The North Face Berkeley Field Bag Review

Adam Molina — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 17:00:00 +0000

Whether you’re looking for your next adventure pack or a new commuter bag, The North Face is a trusted brand with plenty of options for you to choose from. The right sling can make all the difference between a comfortable day hike or commute and a miserable one. Typically, bags for the outdoors and into the office rarely overlap, but the Berkeley Field Bag is a special case that just might do the trick for you, depending on what you’re looking for.

Design

The North Face Berkeley Field Bag is a comfortable 5L sling bag with a simple cube design. Its dimensions are roughly 7.28” x 3.15” x 11.02”, which makes it the perfect size for when you don’t need a full backpack but still want to carry your gear comfortably. A single adjustable shoulder strap makes it easy to carry for long periods of time while multiple pockets hold your essentials. There’s also a lash tab on the front of the bag, giving the bag a more vintage aesthetic and letting you attach extra gear that you might need onto the bag.

Durability and Material Quality

If you’re looking for a bag to bring with you on your next hike or to carry your essentials into the office, you can trust the Berkeley Field Bag to get the job done. It weighs just 265g (9.3 oz) and is made of a durable water-repellent 400D recycled nylon. One thing to note is that it lacks water-resistant zippers or something similar, but as long as you don’t get caught in a monsoon, it should protect your gear from everyday wear and tear.

Storage Capacity and Organization

The North Face Berkeley Field Bag features three different pockets, so you can separate your gear in a way that makes sense to you. A smaller outside quick-access pocket is perfect for tools you’ll need most often, like a knife, phone, or even a few snacks. It even has a zippered pocket for smaller items you don’t want rolling around. Then there’s a rear pocket for important items you want to keep against your person, like a wallet or passport. Lastly, there’s the main compartment, which is large enough to hold an iPad Mini, a first aid kit, and a small everyday carry pouch.

Comfort and Ergonomics

The Berkeley Field Bag is a lightweight sling designed to be your companion while you’re out and about. The adjustable strap lets you adjust the tautness not only to carry whatever you throw in it adequately but also depending on your activity. If you’re commuting on the subway, you might choose to keep it a little looser so that you can swing it around to your front to access your gear quickly, but if you’re going out on a hike or a bike ride you might want it tighter across your back to keep it from flopping around.

Accessibility and Ease of Use

A good sling bag stays on you but doesn’t get in your way as you go about the day. The North Face Berkeley Field Bag is perfect for that. It’s easy to carry and swing it around to whatever position you find most comfortable, and at the same time, quick access pockets let you get to your gear in a pinch without needing to take off the bag. Besides the main shoulder strap, there’s also a handy top handle so you can always carry it at your side if you want.

Price

One of the best aspects of this bag is the price tag. It only costs about $50, which isn’t bad in the world of everyday carry slings. Most comparable options are slightly more expensive, and a few can easily cost you hundreds of dollars.

Pros and Cons

There is a lot to like about the North Face Berkeley Field Bag. It’s a convenient size for everyday carry and offers convenient, easy-to-access pockets to stash all your gear. The material and overall construction of the bag can easily withstand daily use as well, though the lack of water-resistant zippers is something to keep in mind. The best thing about it is that it will only cost you $50, which isn’t bad at all, plus it comes in a few nice colors as well.

Conclusion

The North Face Berkeley Field Bag emerges as a versatile solution, blurring the lines between an outdoor adventurer’s necessity and an urban commuter’s convenience. Its compact 5L capacity and sleek cube design strike the perfect balance between functionality and comfort. Whether you’re looking for your first sling or your fifth, this one should be on your shortlist.

The Drop: Tactile Turn Nitro Seasonal Pen

Jonathan Tayag — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 17:00:00 +0000

It’s a big EDC market out there, and tons of awesome gear is released all the time. We made The Drop to help you discover the latest and greatest essentials worth a spot in your EDC.

If you’re the kind of person who needs Nitro Cold Brew and lots of it, we’ve got just the thing for your everyday carry. While the Tactile Turn Nitro Seasonal Release won’t automatically make and dispense coffee for you, it does celebrate our shared love for coffee, the drink that makes the world go round.

It starts with their Side Click Titanium body, with a rich dark brown Cerakote finish and cream-colored hardware that evokes a dark brew and the light splash of milk you get in a good latte. And as masterfully crafted as latte artwork, a lightning bolt mug design is precision engraved on the pocket clip. The Nitro Seasonal Release is also available in Tactile’s Slim Click profile if you prefer a slimmer pen. Both versions come in Standard, Short, and Mini lengths to meet your needs. Remember that the Parker-style refills work on Standard and Short, but the Mini uses the exclusive but smooth-writing Pilot G2 mini refills.

Like all Tactile Seasonal Releases, you have a limited time to order the pen, but you’re good to go as long as you order before December 31st. Pull two big shots and send it in by tonight because the Tactile Nitro Side Click Seasonal Pen is your perfect companion for your next trip to the coffeehouse.

What we like: Aside from the playful coffee lover’s aspect of this pen, the golden brown Cerakote body of the Nitro is excellently crafted with undertones that make it more than just a paint job.

What to watch out for: Tactile has also released an optional ceramic Diner Mug and a coffee bag of premium beans from Voltage Coffee Project in Decatur, Texas. It’s currently sold out, but there will be a second batch coming soon that you can look out for.

Final verdict: You don’t have to like coffee to like this pen, but it doesn’t hurt. Tactile Seasonal Releases continue to deliver, and this pen is an excellent opportunity during the holiday gift season to spruce up someone’s everyday carry, especially if it’s for yourself.

The Drop: Orbitkey Hybrid Work Duo

Jonathan Tayag — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 13:00:00 +0000

It’s a big EDC market out there, and tons of awesome gear is released all the time. We made The Drop to help you discover the latest and greatest essentials worth a spot in your EDC.

(Editor’s note 11/13/23: The Hybrid Work Duo is now available and shipping directly from Orbitkey’s main site. The links in this post have been changed to point to the official product category page.)

For digital nomads, it’s essential to keep EDC simple. When items can play more roles than one, including them in our everyday carry is more valuable and practical. That’s why the dual nature of the upcoming Orbitkey Hybrid Work Duo works so well for people who rely on tech on the go. It’s a high-quality laptop sleeve that doubles as a classy and durable desk mat for hybrid remote working conditions, whether at a coworking space, a spot at a local bar or coffee shop, or a desk at home.

The Orbitkey Hybrid Work Duo consists of what they call the Hybrid Laptop Sleeve and the Orbitkey Compendium. It’s a two-part recipe for mobile working success. The Hybrid Laptop Sleeve is as it sounds: a leatherbound laptop sleeve with a unique twist. Once you take your up to 16-inch laptop out of the sleeve, it unfolds to provide you a clean and stable desk mat experience to organize your desk and let you use a mouse too. Alongside the Hybrid Laptop Sleeve is the Orbitkey Compendium, which, like the Hybrid Laptop Sleeve, is made out of vegan leather but also contains an A4 or A5 compatible pocket for a notebook and assorted payment and identification cards.

Each item would work well independently, but both are now available by securing a pledge on Orbitkey’s open Kickstarter. Orbitkey has a long track history of delivering quality everyday carry products to market, and these two items promise to provide the same quality experience that the community has come to expect from Orbitkey.

What we like: Together as the Orbitkey Hybrid Work Duo, the Laptop Sleeve and Compendium come together as a highly practical yet extremely aesthetic work-from-home (or work from anywhere) set of EDC gear.

What to watch out for: Standard crowdfunding disclaimer here, so just be aware of how pledging on Kickstarter works. Because Orbitkey is releasing the Hybrid Work Duo as part of a Kickstarter campaign, you may have to wait longer than traditional gear releases to get these items in your hand. Thankfully Orbitkey has a rich history of designing successful EDC products and delivering on their promises.

Final verdict: If you’re looking to protect and organize your tech every day carry as your work-from-home or work remotely, the Orbitkey Hybrid Work Duo is your faithful companion as you go from place to place.
