Only problem with Acorn is you have to order their gear as soon as possible on the first day of the month before they sell out. Good luck with that.

I also have a Carradice Barley, which is high quality and holds even more gear than the Acorn bag (altho Acorn makes a similar model). You can buy a Barley direct from England for not much more than the VO bag, and can get free shipping if you order from Wiggle and spend at least $80 or so.
