Luggage Bags and Packs
-
@Anesthetist I reckon that your bag collection probably cost as much as the One Bag To Rule Them All!
I like simple packs, and the Dragon is way too complex for my tastes. I was eyeing up the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Metro Pack, which is at the other end of the complexity spectrum, but it appears to be sold out everywhere.
The Z-Packs Midway is another Dyneema bag that looks interesting, but it's possibly too small, and there have been some complaints on Reddit about their customer service. (If I was getting one, I'd add their duffle to the order.) I also like Le Sac Vvorker, unfortunately they don't offer shipping outside of Western Europe.
I'm tempted by the Kasperi myself, although the Frank Clegg and Lotuff bags seem a bit better finished. I also like the Racing Atelier Rucksack 1, though it'd be even more awesome if the used Hyperlapse (thin shaved leather with a Dyneema backing) for the body.

You may be right about that Graeme especially if you are counting luggage [emoji15]
Hyperlite makes killer stuff and wouldnt mind one of their bags but my next piece will prob be an ultralite from Alpine Ludites. I saw their pinnacle in x-pac and love it.
That racing ruck is FUNKY! I kind of like it but kind of have mixed feelings. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
And yeah the Dragon is way more complicated than my Nomin or Bagjack but variety is the spice of life. That being said, my bag storage area is getting pretty full. I’ll be piecing off a few at the least [emoji26]

I wanted to let everyone know that I decided to go with @Brock 's recommendation and went with a Bradley Mountain Wilder… But I do not care for the brown leather... so I wrote them an extremely courteous and polite email asking them to make me one with black leather, and 3 days later they responded saying that they had had plans to make a black canvas/black leather version. So I eagerly told them that I would "send them the money right now" for their prototype... and they sent me an invoice... So I guess in a few weeks I will own the first Bradley Mountain black/black Wilder

I gave the bag and my new shoes a hydrophobic treatment.

"I think I tore my sack"

Thanks buddy. Yeah I was thinking about that. Or like an engraver. I have a carbide tip center punch I might use and see if that will work.

Just picked up a Kriega Trail 18 in black for motorcycle rides. Super comfortable with the front harness. Not the best choice IMO for work/commuting but perfect for long rides. And with Kriega's proven indestructibility.

What cap is that Mike? It looks amazing

It's a one piece of rock mechanic's cap. I took some pics of it before I washed it and it's in the washer right now. I wore it at work about 2 months since the last wash. Ripe AF.
