Drive By :: Samsonite Lite-Locked 68L Spinner
…dget, this isn’t the best option. The aesthetics are also eye-catching and modern, which will appeal to some but not to others. . . The Good The size of the spinner is excellent – you can fill it and easily stay under 20kg (the case itself is 3.3kg). The case fit so much more than I was expecting. As I was packing I was worried all the things I needed to get in would not fit, but nope, it’s bigger than it looks. . . The case is a classic Samsonite…

The Hunt Continues :: Brooks Islington Rucksack
…k, nailed heritage minus the cumbersome straps. Or something a little more modern and user-friendly: the Mission Workshop Sanction. Conclusion Overall I greatly enjoy how Brooks was able to put some fresh material spins on a simple bag and still maintain the classic feel Brooks is known for.

An email or two was sent, and a sample was briskly delivered to the foot of my desk. Flash forward two weeks and there I was in Tokyo, complete with hangover and karaoke regrets (thanks to an awful rendition of Under The Bridge I’d chosen to mangle the night before).

…t bag. We designed custom fabrics, that we felt straddled the line between modern technical fabrics and classic low-key look and feel. We had tons of different options we were looking at and went super far down the path of developing a custom waxed canvas, but in the end it didn’t meet our standards for water resistance and weight. I think that the fabrics we developed will really go the distance and adapt to a wide range of situations. Innovation…

For smaller laptops and tablets, you’ll be able to make it work, but for 15″ MBP’s you’ll need a separate laptop sleeve (they just miss fitting the long front section). . .

Verdict I feel like this bag has become an extension of me. I’ve been caught in rainstorms; it’s been stowed in tight spaces. There are few things this bag hasn’t taken on and it’s no worse for wear. It’s truly bombproof and the gripes are due to me wanting to find more ways to fit it into my life. If you’r…

Extremely hot weather and extremely wet weather pose their own threats, but most of the time those elements come and go over the course of a few days.
