The Blackpack blog: a maker’s experience, not a retelling of other people’s reviews
We have been designing and sewing bags and backpacks since 2017, so on the blog we write about what we have tested ourselves. Here the founders of Blackpack share their experience: how to choose a model for your needs, what to look for in materials and hardware, and how to organise your things so they are easy to use every day.
What the blog covers
- Articles — buying guides: which bike bag to choose, how to pick a strap for your bag, how Cordura, X-Pac and UltraGrid differ and why the leather line is priced differently.
- EDC (Every Day Carry) — what to carry every day: real kits of Blackpack owners, 10 useful small items for your organizer and how to pack for travel.
