Help me source a bag

[TheJimi]

Need a new gym and weekend bag.

Criteria is:

• Must have internal an organiser pocket, with slots for pens, a key hook etc

• Must have a clamshell opening (ie an opening that goes all the way round)

• Min 30ltr capacity, max 45ltr

• Rucksack or sling sack / messenger bag style

Best I can come up with so far is the Maxpedition Falcon III but the only colours it comes in are all too military & serious looking. If they offered it in the Orange that the Falcon II was offered in, I'd be chomping their hands off.

Second choice is the Osprey Nebula 34, but the clamshell bit isn't the main storage compartment...

So as it is, I'm kinda stuck.

All very I know, but any suggestions?

You could always go full-on schoolgirl, and get a Fjallraven Kanken.

They only cost 5p

Heck, I'd probably buy one it met my criteria above

[Doofus]

Doesn't it?

Too small. Biggest one I can find is 20ltr

Lowe Alpine Orbit 30 does fine for me

5.11 rush 24?

Might have the same problem as the maxpedition though

•only 28ltr•

This is another Samsonite worth looking at:

Hybrid between an expandable overnight bag, a backpack and a laptop bag - the only drawback is the clamshell only opens approx 75%. Has some great features though, and looks great in black.

Fjallraven are one of the best names in Sweden.

If the bags too small put a bowsaw in it for the legs and arms job done

Falcon 2 is a bit smaller.

I know its a bit smaller but I've got a Maxpedition Monsoon, can fit loads in it and I've used it as an overnight bag with space to spare.

How about the Maxpedition MPB, multi purpose bag@ 27ltrs, I've got two and they are great sturdy bags.
