I was keen on the weekender but had the same thoughts with it being too large for a EDC or sorts. Eventually got myself a duffel lite instead.

Anyone bought the Synik 30 from Tom Bihn before? How does it hold up in Singapore's climate?

Am looking for an upgrade from my 5-year-old NH500 from Quechua (Decathlon) which is 30L capacity, 18.9" x 11.4" x 10.2".

I'm a fairly big guy at 6 ft tall with a 50" pit-to-pit chest circumference. Am looking for an EDC backpack that can function as a travel backpack for week-long tourings within SEA (2 shirts, 5 t-shirts, 3 shorts, jeans/pants, slippers, toiletries). Also am considering Tortuga Outbreaker Laptop Backpack and Aer Travel Pack 3 Small X-Pac. Feel free to pitch any other recommendations.

I would say that the content in my EDC is pretty minimal:
- hoodie,
- 13" MacBook Pro+charging adapter+cable,
- 30,000 mAh power bank+cable,
- housekeys,
- tissue packets (wet+dry) and face wipes,
- earpiece (wired+wireless),
- hand sanitiser,
- hand moisturisers.
- small bottle of perfume,
- lighter,
- Victorinox Swiss Army Knife,
- small umbrella,
- rain cover for bag,
- some plastic bags,
- a small box of disposable toothpicks.

MK, Kate Spade or Coach for casual
Hi all, I am looking for a handbag/crossbody bag with a budget of $500.
It is the bag for going out with friends/family/bf occasion d&d/wedding dinner, definitely not for work
It's my first time buying a designer brand for me to enter entry-level and work my way towards high-end luxury level (Loewe, Gucci, Chanel and etc)

I would like to know which of the three brands above is the best.

MK - complete trash
Kate Spade - Semi trash
Coach - Passable. Get this

High end luxury - i like all 3 but i believe Chanel is the most desirable among ladies...

Hey everyone,
I have been using Timbuk2 Spire for the past 4 years and plan to change my backpack.

Planning to put in a 14inch macbook, spectacles in case, work/ sch notes, water bottle.
I liked my Timbuk2 Spire but always feel annoyed when my water bottles fells off the side pocket( not high enough).

I was looking at Boundary Errant and reached to those selling it used on carousel for their review. They recommended me to get other bags (peels and cracks) instead of Boundary since I am buying brand new.

Any brands you guys would recommend based of your experience?
Not looking at luxury brands or Herschel/Crumpler.

How is chrome industries if any of you have used it?

Thanks.

I am also looking for a crossbody bag for casual outing to put my stuff items. I would say Coach would be a better choice. For the high end luxury, why not LV?
