  • @bainbridge are you looking at the newer packs, or the older ones? The ones mentioned picking up cheap/in 2017, might well be the older style not available any more

    I can vouch for the older ones, although if you’re hauling heavy loads one generation of bigger version had strap durability issues

    I like my Mission Workshop, think it’s a Rambler, but as someone says, it’s a bit of a bucket ...and weirdly has three different types of opening for all the same type/depth of interiors. I’ve made these adaptions;

    -shortened the rolltop laptop sleeve to stop the laptop hitting the floor - also helps distribute mass inside the bag

    • sewn in a smaller interior pocket at top of main compartment. Will put some more detail like a slip pocket and pump loop in here when I have time. Depending on what you carry, this might not be a problem
    • Shortened straps/finished ends with elastic ...first few times I used I found I was being slapped on the backside by lengths of nylon webbing (maybe this is an attractive feature for you)
    • And I bought one of the shoulder strap pockets to keep lights in. It’s can be quite a convoluted process to open the pack via the two zips and find lights in the cavernous interior
    • Also been meaning to silence the 4 jingle-jangle zips

    Overall, it’s super comfortable, extremely well made bag. I love the variable capacity, have carried huge loads but also zips down to a relatively convenient size too. Yes, they’re expensive but they’re absolutely worth it. It’ll probably be about long after I’m gone.
