    2021 Wish List

    Hi folks, it’s now December, time for a new wish list thread.

    I have two wishes to start: one, that Solaris sticks around longer so that those who were not successful in snagging bags in yesterday’s debut, such as the sold out original Shop Bags, pcsbs, Trucksana, could have another shot at getting them.

    And that leads me to my next wish: a different ordering system during debut days. I know it’s most likely an impossible wish, but I still wish it all the same. There’s nothing more frustrating than to have items removed out of your cart until you have nothing left, especially when it’s the one and only time you have the opportunity to acquire an item; i.e., the original shop bag in the limited edition halcyon colors.

    And lastly, I wish for everyone here on the forum to have a happy and healthy 2021. Stay safe!

    I'd love a bicycle front handlebar bag. I have one that works, but is a bit too small and has zero pockets/organization. I'm always worried my giant locks are going to crush my phone. I see many that are huge / more for bike couriers. Ideally, I'd love one area for necessary bike accessories (small pump, bike tool, tire levers / patch kit, kryptonite locks) all inevitably somehow covered in bike grease despite my best efforts, and a separate area for quick access to your phone (in a dedicated spot), snacks, mask, sanitizer, keys, etc. Bonus points if it's waterproof and has reflective material somewhere. Also if you could attached a strap to make it a shoulder bag if you're stopping somewhere. Easy peasy, right??

      I have 2 categories of wishes: the first being existing bags in new colorways and the second being bags that don't yet exist.

      In the first category, I'd love to see a Pickup Truck in Logic Blue. Those recycled fabrics have such a beautiful hand and sheen.

      In the second category, I'd love to see an everyday carry bag, either shoulder or cross body in an under 10 liter size, in a fairly utilitarian style, with some structure and a couple of internal pockets. ie a more boring Icon, without the curves and crazy zippers. I don't commute, and don't carry a laptop but I do carry things. I currently use a Pickup Truck which I absolutely love, but I would like something that looks more like a purse for social situations, festivals (assuming we can do those again in the near future) and travel (needs to zip close- not open with a buckle). I sometimes use a zip top small shop bag for this type of occasion, but that most definitely doesn't look like a purse.
      Getting to the point with too many bags to list them all. Current daily carry is my Black Halcyon Zeitgeist with a Cobalt Cerylon 3DOC as my "purse"/

          1. I'm eagerly waiting for that sling bag that Darcy said Nik was working on. I really want to settle into a sling for EDC, but have yet to find one that works for me.

          2. Either a new run of Yeoman duffels or, as I'd prefer, a new run of NFTDs especially in Seapine.

          3. I'd like to see some of the bigger main-line bags (Synapses, Luminaries, etc) available in Seapine.

          4. More Seapine...

            I'd love to have a mini Travel Laundry Stuff Sack sized for one or two sets of clothes. That'd be great for a gym/pool session or an overnight trip.

              This may not have everything on your wish list, but I have a Handy Little Thing 1 attached to the handlebars of my one of my bikes, using two of the utility straps. Shorter straps would be more convenient, but I just used what I had available. The HLT2 would also fit, but I'm using mine for a factory bag right now.

              It's more PLO than a shop bag but definitely not as much as an Icon, but have you tried the Daylight Briefcase for this? I really like the DLBC in halcyon for that type of use case. I've carried it all day wandering around city streets when a backpack wasn't suitable and when it did double duty as a laptop bag for work.

                    Still wishing for an Everyday Cubelet in Original Halcyon (if there’s any fabric left)! And I’m another one looking forward to that sling bag, keeping my fingers crossed I can carry my camera in it.

                      I would like an Everyday Cubelet in Original Halcyon. And I'd love to see an Original Halcyon Icon with red zippers...one can dream right?

                        Hoping to see a PCSB-sized Side Kick in 2021. It would be the perfect companion bag-in-bag for the SG23 (or SG33) top pocket!

                          +1 for an Original Halcyon EC! I also wish for a Wasabi PCSB!

                          ETA: I would love to see a return of the Tool/Pen Wrap, even if it’s just a limited run!

                            I don’t really know what to write since every year I used to ask for a return of sitka, lol [emoji23]. I am hoping the Insigne will be at least 20 liters, and hoping for more violet aether packing cubes in solid aether, I don’t care for the mesh.

                              I'd like Original halcyon to stick around and also some new 400d halcyon colors.

                              It would be great if Solaris could stay longer...and I'd love Zest or an even more saturated orange to make an appearance. Also a true lime green halcyon and a watermelon halcyon. I want a citrus salad of halcyons....

                              Based on the DL edition of the PCSB with the zippers inside out and different so that they don't (potentially) affect the strap... I'd like to see the Side Kick & Daylight Briefcase revert back to those end attachment points - I think they're more flexible to use with the swivel carabiners.

                              I'm going to be insanely spoiled here and ask for a Monster Truck size version of the Truckasana since I apparently carry around way too much yoga stuff.

                              Shout out for aether fabric which I really quite like for the laundry cubes - would love to see it used on stuff sacks (I have one of the disco'd sleeping bag stuff sacks) and come in more colours.

                              Insulated lunch cooler container with optional shoulder strap sized for the center square of the Truck/Truckasana (which would also probably fit well in the backpacks).
