Seems a lot of people are pretty happy with the Restrap stuff... the bikepacking market is continuously evolving though and with the massive range of cheap Chinese bags now Restrap has become more “premium” than it was originally (it was priced to come in below but deliver similar quality to revelate/PR - who both make great products). It’s one of those things though, Restrap is a relatively small UK based business that make things by hand, and they can’t compete with Chinese super factories pumping out massive volumes for pennies. Or large web based retailers selling loss leaders.
