Brenthaven has just released a messenger bag that includes a feature that I thought of a long time ago.  Since I don’t manufacture gear bags, that idea has just been floating around in my mind with no where to go. I’m glad that … [visit site to read more]

Reader Keith Anderson sent me an email earlier today with a cool gear bag that he recently purchased. It’s the Nirvana Seatback Organizer and Travel Tote from Zen Class. It’s designed so that it will attach to … [visit site to read more]

The Grab-it Pack is another gear bag variant that I would persosonally not be caught dead wearing as an every day carry solution. That said, I can see how this type of holster might be very  useful for hikers, outdoor photographers, etc.

The prices are actually quite … [visit site to read more]

It’s no secret that I’m not a girly girl. Give me some old jeans, a tshirt and a pair of sneakers and I’m perfectly comfy. Same goes for my gear bags. I don’t want a froo-froo bag with flowers or Hello Kitty on it. I like like simple unassuming bags that don’t look too shiny or new. When I saw the Muzetto from WaterField, I knew that I had to get my hands on one even though it’s being marketed as a man bag, murse, or whatever you want to call it. … [visit site to read more]

I have been a fan of leather bags from the Saddleback Leather Company since my first review of their Briefcase bag and then their Explorer’s Satchel. The style of their bags is what I would call American adventure. They look like something that you might see a person carrying 100 years ago. Definitely a style that can be considered both trendy and classic at the same time. Today I want to show you their latest offering – a Laptop Sleeve. … [visit site to read more]

I’m pretty particular about what I want in a laptop bag. I tend to prefer backpacks because of the more even weight distribution, but I’ve recently been using messenger bags again. My current favorite is the Ice Red Drift. When Julie sent me the Expand-It from BBP bags, I thought it looked interesting – but I wasn’t convinced at first look if it could compete with my current preferred bag. We’ll see if it matched up. … [visit site to read more]

Besides being functional, comfortable and practical, my perfect gear bag must also be unique.
You’ll never see me carrying the same bag that one of my friends has. I like being different (no comments!)
and having the ability to easily create a custom bag is very appealing to me. Over two years ago, I reviewed
Timbuk2’s
Bag In A Box
option. I still have the bag that I created for that review. In the two years since
that review, they’ve added some new materials
and asked if I might like to take a second look. This time around, I decided to
create a custom laptop messenger bag. Let’s take a look…
