How many times have you found yourself in need of a bag when you're on a trip? We can't be the only ones that have gotten in line at the local big box after a trip for essentials and realized that we don't have any alternatives other than their stupid plastic bags. Don't get us wrong, those things are necessary for ... continue reading
Chrome bags have been around for quite some time (hell, we still remember seeing them on "24" when it was on the air) and they continue to churn out awesome new additions to their lineup. The latest is their Reflective Camo collection. Each of the three different bags is available in one of three camouflage patterns ... continue reading

We can't imagine a time when we'd want to walk a battlefield with a $250 Blue Claw Co. backpack like their site says, but the Barajas certainly seems like it's up to the challenge. The olive, brown, blue or gray Barajas is made from 19oz waxed canvas and trimmed with supple brown leather and all brass hardware. It's ... continue reading
There aren't too many things MAKR can't make. Wallets? Check. Leatherman cases? Yup. Skateboards? Sure, why not. Backpacks? Not a problem. iPad Cases? Done. The latest addition to their long line of stylish, portable protection devices is the Daypack, and it's every bit as gorgeous as everything else they make. Made ... continue reading
Ladies and gentlemen, Chrome has done it again. We don't have the pseudo-science to backup this claim completely, but we're willing to bet that there aren't many things the Chrome Barrage Cargo Backpack can't do. The backpack is made with welded waterproof seams in the USA, guaranteed for life and includes a seatbelt ... continue reading
Until we saw this project on Kickstarter we genuinely thought that drawstring backpacks had no place in our ever expanding collection of bags. They're acceptable for the gym, a festival or when they're free for opening a checking account in college, but we'd never pay for one. That's kind of unfortunate because they're ... continue reading
To this day we still haven't found the perfect collection of bags for traveling. One company might make a great weekender, but for whatever reason it doesn't work as a carry on. The bag you bought to use as your "personal item" is too big to fit under the seat. Most importantly, hardly any of them work as well for ... continue reading
One of the things we like about Topo Designs is their playfulness with colors. Forget the standard jet black JanSport, Topo offers color combos to add a bit of uniqueness to your next trek. The Rover Pack is their latest offering and it doesn't stray from Topo's thought process. Made of rugged 1000d Cordura base for ... continue reading
We can't sit here and say wearing your jeans inside out is a good idea. If you're going for attention, oh, you'll get it. You'll get attention carrying around one of these Reverse Denim Bags from Everlane too, but it'll be the kind of attention you actually want. The sharp looking bags are made from reverse denim, ... continue reading
While the Tessel Jet Pack Backpack has exactly zero rocket boosters, we still like where the guys who made it are coming from. The idea was to make a backpack that was both professional yet still youthful and fun. We think they're pretty much spot on with that (even though we would have liked rocket boosters). The ... continue reading
Here we are again, talking about a reasonably priced, well put together bag that looks pretty great. But you've got plenty of those already, so why put another one in the rotation? It always boils down to little details, and the Vans Goleta Backpack has plenty of them. For starters, it's not just a backpack. The multi-function ... continue reading
Part of any good camping trip or outdoor excursion is the time spent downing a few beers with old Mother Nature. If you're looking for the ideal backpack to have you prepared for such a part of your journey, Breckenridge Brewery and Topo Designs have you covered. The two joined forces to create the limited edition ... continue reading
Ralph Lauren has officially made the best looking backpack/rucksack we've seen in quite some time. The flap top closure has a drawstring closure in a contrasting color. The giant inside that the flap top closes is lined with a contrasting orange nylon twill. The rich, chocolaty leather straps and trim are imported, ... continue reading
Maybe we're just crazy, but it seems like all the good deadstock militaria that keeps popping up for sale is from the Swiss. When the items in question are watches, red light/green light flashlights or this deadstock military backpack, we have absolutely no problem with it. This collaboration between Furni and World ... continue reading
In our eyes, Herschel Supply Co. can do no wrong. They almost single-handedly made Jansport style backpacks cool again with their special combination of quality materials and good design. This new camo colorblock backpack has both of those attributes (woven canvas construction, fully lined with the signature stripe ... continue reading
