- Rain jacket
- Extra stuff (this varies but could include shorts, file folders, books, etc.)
I realize this is a bit ambiguous but I'm just looking for a general idea. I'm also looking at the Rivendell Baggins Adam and Hoss bags.
The Barley is one of the smaller Carradice bags. Peter White has a pretty good outline of all of them at
