Luggage Bags and Packs
-
Agree with G. I don't personally use hardshells or luggage that is excessively compartmentalized (yes, I know those are often diametrically opposed), because I can use hard "packing cubes" if I am carrying something fragile and prefer the option of being able to squeeze something into a tight space as needed. For all practical purposes I ususally have whatever fragile stuff is with me in my small carryon backpack (the place where I do value compartmentalization and organization) anyway. The compartments I do value in luggage are places for shoes and suits.
The one thing I do like about hardshell pieces is their light weight.

I like options. We have a Rimowa travel sport trunk and three carryons. I also have the SDR traveller dyneema dufflle, and a weekender by Mismo. I would have liked another wheeled Rimowa but if the Ortleib pieces are bullet proof as they sound, we’ll be buying. I also love Redoxx but the slick fabric of the Ortleibs looks really nice.

Bedouin have produced the Pequod in Dyneema and leather.
@Cutlasshound has probably got one already.

I’d buy the Pequod and if another bag I want falls through I just might. Still in love with my dyneema Balian [emoji3590]. Bedouin just makes such incredible stuff.

Ok People, question about Porter Yoshida bags.
What is the difference between Tanker and Force Series?
Thank you! -
I dont know much about the Force collection but Tanker has been their bread and butter for a long time. But, going off of a product description on END, it appears that Force may just be a ripstop fabric versus their tanker nylon? However when I look at other images, Force looks almost identical to Tanker [emoji848] Sometimes, Porter designates a differently themed product line with similar or the same fabric by a different name. Sorry I’m not much help, but any way you go with a Porter product is a win/win. Their quality is really top notch. I think it was Heddels that did an article about them and the way they train their sewing team is INSANE!

Thank you!Did you manage to pick one up in the end?
Pretty sure the essential difference is the type of nylon that is used (tanker series uses the same type twill as the ma-1 jackets).
If you are still in the market for one then I would recommend going on Porters Japanese website, as there are so many more styles available generally.

Custom Bagjack L NXL messenger.
Saw the specs of this one on Instagram and was pretty much perfect for me.
Checkered tarpaulin liner (looks textured but actually has a smooth surface), carry handle added along with various attachment points including olive molle webbing throughout.
Multiple zippered compartments, two on interior and zip running along the top of the flap to allow ease of access into main compartment. Fidlock buckles (not used these ones before and they, like all the fidlock products I have used, are excellent).
Couple of pics with 10”ipad, 0.75l Camelbak Chute and a can of coke to get an idea of scale. Can fit more in but thought that they were pretty good points of reference generally.
Also pictured alongside a Bagjack NXL custom Sputnik.
One thing I will say is that Bagjack were exceptional at helping me pick out what I wanted. However, As soon as the bag was ordered, their customer service became excruciating. Possibly some of the worst that I have experienced.
The bag was supposed to take twelve weeks. That came and went and heard nothing so I chased them for an update. They said they would chase their production dept and that bag would be ready the following week. That came and went. Chased them again. They then said that bag was too complicated and that would take a further three weeks (could have told me that from the outset, as it was an existing custom option, so complexity issues should not have been surprising). That came and went. Was getting ready to chase them again and then the bag magically got delivered. No notification that it had been posted and to expect it.
Don’t get me wrong, the bag quality is exceptional. However, I would consider myself generally pretty easy going when things go tits up, but I think for the price, the level of customer service was not great. I was considering ordering another custom bag from them in the future but Im now firmly of the opinion that Im just going to give my hard earned money to Giles for some GA instead (i.e. someone that I know personally, like and who - along with the rest of the IH crew - offer an exceptional service).
