose traveler. If you are off for a hiking adventure or a city tour I woul…

Top 5 | Best Shoulder Bag
…since I have picked up a bag and just fallen for its ingenuity. As a tech bag/work bag, the Kept excels thanks to a range of well-thought-out and functional design choices. In the front of the bag is a zippered compartment with the ubiquitous pen slots etc.; you’d be forgiven for being unsurprised. However, with a quick roll of the pre-folded lines and Velcro attachment, you have a perfect tablet stand for responding to emails or consuming media…

The side access to the laptop compartment is a very welcome feature and arguably should be considered a default way to access the laptop in a backpack. The top and side access to the main compartment makes the day-to-day interaction with the bag a smooth and pleasant experience (which, sadly, cannot be said for many rolltop bags on the market). One grip…

The Dispatch meets and exceeds this expectation. Towards the back of the main compartment the padded laptop sleeve sits secured by a heavy-duty Velcro strap. There is a bunker of padding on every side of the laptop sleeve, including the bottom of the slot making sure to protect your inter-web…
