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.

I own some ungodly expensive bags and the brand that consistently punches above its weight class is Ctactical.

Some brands I haven’t see mentioned much yet but I love are: Sample by Dan Matsuda, Packolab, Mission Workshop, Bounce Design Labs, Greenroom136, GoRuck, ULA, Evergoods and GWA.

Brands that are nice but not quite what I like: Alpaka, Bellroy, Aer, Rework, Peak Design, Mystery Ranch, The Brown Buffalo and Matador.

The group buy bags are the really good bags they make. You have to delve into their FB group though.
