Put it in my GoRuck GR1 and really like the slimmer profile compared to the Kifaru Organizer I was using. Notice how the bottom doesn’t go to the inside pocket anymore. It holds:

  • Surefire L1 Lumamax Flashlight
  • Emerson mini CQC-15
  • iPod Sync Cord
  • Flash USB Drive
  • Embassy Pen
  • Black Sharpie
  • Bamboo Stylus
  • Nail Clippers
  • Compact Flash Adapter

The other pouch is a Voodoo .306 pouch which holds:

  • HDMI Cord
  • Mini-Display Port to HDMI adapter
  • Business Cards

And a Maxpedition Rolly-polly Dump Pouch which holds a Klean Kanteen Reflect Bottle.

The Skinth Sheath is great and really well made. One drawback is the strap around the outside BARELY goes over the Surefire L1 Flashlight. That’s the only negative.

I love bags. I don’t know why. But I definitely have a problem. I found the perfect messenger bag. And the perfect backpack. And now I think I have a perfect duffel/weekender bag. The definition of perfect: when the delicate balance of style and function is reached.

These bags by Herschel Supply Co are from Scotland and have two distinctive features: pinstripe inside and a shoe compartment. The pinstripe is really sharp and sets it apart from a junky duffel. There’s also a hard bottom that is removable… haven’t decided if I am going to use it or not.

Aside from that, there is nothing really terribly exciting besides a wonderfully simple high-quality duffel. Nice leather details with plastic loop holes. I had originally ordered the Outfitters Large but although it said it was only 2 inches of difference (24in vs 22in)… it felt so much bigger. It also featured steel loops for the shoulder strap which were already worn as the one I got was the floor model. The only thing I really like from the Outfitter was that they had these big hand straps on the ends of the bag. It was also twice as expensive… the Novel retails for $79.99… I got mine on eBay for $50.
