oh you said clamshell, sorry. There is the @GREENROOM136 Rainmaker which I reviewed: bag-collector.com/post/13431…

hey sorry for the delay! I think you hit most of them. Have you considered @Chrome_Ind Yalta or Barrage? I like rolltop a lot.

You're taking something rugged, durable, and adaptable, and putting fragile electronics and fiddly bits into it. Not easy to get right.

I'm often wary of "smart" bags with a tech layer (except luggage - entirely different. Nomads love gadgets). It's not bad, but it is hard.

$200k seemed a pretty small seed for their vision. I'm impressed they got as far as they did (yay project management)

"Smart bag" company @GetPhorce raised nearly $200k on @kickstarter in 2012. Now they're bankrupt. From an email:

Sad to see @burrobags dropping out of the cycling market: burrobags.com/blogs/news/986…

If you weren't aware, @RESISTANTbags is killing it with the designs. Just an FYI.

We're back! And we've got a review for you! bag-collector.com/post/13431… Looking for a backpack? The Rainmaker by @GREENROOM136 may be it!

@d4g6k11 ah, thought they'd stopped offering that.

@d4g6k11 also the GR2 is designed to sit high without a hip belt, the Vandal and Spare Camel have a belt option. Depends on your style.

@d4g6k11 larger bag encourages non-minimal packing if you aren't disciplined, though, which can cause travel pain.

@d4g6k11 we love capacity, which is the major advantage of the Vandal. But do you use MOLLE pouches?

@d4g6k11 Those are all good brands! MW is most versatile, BOgear most customizable, GORUCK most tacticool.
