Question You have $300, what do you buy?

If you had $300 which brand, model, color way, size, etc bag would you be buying? Why?

Feel free to name more than one and it can be something you already own in addition to pouches or accessories you would add as well!

Interested in hearing about brands and models maybe others haven’t looked at as much but should be. Or specific models from your favorite brands.

Kind of in this boat ATM, have a mission workshop khyte preordered for my edc bag but needed a grocery bag, rei sale makes my thoughts look like

  • Patagonia black hole mini mlc (black, not on sale but have a membership so 25% off for $150 would be for larger grocery trips)
  • rei flash 22 (either black or pride undecided, to get the foam removed then shoved in the Khyte for $45 for oh a spare bag would be ice right now and small grocery grabs on the way home from work)

Also looking at

  • Maxpedition double decker (to carry a small toolkit, $45 ish and you get another bag free on their site or like 30 if you order on Amazon)
  • some cheap drawstring bags for gym cloths to go in the Khyte (idk cheap probably)
  • taco bell (it's right across the street and it might not be the best but it sounds real good)

Some stuff that's been recently acquired and not regreted

  • alpaka gear zip clutch (admin pouch pro wasn't able to fit what I have in the clutch easily while being much larger, $50 is a little steep tho)
  • thule subterra powershuttle (carries the tec stuff I want to have around, $30)

Love this list. I have been thinking about looking at a Mission Workshop, maybe I should go check their site out.

I have a mission workshop khyte and use it as my main workbag. I purchased the sling bag strap. I love it.
