2 Carry or Not 2 Carry?

In: Confessional|Rants

13 May 2009

I’m just gonna be totally vain for a minute…

I got some new gear recently which means I am on the hunt for the perfect bag. Or bags.

I confess…I have an unhealthy bag fetish. I don’t buy or own a lot of bags…but anytime we are in a store with man-bags, I have to look at them. Currently I carry a small tactical bag, that I love. But my new laptop won’t fit in it.

This week, I went out and bought two bags. I couldn’t decide. I’m so stinking picky and indecisive. My options are:

1. Carry my khaki tacticle bag and the extremely slim laptop bag I found pictured below.

  • Positive: both bags are super small, light, and comfortable. I can grab just the tactical bag if I don’t need my laptop. Slightly cheaper option, because I already own my tactical bag.
  • Negative: not much room, but enough. Always have 2 bags. Not good for travel. Not as much protection.

2. Carry only the Hurley backpack that I found.

  • Positive: its big. Lots of room. Only one bag. Good for travel. Good for workout clothes, etc.
  • Negative: its big. I’ll carry way more junk than I need. If I want to go somewhere without the laptop I’ll have to unload it. No drink holder and I usually have a drink.

So my vain question: Should I carry two bags, or one? Really, I apologize.

I’m gonna go with the backpack simply because the “tacticle bag” looks more like an ugly purse and I typically make fun of men with purses.

I would hate to think that you’re one of the men I’ve been making fun of.

as your sister, i share this bag fetish you speak of. i can’t help with your decision because i, too, suffer this vanity and could never make the decision for myself either.

while the hurley bag is amazingly awesome looking, you are right in that you will carry far more stuff than you need. and while the 2 bags would make it easier to switch from laptop to no laptop, you will be carrying 2 bags.

sorry i’m no help. :(

Jenna,

It’s a tactical bag. Do you know what that means is inside?

You have to ride a long way with me on Monday.

Well, I guess you’ll just have to go with what best matches your outfit.
