“Good golly Miss Molly… you make amazing clothes AND gear too!
The perfect weekender bag/carry-on luggage that there ever was.
Thanks for cranking out all the hits! This bag is it!”
“I prefer duffel bags when I travel — and I carry on whenever possible — and this is the perfect bag for me. From the material, to the large pockets, to the tapered end for a better fit in the overhead storage, this bag ticks all the boxes.”
“There is nothing else like this bag out on the market and I have looked at many bags.
This is a very large 55L bag, with a waist strap, that doesn't look like you are a backpacker. The waist strap is very important if you are making the bag heavy because it takes the stress off of your back. I had a lot of back issues with heavier backpacks because of lugging a laptop and many other things, and a waist strap is a must. It takes something like 80% of the weight off of your back and puts it into your legs.
The big main compartment is easy to access, and everything else on the backpack seems to be of high quality with many different zippered areas on the bag. The bag sits straight up when putting it down unlike some other backpacks with straps that don't have a flat bottom.
If you are looking for a backpack that has an effective waist strap, holds a large 55L of volume, looks great and not like you are going on a camping trip. There are no other packs out there like this and I've spent hours comparing many. The waist strap also adjusts very tightly and securely and I'm thin also. There is nothing wrong with looking like a backpacker, it's just that I use this backpack as an everyday pack and don't want a backpack that looks like your typical backpackers backpack.
The only things I would recommend or like to see as an update are a lockable zipper on the main compartment and a mesh pocket on the side to hold a water bottle. This is because I would use this when I go backpacking and stay at hostels and need to hold a water bottle. It is possible to fit a small lock on the zippers, but it is not as secure as actual zippers designed to hold a lock.”
“I’m very satisfied with the 5 day mule bag. I used it on a hike recently and I’m looking forward to packing it up for a destination wedding trip in Belgium this May”
