While visiting with Spigen SGP during CES 2013, their Coated Backpack caught my eye. We’ve reviewed — and been impressed by — cases and screen protectors from Spigen SGP, but we had not previously encountered any of their larger offerings. They were kind enough to hand me one of the backpacks on the spot, and [...]

OGIO Manhattan Messenger Bag Review
One of the great thing about mobile technology is that it is, well, mobile. Laptop, iPad, phone, eReader — they all go wherever we go. And more and more that includes shuttling your gear between home, the office, and everywhere in between. Where do you look when you want to be professional but still stylish? [...]
Timbuk2′s 2013 Lineup Brings Organization and Power on the Go
During CES, Judie and I had a chance to spend some quality time with Timbuk2 checking out all of their 2013 offerings. We were there for quite a while since there was quite a bit to see. Check out the extensive gallery for a look. Among the most interesting current products are a laptop messenger and laptop [...]
Pelican ProGear S100 Sport Elite Backpack Video Review
If you are looking for serious protection for your laptop, and you want to carry a tablet, and you need a backpack that can hold all your gear, you will want to take a look at the Pelican ProGear S100 Elite Backpack. The ProGear S100 is a beast and that’s a good thing. In fact, [...]
Tom Bihn Zephyr Briefcase Video Review
If you are looking for a serious briefcase that is tough, carries a ton, and has plenty of organizational pockets — but nimbly avoids the pitfall of looking like the stuffy, square briefcase your father carried — then you’ll want to check out the Tom Bihn Zephyr. The Zephyr is built with the quality we [...]
ecbc Javelin Daypack Review
A must have for every gear junky is a good gear bag. I have been carrying the Everki Titan Backpack for quite a while. I love the bag, but since I am not using a laptop anymore, it is just too large. I actually quit carrying a bag at all of late because of the [...]
Solid Gray Backpacks Dark Gray Edition Available
So okay, one problem with backpacks is that they’re typically soft. Which is fine–preferable in fact to my mind–when you’re carrying a bunch of stuff that is resistant to squishing, scratching, and abuse. Textbooks, say. But nowadays, we’re all carting around laptops and tables, right? And you don’t necessarily want your laptop (or tablet!) to [...]
Greene + Gray Debuts Tech Handbag and Accessory Collection
Although (hopefully) my technogypsy travelin’ days are in my rear-view mirror (so to speak), that doesn’t mean that I’m immune to the allure of nice tech bags. I have definitely found in my three friggin’ plus years of constant travel that having a good bag and your gear nicely stowed makes a huge, huge amount [...]
Mission Workshop R6 Arkiv Field Pack Video Review
We reviewed Mission Workshop’s Sanction Weatherproof Rucksack in November of 2011. (Read the review here.) This time out we are taking a look at the company’s R6 Arkiv Field Pack. The Mission Workshop Sanction Weatherproof Rucksack is one of the more unusual backpacks we have ever seen. In fact, it isn’t exactly a backpack. A [...]

Now the company is rolling out a line of backpacks that take the same approach to extreme-protection of all your devices.

Tom Bihn Cache Sleeve for the MacBook Pro Retina Review
If, like Judie and me, you got a MacBook Pro with retina display, then you know it is a lot of computer and can easily serve as your only computer. It is for Judie and me and, save for the 512GB of storage, there is zero compromise involved. And if you have a MBPr you [...]
5 Questions with Michael Hess of Skooba Design
Skooba Design was Gear Diary’s first advertiser back when Judie first launched the site. They were also the first company to become a Newsletter Underwriter. We tell you that in the interest of full disclosure, but what’s more important is that we really love AND use their stuff. Most recently, we were both taken by [...]

Booq has just announced two new water-resistant natural fiber bags as part of their Mamba Fibre Collection. The bags are constructed from a lightweight, durable material and provide “rugged protection with unparalleled elegance”. Personally I think they look great. As the company explains, As members of booq’s sleek Fibre Collection, the Mamba daypack and courier [...]
Tenba Messenger: Small Photo/Laptop Bag Review
If I had to choose one style of bag as my personal favorite it would have to be the traditional messenger. I love the flexibility, the ability to “dress it up” or “dress it down” and I love the ability to carry “just enough” gear. Oh, and I just tend to like the way they [...]
Skooba Design Laptop Weekender V.3 Review (Spoiler- You Want This!)
Hi, my name is Dan and I am the poster child for Over-packers Anonymous. It’s true. I have a packing problem. When I go anywhere I fill whatever bags I am bringing to overflowing and then I add a bit more. And that holds true for my cloths, my electronics and my incidentals. The result? [...]
