Road Tests :: Heimplanet Monolith Weekender
…ike leather or wool), though that would have added a touch of class to the bag. Construction The bag is well constructed, with very few stitching errors or loose threads. No complaints here. Besides the nylon and some very light padding, the bag has no real additional structure. This means there are no rigid steel rods or plastic pieces in the corners or sides and because of this the bag is not well self-supported. It sits (or stands) more like a…
Drive By :: Côte&Ciel Bowler Bag (Giveaway)
…out to dinner and want to use it as a handbag. However, it’s not a fashion bag; it’s still a work bag. So if you’re just trying to dress up for the night, this bag probably carries a bit too much. But in terms of a versatile work bag, it’s great. Who it doesn’t suit The bag doesn’t suit highly active people who want to ride hard on a bike really fast. You can ride a bike with it if you’re reasonably upright but it doesn’t have stabilizing straps l…
Mission Workshop Transit Arkiv Laptop Brief Review
…with a shoulder strap and two hand straps. These options were perfect for travel as the bag carries well over the shoulder while walking through the airport, but the hand straps are great for carrying the bag through the plane aisle. The rear of the bag also has webbing for attaching your brief to your luggage as you navigate the airport. The Not So Good The large drop pocket on the interior is somewhat flimsy. What I mean by this is that when y…

Outlier Paper Nylon Tote: Drive By
…own. If anything, the AustriAlpin buckles are the only noisy part of this bag. I mean, look at this bag. It’s the coolest tote I’ve ever seen. Two AustriAlpin slide buckles adorn this bag. They’re very sharp, hefty-looking chunks of metal that go well with the bag. I imagine there are some bag aficionados jumping around somewhere knowing that Outlier and AustriAlpin have crossed paths. The buckles are very quick and easy to adjust, though probabl…
Drive By :: Kelty PK 50 backpack
…o store your rain coat. The way they are designed — to hug the rest of the bag’s contents — is the best whole bag compression system I’ve used to date. Most bags have a couple of side compression straps which leave a bit to be desired. The highlight of the pack is the 15L front flap that’s designed to carry your clothes and a few small items. By making it detachable it’s very convenient to bring your clothes with you into the tent or to leave it b…
NYA-EVO FJORD 60-C Review
…an everyday camera bag, it’s best to look elsewhere. Even compressed this bag is a lot of bag to carry around for just the everyday or day trip photographer. If all you need to carry is one camera, a few lenses, and a tripod, I would find something a little smaller. The Good The overall build of this bag is amazing. Everything is very sturdy and as I experienced, you can put this bag through the wringer and it will hold up. This bag has some grea…

DadsFanny Sling Bag Review
…in compartment, but still, it’s another cool feature packed into this tiny bag. Just because this bag is affordable, doesn’t mean they cut costs on the materials. Since it wasn’t clear on their website, I asked Brad if he could go into detail on what this pack is made of. Of course, you’ve got your waxed canvas which gives the bag a nice, structured feeling. And Aquaguard YKK zippers that glide easily and help keep your gear dry when the rains fal…
WANDRD FERNWEH Backpack Review
…empty, so that might be a deal-breaker for some. If you are looking for a travel bag/backpacking bag and only carry a small mirrorless camera, there are cheaper options out there that are more suited to the user without having the features of a full, dedicated camera bag. The Good There are a lot of unique features to the FERNWEH, but let’s start with the harness and back panel. At 50L, when fully loaded, this bag gets heavy. But, while using th…

I must say I loved bagjack gear before I got the amazing opportunity to collaborate with them.

The MOLLE webbing is also a nice feature, mo…

…rbulent experience. That’s why Manfrotto created the Pro Light Reloader-55 Roller Bag. This international carry-on size bag securely stores camera gear when you’re on the go, and features a shock-absorbent and water-repellent construction as well as an included raincover for further protection.

The Matador SEG42 is a Best in Class One Bag Travel Pack
…tle last year and now the SEG42. The SEG42 is Matador’s entry into the one bag travel pack category. Dissecting the name, you can surmise it’s a segmented 42-liter pack. The volume puts it on the higher end of a one bag pack, but comes nowhere near the capacity reserved for large duffels or multi-week hiking packs. In fact, the ~40L size is quite common for this type of bag. So if the size is typical, what makes the SEG42 special? Sleek Minimalism…
Langly Multi Camera Pack Review :: Road Tests
…tested a number of other bags over the years and never found the ‘perfect bag’. I needed a bag I could carry on an airplane, hike with, hold my gear, keep me organized, yet be functional and comfortable. When the opportunity to test out the Multi Pack came up I jumped at it. MATERIALS: The bag is constructed with heavy-duty materials which makes it feel strong and safe and confidently protects the valuable and sensitive gear within. Made primaril…
Orucase Saddle Bag HC and Smuggler HC Handlebar Bag Review
…. It can also take care of all of your tools if you’re not rocking a saddlebag. The bag is perfect to empty out your jersey pockets and ease accessibility. The bag shares the same premium materials, color, and construction as the Saddle Bag HC. Who It Doesn’t If you are looking to go bikepacking or touring, you will definitely want to look into a proper setup with larger volume bags (which Orucase makes). That is not to say it won’t work, depen…
5 Best, Expert-Tested Bike Commuter Backpacks to Buy in 2023
…muting. There is also no sternum strap, which I felt was strange for a 27L bag. So the fact that this bag does not have either makes it hard to commute with, especially for the longer commutes. As far as organization, that is where this bag excels. If you need to carry a lot of gadgets along with a laptop and tablet, this bag is kickass. The front of the pack has three pockets. The front pocket on the bag has both a magnetic flap as well as a zip…

…shoes, along with a G-hook to hang it up. Built for a lifetime of journeys Travel bags don’t have an easy time of things. They get drenched, knocked, scraped, wedged into tight spaces, hauled around with demanding loads, and still need to keep going strong so you can keep going on. So Gravel picked high-quality materials for their system that will endure when the going gets tough. The main fabric is a PU-coated 300D polyester for a weatherproof an…

Drive By :: Amōs Oscar Travel Bag
…Kyle Bardouche. Given my new obsession with weekender bags, the Amōs Oscar Travel Bag seemed ideal to test out. Who it Suits A professional willing to invest in a product designed to last for years and who wants to add a bit of style and class to their travel game. Who it Doesn’t Although Amōs positions itself as a brand nomad or modern adventurer, this isn’t really an adventurer’s bag. Not because it isn’t rugged enough (surely it is), but the ae…

EDC No3 – Modularity Reboot – The X3 Carry Ideology
…t will be different to the bag we need for an extended weekend hike or one-bag world travel. The solution? The X3 carry ideology I work on this solution all the time and different configurations come and go but the one that seems to be sticking, therefore working, is based on 3 excellent bags from GORUCK. Why this works so well is that, by hook or by crook, GORUCK have designed equipment that complements each other perfectly. Given they are from t…

Haven & Florin Rollpack Review: Drive By
…ost, no one will care! Others to Consider Given the everyday nature of the bag and its profile, a few bags definitely come to mind. Obviously there’s the GORUCK GR1 as mentioned before or Triple Aught Design’s FAST Pack Litespeed given the clamshell design. Other bags on the list include Topo Designs’ Mountain Rolltop, YNOT’s Magnetica and DSPTCH’s Ruckpack. “Walking around with the straps affixed to the back panel and not anchored to the bag make…
Remote Equipment Alpha 31: Drive By
…suddenly you’re into that side (left or right) pocket. No need to take the bag off to get into the bag. The same can be said for the top “hidden” pocket. One of the things I love about the DSPTCH Ruckpack is that I can access this pocket on body. It’s a short list of bags that allow me to do that and I’m happy to report, the Alpha 31 made the cut. My only gripe about this pocket is that it’s a black mesh bag instead of white so it stands out again…

Ally Capellino Fin Waxed Cotton Backpack Review
…outfit. Students, office workers, and urban explorers may appreciate this bag. Who It Doesn’t I think it’s safe to say that this bag isn’t meant for rugged outdoor activity. Moreover, if you need features like complete weather resistance, rock scraping abrasion resistance, or water-resistant zippers, this bag is likely not for you. I’d even venture to say that you may want to avoid this for travel; not that it won’t work, but there are likely bet…
