EXPLORING BETTER WAYS TO CARRY
SUPPORTED BY 
Filson takes the idea of a computer bag as one of those dodgy, generic bags you get in conferences and chucks it out the window. There’s only premium materials and beautifully rugged construction here. Bridle leather and Filson’s water-resistant Rugged Twill is a mighty fine pairing, with plenty of pockets and internal organization to keep […]
The Acacia nails classy casual styling, with a generous helping of convenient features thrown in for good measure. The two front pockets will keep your keys, phone, wallet and other small valuables safe but readily accessible. The main compartment also features zip and slip pockets, with space for a 15-inch laptop. There’s a variety of […]
Water-resistant construction, beefy hardware, a selection of quick-access and interior pockets and a nifty recycled inner tire tube base that handles all sorts of surfaces with ease…there’s lots to like about the Carrera. However, the features don’t stop there. Add in space for a 15-inch laptop, a stabilizer strap that’s great for when you’re on […]
If you lean towards the everything-in-its-place approach to packing, the Founder’s Briefcase is for you. Multiple interior pockets and webbing let you store a range of items neatly and securely, while the padded laptop section will keep your 15-inch tech safe and sound. If you need even more organization, an optional Packing Wedge from Tom […]
Simple, stylish, versatile. The Small Field Bag is one of those bags that glides effortlessly between work and play thanks to its practical and understated design. Durable 22-ounce Waxed Twill and brass hardware will stand the test of time, while dual front exterior pockets and a back exterior pocket keep those items you need quick […]
With its raindrop silhouette, Côte&Ciel’s Moselle backpack brings tears of joy to fashionistas everywhere. A stylish carry option that morphs between a backpack and a tote. Tons of organisation, tons of material options, tons of fun for any urban cat who digs this aesthetic. A great daypack for work and street.
Spend a lot of time on your bike? Looking for a little Japanese flair but still want Chrome-level bulletproof build quality? Then check out Blue Lug’s Chimney roll top backpack. A minimalist design, quality ingredients, robust shoulder straps, and rockin’ Made-In-Japan tag, this bag will help protect any urban cyclist’s goodies.
As rucksacks go, Tanner Goods’ Wilderness Rucksack is up there in terms of looks. Constructed using waxed filter twill canvas, wool felt, Horween Chromexcel leather and brass hardware, the rucksack incorporates a laptop sleeve, a variety of interior and exterior pockets and padded straps. The only question is whether you would want to go traipsing […]
Incase has singled out the ICON as the best backpack they’ve ever made. So what makes it awesome? Well it won’t suit everyone but if you’re a gadget lover it will snag your attention, as this is definitely a pack designed with a tech carrier in mind. Designated spaces for a 13-inch MacBook Pro, iPad […]

When it comes to packs, the Nomin is top shelf, and its price tag agrees. The sleek black form of the Nomin projects sophistication and style whilst its construction is cutting edge. If you’ve got the bank to ship one of these your way, then by all means, go for it, you lucky son of […]
Presenting the Blade series from Arc’teryx, a series of backpacks from 15-30L spearheaded for men’s travel needs. Each pack comes with a generously-sized main compartment and laptop sleeve, with a top-mounted electronics pocket for small devices or chargers. Among various other pockets are a concealed passport/ID pocket and organizational sleeves for your packed gear. Sharp […]
LA-based Killspencer have been a favorite of ours for a while now. Their bags run geometric silhouettes (that suit the office and urban environment), but with details and fabrics suited to outdoor pursuits. Repurposed military fabrics, great internals, and top notch components add to the appeal – and this daypack is no different. Simple. Styled. […]
A flexible work bag that allows you to take your business anywhere, providing the versatility of hand, shoulder or backpack carry options. Featuring a quick-access laptop sleeve with the office environment in mind, few other bags match the convenience and aesthetics provided by QWSTION. At 15L, you’ll have plenty of room for your documents, folders […]
There’s customization and then there’s the Arkiv Field Pack. This pack offers a range of weatherproof accessories that can be attached or removed to alter the pack to your specific needs at any one time. These include a folio organizer, a laptop case, a tool pocket, a utility/cell pocket, a vertical rolltop pocket and a […]
We’ve been shouting ‘Bedouin!’ from the rooftops for a while now. And for good reason: they blend beautiful materials and elite craftsmanship and throw in symbols of surrealism, orientalism, fantastical geometry and momento mori into their lining for good measure. And the Delireis is a fine example. Constructed from waterproof 14 ounce silk wax waxed […]
The first bag out of the gate from the “new” Timbuk2, the Especial Tres is beefy, stands up to tough weather – made for the demanding bike messenger/commuter.
One of the smaller offerings from the Mission Workshop stable but still with all the looks and killer build. Made with a 1000 denier VX Cordura ripstop shell backed with a PET waterproof membrane, this 20L gem will keep the weather out, whilst keeping your gear snug. Designed for the bike, this pack can double […]
If you loved The Sanction like so many of us do, but wanted something bigger without the rolltop function, The Fitzroy is your go to pack. Depending on how much you intend to carry it may be a little big for some – it’s got over the double the literage that the Sanction has but […]
It looks great in most environments and will keep your contents dry. The Arkiv Field packs come in lots of configurations, to which you can add lots of modules, giving you LOTS of options. Our favorite though is the R6, letting you add side pockets and a flat front pocket. Beware though, the modules soon […]
This pack took home our Best Work Backpack award two years back, and for good reason – it’s crazy versatile and customizable. The Field Pack is part of a modular backpack approach utilising Mission Workshop’s proprietary Arkiv attachment system. In simpler words, you can bolt on all sorts of sleeves and pockets to a few […]
A design out of a French fashion house rather than a bag workshop, the Twin Isar always gets heads turning with its free flowing looks and interesting variations on access. This pack won our Best Work Backpack award and is a favorite in the office. If you think of yourself as a bit of a […]
With a shape inspired by the super photogenic Visvim 20L pack, the Boulder takes a big EDC brush to this silhouette, adding a tonne of pockets and parts. The pack arrives in a nice fleece lined bag, and almost all the parts and components are a pretty high spec (hence the slightly scary price tag […]
This pack has been on every one of our contributors’ wish lists – expensive but so damn sexy. Bringing a touch of luxe to your EDC, it’ll have your friends drooling and will have you organized and fitting in anywhere. Smart in the office and suave around town, the KILLSPENCER Special Ops Backpack 3.0 is made […]
Sometimes it feels like the whole world is getting on the GORUCK wagon. Blending a conservative aesthetic that fits in a work space, with a military spec that can John Rambo through war zones, the GR1 is a super-versatile workhorse. It ain’t cheap, but it will definitely last. It looks just as good with a […]
