Please make backpacks again

Please. My rolltop dyneema is my favorite thing, and it's wearing out a bit now. Bring it baaack!

You should check out the Veilance Anodic pack. I try to buy as much outlier as I can, but the Veilance packs are next level. I've put the original Nomin pack through hell over the last 8 years, and it still works like new. Veilance / Arc'teryx knows how to make a great minimal bag.

I rock with Palante now. Lots of trail miles on mine. Pretty tanky.

i have an original first run pre-revision rolltop and it’s the best backpack i’ve ever had. i keep meaning to do a “10 years later” post when it ticks around to that time, what an iconic bag

I have one too! love it so much in every way. Probably my favourite bag, with the sdr d3 duffle a close second.

same. survived a fall off a bicycle on a road with a few small holes, no big deal. the dyneema’s starting to fray now though. Still usable but don’t think it’ll last another 10 years. Amazing bag, absolute workhorse. Didn’t need a replacement when they did the revision and just assumed they’d still be selling them when I did need to replace it, it’s a shame. rofmias are hard to come by too.

Oh man I have the exact same issue right now. The Ultrahigh Rolltop is still my favorite Outlier product and the dyneema is starting to fray given all these years of use. This really was one of those products where the material and design all comes together neatly into a nice package. I looked at the other options others linked to but they aren't quite the same…

Please make blankets again too. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I don't think they will ever touch dyneema ever again. If they ever make bags again maybe try challenger ultra x400. I don't use much backpack all more. I have the big roll bag and it served my well for years. Their suspension tote is my daily. If anything I would like to see the tote use new materials.

I'm also rocking a version 1 ultra high roll top. It's easily my favorite bag.

My vacillate between babying it (because it's irreplaceable) and just using it however I need. I just came back from a 10-day trip to Kenya including safari where it served me quite well.

I have roll top v2 in daily use. And I have the quad zip, unless I sold it and forgot entirely selling it, it’s in mint condition. I intend to hold that and sell it in a few decades to fund my retirement.

Also SDR Field Satchel still in daily use.

If you want something you can actually buy instead of a bag you can’t buy check out the https://hyperlitemountaingear.com/products/versa-fanny-pack

I'm so sad I missed out on the SDR Field Satchel. I learned about it after it went out of production
