A backpack really only has one purpose: Hold shit. When a bag happens to look amazing in the process, well that's just an awesome perk. The Adelanto Backpack from Vans' California line receives high marks in both of those categories. Besides coming equipped with side pockets, lash straps, an external laptop sleeve ... continue reading
Amassing a collection of bags is an easy task these days. It’s also kind of ridiculous if you think about it. You need a bag because you’ve collected too much stuff that you need to carry all the time, but in the process you’ve acquired enough bags to warrant having a box (or a bigger place) for them. But we ... continue reading

If you could see into our closet right now you would probably agree that we have too many bags. Camera bags for days when we're shooting. Book bags (also rucksacks, backpacks, etc.) for those days when we need double the support. Then there's the duffels and the messengers and the totes and you get the idea. We need ... continue reading

Acura ILX brings you these weekender bags that fit the guy who covets cool and made. Step up your game without stepping down.
There isn’t much we can tell you about this bag outside of the fact it’s produced by Merchant & Mills and it looks good. Oh yeah, and it’s made by you. You buy the kit that includes all the parts and pieces (presumably a bunch of oilskin and cord) and comprehensive instructions and then you DIY yourself a pretty ... continue reading
Modular product solutions are great. You get to take a bunch of things designed to work together and play around with them until you have a finished product that works and looks exactly like you want it to.

Traveling with a laptop isn't fun, or convenient or anything less than a complete pain in the ass, but it's also necessary in the age where you better be able to send a TPS report at 3 am even when you're on vacation. Once you finally get off the clock and through security you have to worry about your (or the company's) ... continue reading

It's got camo and bright color accents and, somehow, it just works. This isn't your high school Jansport. It's made primarily of ballistic nylon, so it's durable, stylish and, most ... continue reading
No, Best Made did not spell the name of the bag that Puff Daddy's umbrella-totting assistant carries around wrong. Ditty bags were originally made by apprentice sailmakers to prove they were worthy of crafting a sail and then were used to haul basically all their stuff around in. Even if you aren't about to travel ... continue reading
Deciding between a messenger bag and a backpack is a decision every guy is going to have to make at some point in his life. For many of us it's subconscious, we mess around with both after we're done hauling around 80 pound algebra textbooks and one of the two just sticks. If you lean backpack, and don't mind dropping ... continue reading
When we travel, we don't usually throw our laptop in the same plastic bag as our open toothpaste tube and bottle of aftershave. Toiletries and electronics have always occupied two different realms of our weekender bag when we're on the go. Killspencer—the guy's who make a lot of the stuff we carry our other stuff ... continue reading
The only problem we have with an Everyday Carry is that we don't always find ourselves having a need for all those cool gadgets and tools everyday. We're running a men's website here, not putting the hurt on bad guys (or zombies) or putting out forest fires. We're not always going to need a multi-tool with sixty-five ... continue reading
Let's get one thing out of the way right off the bat; if you don't have a camera rig worth more than your first car this probably isn't the bag for you. If you do happen to have an unhealthy addiction to all things Canon or Nikon, and $429 to spare, you can throw out your current bag as soon as the ONA Camps Bay DSLR ... continue reading
