Default From the Suspiciously Close To a Purse Department: The Man Bag Review

http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkonthe...the_man_bag_its



"A lot of you are familiar with my quest for the perfect gadget bag. Well to tell you the truth I'd settle for a bag that will carry all my stuff and passes my wife's "manly" test. You know, a bag that she won't laugh at and call my man purse. So, when I had the opportunity to review a bag called appropriately The Man Bag, I jumped. After all, if the slogan is "if it's not a Man Bag it's a purse!" it must pass my wife's manly test, right? The Man Bag is manufactured and sold on the Man Bag website. Actually the official name is the Man-n-Bag but they are known throughout as simply the Man Bag so that's what I call it. They offer several bags of different sizes but the one that interested me most was the smallest- the Axible. Strange name but, well, manly."

Unfortunately, I think that even the subtle application of a few spikes and Metallica stickers would not be sufficient to take the purse curse off of this bag. The closest I've gotten to a manly bag is a briefcase sort of thing that looks kinda like this. For trips where I need to take equipment but don't want to haul around something large, I rely on the fairly butch Podzilla. Who else here has this problem? Have you found something that works for you and passes the "Doesn't Look Like a Purse" test?

Can I say your Stanley Traveller does not pass the manly test either

If its not hanging around your groin (by a belt clip of course) it just cant be considered manly :twisted:

It's not a purse, it's a European Carry-all!

It's actually not a Stanley Traveller - it's a Franklin-Covey look-alike (please excuse the crappy camera phone quality):

Sadly, while my clown pants CAN in fact accommodate a laptop, they remain inappropriate for work.

How about something like this? http://www.eaglecreek.com/40242.html or http://www.eaglecreek.com/40241.html

Those look more like small briefcases, than that purse.

Yep. thats the most manly purse I've ever seen. But hey, if you are confident in your manliness you can wear anything.

Goes well with my Man-Girdle (tm), Man-Nail-Extensions (tm) and Man-Skirt (okay, the last one is a kilt and that's okay cuz I never wear it with my Man-Blouse or red paten leather high-heeled hiking/work/steel-toed Man-heels).
