IISE looks nice

that's arts & science, not iise.

[baconzilla]

lol my bad. thought it was since taekim reblogged but it was my misinterpretation

[fishbones]

Saw that bag on the latest non-no I believe. I'm pretty excited too actually.

opinions on the outlier minimal backpack? Thinking about copping...

I have a rei flash 18, got it on sale couple months ago for around 20 bucks. its gone up in price but I think its still a good deal

[EG562]

^ i got 2. such a good bag. so light, ultralighter if you remove sternum strap

[kidkorea]

IISE looks nice arts&science looks nice

Yea it was just a reblog but we're working on our own interpretation of the daypack...pretty excited.

just updating about my masterpiece tote / backpack

more pics here http://www.master-piece.co.jp/products/12652

Pm me if interested ..

That Goruck pack is a beautiful piece but it's hard to justify $265 when Topo Designs sells one made of the same material for less than half the price. Hopefully Topo will sell me one without the lash tabs and logo

love the straps on this!

Just bought a Herschel Pop Quiz

If it fits your personality (i.e., you don't take yourself too seriously) it's a great reasonably priced bag. You're still in school, but grad school may be a bit too mature for it unless you can rock it respectably.

makr makes a great rucksack too

For rugged American styling, though, Layerxlayer is doing some great stuff

cant decide between a T-Level 32L challenger and the 43L Deluxe.

Copped the Topo Daypack from Urban Outfitters on sale for $64.99: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=23452758&CAWELAID=1008328142

They only have black or camo though.

Black looks sick.

Does anybody actually use those square leather strap things ?

[trenchant]

i'm sure someone out there uses them but i plan on cutting them and the logo off when my bag arrives. i'm hoping the packs uo sells are the updated versions with plastic shoulder strap buckles since the metal ones tend to slip.

Nice man it will look awesome, True but shame I like the metal details.

[Harry Hood]

i got mine. it has the metal and its hardly adjustable...

Wait, what the fuck? Did not know they were selling these on UO now, and for way less than the official website price.

I feel like a dummy now.

Received the Topo pack from UO. It has the newer plastic adjusters and I'm really happy about it. What I'm not happy about is the clear lack of attention to important details like making sure the straps are equally spaced apart, adjustment loops sewn at the same distance from the top of the strap, etc.The left strap is 1/4" closer to the outside edge of the pack than the right, and the right lash loop on the strap is sewn about 1/8" higher than the left side. The leather lash tabs are also sewn 1/8" out of square which I don't really care about because I'm cutting them off anyhow but still, there's no excuse for that.

I'm going to try to get a replacement from Topo.

in terms of purchasing try contacting them through their website??

http://thisishenson.com/content/contact

its run by a guy from Melbourne and is still pretty small scale, so fingers crossed they would be able to sort you out directly.

for those who have a master-piece fade, how does it fair in really heavy rain? ive went through several bags lately and ruined a couple books in some heavy rain. any suggestions on brands or fabrics that are good in rain? or waterproofing sprays

The guys from Topo are pretty cool and are sending a replacement.
