I would love to see a revamped Smart Alec with laptop compartment, edgeless straps, Design Lab zipper pulls, in Ursa 525 Ballistic exterior with Solaris / Acuity interior.

I'm grateful for my good health, and the good health of my family.

I got my SG33 in Ursa, and I love it. I think the Ursa contrasts very well with the black bottom, buckles, straps, zippers, and label.

That said, I'm not really into black bags, because I find...

I've never had a problem with the materials of any of the bags I bought (primarily 1050 and 525 Ballistic, and 420 Parapack), as well as the construction. I'd love to see what you guys can come out...

An axe, fish hooks, and a big supply of waterproof matches.

bartleby, thank you for your support! I know you love your Guide's Pack, and I've enjoyed the many fine pictures you posted of it. I also enjoyed your thoughtful review of the GP. :)

And yes, I'm...

Hey there,

If you bought a Guide's Pack, you should have received an email from Tom Bihn, saying that they'd donate $10 USD to Leave No Trace.

I think that's a great initiative. I've written a...

Haha, no. But I do admit I tried to get the GE S25 in Deep Blue, but failed at the checkout stage. I wasn't too bummed because I already have a GE SN30, and consider it a blessing in disguise that I...

I wouldn't count on the inventory lasting long, so yes, I'll be one of those spamming refresh, add to cart, and checkout the minute (second?) they're available.

To the fastest goes the spoils!

BTW, the link to the SG 33 from the SG 23's page, and vice versa, don't seem to be working.

Looks like the links are missing a "/products" - they should be...

No Cache loops in the Shadow Guide.

Strap Keepers can help with the excess strap length. These straps do have loops at the end; Nik added the loops because it helps prevent the straps from...

Love it!

Questions:

1. Can we get more photos of the SGs in Ursa?
2. Are the cord zipper pulls removable without cutting them off?
3. When they're available for order, will it be a pre-order...

Thank you Darcy. I was hoping for them to be made, especially after finding out the Leads Pocket was retired. I was hoping to "complete" my Guide's Pack, so to speak, but I accept that it may not...

Ditto for the Guide's Pack Left and Right Pockets in Navy Parapack.

The 33 liter version looks almost similar in dimensions to the Guide's Pack, which is great, since I find that my Guide's Pack fits me well.

The 23 liter version is interesting too: it's almost as...

Some things I'm grateful for:

1. Still having a job and income in the middle of this pandemic
2. Living in a country where it's mostly under control
3. Still having my loved ones around me

I read in an article about the original Klettersack that apparently the sloped bottom pulls weight closer to the back. Not sure how true that is though. I'm sure Darcy / Tom / Nik would know better....

This thread's been pretty quiet.. any news on when we might see a launch of the Shadow Guide V2?

Haha! Trying very hard to convince myself that I don't need another bag, I already have too many, and the ones I have are doing just fine.. I wonder how long my willpower can last.

Very glad that the Guide's Pack and its accessories survived the cut. :) Will be eagerly looking out for news on when they go into production again..

I wonder if we'll also see a new duffel bag...

Thank you Darcy, that's heartening news. Please allow me to cast a vote for restocking the Left / Right / Admin Pockets and also including them in any pre-orders, should you all decide to semi-retire...

Darcy thank you very much for the update!

Will the Guide's Pack or any of its accessories be retired?

I just got a Guide's Pack recently and I've been waiting for all its accessories to be back...

In the Singapore Zoo last Sunday morning with my new Guide's Edition Synik 22 in Navy Parapack. I'm really happy with how it looks.

I use a mini Ghost Whale for my AirPods Pro, and a glasses cleaning cloth. Fits both with some room to spare.

I think this is a great idea! It'd give people something to look forward to, a little brightness in these dark days. :)
