Road Tests :: Red Oxx Safari-Beano’s PR4
…ar Max nylon thread Place of Manufacture: Billings, Montana, USA Claims to fame: Overbuilt, rugged, and sensibly laid out for adventurous traveling First, a short primer: I am not generally a fan of duffles and weekenders. I find a good backpack better for larger loads, and a good messenger more convenient for smaller loads. People seem to buy duffles and weekenders as a fashion item that looks cute for the 30 seconds between their apartment and t…

Haglöfs HQ Visit
…reception lounge, you experience the company’s entire legend on a Wall of Fame-style display: sample packs from across the century chronicles with museum-esque murals. They thread an evocative narrative of the journey to date. I see a picture of Wiktor Haglöfs’s wooden shack; then I’m drawn to the ‘80s section, where retro bags meet perms, lipstick, and neon spandex: very ‘ski resort’. And though this wall was probably set up to impress and infor…
Top 10 Brands Nailing Waxed Canvas
…d with fabric sourced from waxed cotton heavyweights British Millerain and Halley Stevensons (both with well over 100 years of history behind them). These bags are built to last – yeah, we know, every brand says this. But Bedouin stands by their claim to the extent that they offer a lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship (based on normal wear and tear, not a one-to-one with a bear – frankly, not much will survive that).

Osprey Farpoint 55 Review :: Drive By
…mongst backpackers around the world. I wanted to see if it lived up to its fame. 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 would look towards bags designed for those conditions. The Good We were constantly on the move and always ch…
Game Changer: Let’s Talk Dyneema Bonded Leather
…ggested the match between ECCO Leather and Dyneema. What were the biggest challenges along the way? Our tanning ethos is that leather must behave, feel and look like leather. We are not big believers in gluing stuff on the surface, overspraying, or any other process that compromises leather’s natural character. The biggest challenge was how to combine two materials that don’t have any single similarity. How to bond the leather to Dyneema and then…
