Backpack Recommendations

@Ferret619 not really. I am not the dexterous and I survived fine. All you need to know is to prepare the nappy before hand and don’t let go of the legs.

And if a boy keep you know what away from you.

Funny you say that my eldest daughter obviously didn't like the cold breeze but had impeccable aim, I still don't understand how.

The disturbing thing about tactical nappy bags is the range available, I posted the first link but a search for them turned up far too many results.
 
I feel like a Molle chest rig/ baby holder is just the best product
 
I bit the bullet and paid the big bucks for a Tumi ballistic nylon backpack in 2006. I have used it constantly since that time - it has had extensive field use and been to many countries, yet shows no sign of wear.
It is both comfortable and functional, and I have no doubt it will outlast me and be passed down to one of my sons. Despite this, it is still kind of hard to justify the expense, but sometimes you need a product to be "bullet-proof" so to speak, and this fits the bill.

Any specific model. Might be intrested in something hardy
 
G'day @Rami. It is an Alpha 2 T-Pass Business Class Brief Pack.
I use it to store my laptop and other electronic/IT gear. Still plenty of room to stash some folded clothes, toiletries and other items.
Heaps of compartments, including some specialised for applications e.g. electronics, wet items, etc.

Thanks mate. I will keep an eye out in case they ever go on sale
 
I've been looking at Greenroom136's bags for the last year or so.
From Malaysia, and the bags are very customisable.
Chase Reeves just reviewed a sling bag of theirs and seemed fairly impressed bar one issue with the strap which could be fixed by the above customisation.

And they are not so expensive compared to most of the bags on the market these days.
 
Catch of the day have the Fjallraven Raven 20l available-
Ive pulled the trigger on the navy.

Love my 5.11 messenger bag though I do there is something to be said for a well built plain looking backpack.
 
@nsavage

how is the bag treating you? 2 years later and I have bought one. As covid restrictions are easing I am looking for one
 
My vote would be for one of the many Crumpler options. I have one of their messenger bags, and it's so rugged, I think it might survive a nuclear bomb blast. Made in Melbourne too.

They used to be made in Melbourne I don’t know if any still are.
 
I run a Crumpler Expedition for the last 12 months. Decent but the design of mine irks me a little getting into all the storage. It is quite slim for a 30L but I can barely get a jacket into it. It is comfortable and loads or organization, just could be partitioned a bit better. It's definitely tough.

I would be going for a Timbuk2 if I buy again. Probably a Division Deluxe for the luggage strap, and I would not mind an Authority Deluxe either. Currently 40% off, they have rolling sales right now and excellent value at the price. Really good quality for a 'mass market' brand.

I have friends in Malaysia (and AU) who swear by Greenroom136 too. If I start travelling for work again I will be looking at a non-check travel backpack like the Aer Flight pack or possibly the Tortuga Setout or something similar.
 
Well, I will be picking my bag up from dj on the weekend. If no good, crumpler seems like a good option.

I really like the sling design, but worried about capacity

And I returned the bag. Too small. Will keep an eye out for the time being
