Shelf
A practical material-science guide for people who think too much about bags.
Carry Bags
Nylon, polyester, X-Pac, EcoPak, Ultra/UHMWPE, waxed canvas, leather, and the carry system they end up living in.
Home Bags
Carry-tier film, trash-tier can liners and contractor bags, compostable alternatives, polypropylene textiles, and paper.
Bag Components
Zippers, straps, hardware, mesh, insulation, thread, adhesives, laminates, and how components fail.
Shapes & Forms
Profile taxonomy, top-loaders, clamshells, slings, quick-access, internal organization, and modularity.
The Baggers
Behavioral taxonomy along five axes, sourced from community polling. Deadpan, taxonomic, affectionate.
Field Reports
Five bags carried long enough to say something specific: what each one turned out to be for, and how that differed from the brief on its product page.
Edge of the Field
Fusion-bonded mono-material composites, hybrid woven UHMWPE, and the construction-class frontier.
