I don't particularly care for bags with a load of organization. Rather, I prefer to be left to my own devices to keep my packs well organized. My go-to method for keeping things in their place is the use of "kits", or small packages of stuff I can grab and toss into any of my bags based on my needs. These Gear Stashes are perfect for that purpose. The Mini size makes a fine utilitarian coin purse/card holder. For travel, I'll stuff my ID, insurance card, debit & credit cards, and some cash in there. I can toss it in my back pocket like a wallet, or into my backpack or briefcase for a bit more security when a pocket carry is risky. The Small size is my "Everyday Essentials" kit, carrying a short phone cable, gum, a lighter, toothpicks, a pen, a small vile of antacids and pain killers, chapstick, and my albuterol sulfate asthma inhaler. It's worth mentioning that the Mini size will stash inside of the Small WITH all of the aforementioned gear, so it truly becomes a carry-all when I want to be out-and-about with everything I need. Finally, the Medium size is awfully big compared to its smaller cousins, and I use it for toting all of my tech gear like phone cables, wall chargers, head phones, external batteries, flash drives, etc. I think creatives will find this size perfect for hauling pens, pencils, brushes and styluses. Every one of these bags has their use for those of us who want to compartmentalize our belongings into nice tidy packages for easy organization and transportation. They're handsome enough to carry everywhere from the office to the bar, and the 15 oz canvas is rugged enough to tackle anything your outdoor endeavors toss at it. Stuffed to their capacity, all sizes manage to maintain a clean silhouette and slim profile. The stretchy loop makes opening and closing the bag easy, and is a great lashing point to attach a carabiner. The multitude of color offerings makes color-coding a breeze for those particularly nit-picky packers. All in all, the Gear Stashes are another great product from Duluth Pack.
