Apple iPad Pro | Is This the Perfect Mobile Studio for Travel and Adventure?
…al media, or in our group, has been refined on this iPad. Even some of our patch designs have been drawn and vectorised on this iPad. When I look at the above paragraph, that blows my mind. Even a couple of years ago – to make a statement like that would have been incomprehensible to me. Sure, the iPad Pro range has shown promise, but I honestly feel this is the first iteration that has given me the freedom to create on the road, and not worry abo…

Made from 1000D Cordura (with a 1050D Ballistic base) – this GR2, while slick, is just as tough as its predecessors and will happily be dragged through any manner of adventures and journeys and come out the other end looking spotless. Trustworthy Travel GR2’s are in the top echelons of the one bag travel category, and they’re fawned over by many. They come in a varie…

Harvest Label Flyer’s 70XX Backpack Review
…on the bottom left compartment. The pack comes with both a tonal circular patch, which I didn’t notice at first, as well as a cover for an even more streamlined look. I prefer the cover myself but do like having the option to add a bit of personalization. I found the pack to be overall comfortable. The pack itself weighs about 3.3 lbs with the internal organizer or 3 lbs without, which is on the moderate end. Yet it feels light when worn, possibl…

…she’s only 4’10 (147.32cm), it looked great on her. Slapping my Baby Yoda patch on the front gave it a bit of personal flair. Everything but a bag of Skittles and a spare spit-up rag was stored in the main compartment. The external zipper can be tough to utilize while packed out, so these flat objects were stored there. Inside, everything was laid out Tetris-style, with the smaller pouches tucked away in the internal mesh pockets. The only down…

GORUCK GR3 Review
…ure. The front panel features GR’s signature rows of PALS webbing and 2×3″ patch field. You’re also going to find PALS on the bottom of the GR3, but it’s thick 2″ strips which allow for overflow packing using lash straps (which are not included with the bag). In addition, you’re going to find compression straps and buckles on both sides. These help manage the size of the bag if it’s not completely loaded out. It’s worth noting that you *can* compr…

This not only protects the contents from inclement weather or debris out in the field, but also adds to the seamless opening and closing of the bag. There is no jaunty flip of the top, or stopping point when you hit a seam, it just moves naturally. This ha…

This lightweight, durable, and extremely portable soft case is one of my favorite options for several reasons. The size is just right at 17 x 12 x 7.5 inches when built.

9 Great Crossbody and Sling Bags for Men to Buy in 2022
…arrying my junk. The front has an old-school oversized The North Face logo patch that looks damn cool and a zip pocket. There’s nothing inside that pocket other than empty space. I fill it with my big cell phone, a hanky, wallet, and protein bar, but there is room for more. The main zip compartment is also just a big empty space. Large enough to hold a 40oz Hydro Flask, but a 32oz would be easier to get in and out. I have no problem fitting a wind…

The standard variant forgoes both patch field and PALS, so the choice is yours. The shoulder strap is similar to what you’ll see on classic messenger bags, and it’s the same one you’ll also see on other GR136 offerings like the Metromonger. It’s well padded, wide, and comfortab…
