18 oz canvas, bar-tacked
Bags rated by what they carry.
Heavy waxed cotton, bar-tacked at every stress point, with the capacity in litres and the tested load in kilograms on every listing. Straps are replaceable, not sewn shut.

- LOAD TESTED

What the numbers mean
Bags fail at the corners, never in the middle
- Litres
- Measured by filling the bag with beads, not by multiplying the outside.
- Tested load
- Hung from the handles for 24 hours. The figure is what held, not what fitted.
- Rewax
- Wax wears at the folds. A tin and a hairdryer restores it in an evening.

Bags fail at the corners, never in the middle
