REVIEW – Sling bags are all the rage these days, and it seems like every company that offers soft goods is producing a sling bag or three. Some of these products are small and simple, others are large and multi-featured. The Man Bag Co. recently released their The City Sling V2 “for guys who carry …

REVIEW – Aer got their start by crowdfunding a combination gym/office bag and as they approach a 10 year anniversary next year, they now have quite an exhaustive collection of bags and travel essentials. I still have their first generation Travel Pack and after all this time it’s barely showing any wear. So a chance …

REVIEW – Even though I’m female, I don’t regularly carry a purse/bag when I go out of the house. I usually put my wallet in my pocket along with my car fob and my phone. Although that works, it’s not exactly comfortable. And if I need to carry something else, forget it. So, I have …

REVIEW – For the last 10 years, my goto carry-on bag was a free overnighter that I got from work. It’s about as cheap as luggage can be and still function. When the opportunity to review the Roam medium duffel came up, the timing was perfect – a busy summer travel season and a current …

REVIEW – The first toiletry travel bag I ever had was from the early 1980s. It was a vinyl zip up bag that came with my Remington shaver. It eventually cracked and dissolved from years of use and exposure to DEET bug repellent. I’m not quite as adventurous now but the WaterField Travel Toiletry Bag …

REVIEW – I’ve come to realize that I may never find my perfect backpack, but that search pales in comparison to the search for a work worthy tote that can carry a laptop. I think we’ve been looking for one for my wife for her entire career. Troubadour Goods recently offered up their Featherweight Tote …
REVIEW – My husband has accumulated many things he needs to bring in his everyday travels. Shorts or pants pockets can no longer hold what he needs on a daily basis. He has been looking for a good lightweight, small bag to carry his two wallets (yea, don’t get me started!), reading glasses, a large …
REVIEW – When I travel, I already have a couple good suitcases to carry what I need. Sometimes, however, they are too much space—think overnight trip—and at other times they are not quite enough, like when I travel to a conference for the week. For times like these, a good duffle bag is exactly what …

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I consider myself a minimalist, so I don’t need to carry a huge bag filled with a bunch of things I don’t need or won’t use on my short adventures. In 2021, I reviewed the bolstr Small Carry and AUX Pocket bags (pouches?) and have continued to use the AUX Pocket when …

REVIEW – I’ve noticed that when I go camping with our Scout troop, I usually shove my lunch into any nearby paper or plastic bag I can find. I never remember to use a small cooler. Now I get to try out a soft-sided lunch bag without a load of branding, which is exactly my …
