Geek Vs GORUCK SD25
…e.” The SD25 is nondescript. It’s one solid colour with space for a Velcro patch on the front. The only branding you’ll see is inside. It ticks my “minimalist” design box. This continues with its pocketing. The handsomely diagonal front pocket is easy to access and makes a good place for your wallet and love poems (if that’s your thing). The main compartment is neatly divided. The front panel has two pockets: a small go-to one (complete with a san…

…more tedious. Take the new one.” “No. I want this one because it’s got my patch on it from Ireland.” And so bags become kind of like these lifelong partners. And I think that if you can create designs with that kind of relationship in mind rather than “Oh, it just needs to have all the latest technical frippery on it,” I think that’s something and I think it’s happening. I think brands are starting to understand that relationship between the bag…

If you want to be able to carry your sleeping bag on the outside of your pack to not take up the precious room inside, sew on some straps with buckles into the seams. If you’re worried about the durability of the pack, maybe you can paint acrylic paint over the hard-wearing places to give it more strength. “If you want to be able to carry your sleeping bag on…

Bedouin Foundry Barbarossa Messenger Review
…abel stitched to the inside, which is flanked by a small Halley Stevensons patch. I love the thoughtful construction, and one design choice that stands out in particular is the “scoop” opening. 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…

…tunning and although they have a different logo (embroidered rather than a patch) and the feel of the fabric and the reflections of the light is different, it’s so clearly a Kånken that I can’t imagine anyone would doubt its connection. Personally, this is the future of the Kånken and I give Fjällräven credit for being so focused on this cause. Hopefully we can do a special piece on just the manufacturing challenges behind the Re-Kånken one day. P…

Additionally, the dual main compartments (separated by a triple layer wall of fabric) allows for an easy method of sne…

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.

It sidled past the upturned boat, seemingly ignoring the whirlpool, and then gently – almost deliberately – passing lengthways through an impossibly narrow gap between two submerged rocks, and into darkness, as if a coin entering a slot machine. It was the last we would ever see of that expensive fibr…

It lets you run a minimal weight, with broad flexibility. The outdoor crew soon started making them from hypalon and plastics and all sorts of tech, but with the return to all things grandpa, leather (and imitation leather) is once again the material of choice.

The wand pockets from the FLASH series also make a return here, and since the BUDDY typically does not come with exterior bottle pockets, this is where I stowed my water bottle of choice, a Slim memobottle. These won’t fit a larger Nalgene-style bottle, but I was able to easily stow m…
