Anywhere you go can be a soccer pitch with the Urban Pac from Golme. This is a backpack that features a hidden and rapidly deployable soccer goal with shield anchoring system. There is even a water bottle carrier so you can stay hydrated while blocking those shots.
When the game or practice is over you can pac and go.
How do you celebrate a silver anniversary? By proclaiming you’re the world’s greatest. That is what Timbuk2 is doing this month as it celebrates its 25th anniversary with the release of an update to its Classic Messenger Bag. To trump a classic it went with “World’s Greatest Messenger Bag.”
It is 25 percent lighter than the classic, and features Cordura 940D Endurance Nylon, which provides higher tear strength and is also water repellent. This bag also offers a double-loop cam buckle offers easy fit adjustment while eliminating excess webbing, an adjustable shoulder strap with a permanent air mesh strap pad adds comfort and new corner flaps keep out water. The new bag also has a low profile top grab handle.
It takes a lot to be the greatest but Timbuk2 went all out with this one.
When on the go there is sometimes no place to sit, but the EVENaBAG solves that problem. It is a chair and a bag, and a whole lot more. Rocco Kruse and Adam Bauerband of Chicago recently launched a Kickstarter project to bring this part-bag/part chair to the masses.
For those who live life on the go, the EVENaBag might be just the thing to make travel a whole lot easier. Video after the jump
Waterproof bags often don’t have style, but that isn’t a problem with the Rangefinder Collection from Outdoor Research. This has a true retro-look but offers a modern twist on waterproof fabric so the contents will stay dry inside.
While we’ve heard of swords to plowshares, bag maker Chrome is looking to take old military tents and reutilize these as color bags. These include bags made of the Rain Camo that was originally used by Warsaw Pact nations during the Cold War. The shell is made of weatherproof, 1000-denier Cordura and this bag is big enough to hold a 17-inch laptop, while reflective straps will make the bag visible at night.
This line of bags also feature daisy-chain mounting loops for attaching carabineer or bike lights as well as the iconic quick-release seatbelt buckle with integrated bottle opener – something those commies never considered!

When going for a bike ride it seems there is always more than fits in the pocket. Now you could stuff things down your shirt like those riders in the Tour de France, or you could use a bag or pack. The problem with the under seat bag is that it makes accessing items difficult. The Serfas Stem Clamp Bag System puts the bag on the bars, and while we don’t recommend actually riding and in motion, it is a lot easier to quickly stop and open the bag while still straddling the bike. The system includes a few attachments and options, including a large carry all bag, and even a hard case. Video after the jump
Charles Dickens would certainly appreciate the Pickwick bag from Brooks of England. While this versatile water-resistant treated canvas roll-top backpack was made in England, it would certainly be the type of bag that the members of the Pickwick Club might have used on their various adventures to the old coaching inns of England.
It features numerous compartments, and a roll-top system to ensure items are protected while maintaining a sleek look. The bag also offers a “secret” pocket and extra compartment just in case. Jolly good indeed!
We can only imagine what a commute to Timbuktu would be like, especially given that the city of just 55,000 people is located in a fairly remote section of the Sahara Desert in the West African nation of Mali. But commuting with Timbuk 2 – the durable bag and accessory maker – well that’s another story.
In fact the company just introduced its new Commute Messenger bag that can hold a laptop, tablet computer and other electronic devices in special compartments. The bags are TSA complaint so the laptop compartment lies flat for security screening, while high density foam protects your stuff. There are internal mesh pockets to hold cables and power supplies.
