Sooooo close to a perfect bag
Received the Bairn in Port yesterday. Very favorable first impressions. Lightweight, has a "personality" - The fabric itself isn't common in this type of bag, love that it's made here in Scotland, simple smart touches like the bright and water-resistant lining means items inside are easy to spot, and it's easy to clean, the rear grab-handle has been thoughtfully sewn so it's not just a flat strip of fabric, but a sculpted handle, the gusseted front pockets expand to fit items like a bulky 1980's compact camera (tried and tested already lol). 10L capacity is Plenty for days out and matches the largest slings - So if you're trying to decide whether to get this or a sling-style bag, get this - the shape is more versatile and practical especially when packed out, and (as the promo photos on this site attest) it can be comfortably worn high on the back, like a sling. Innards are capacious, and it's easy to get eg windcheater/gilet, camera, notebook, water-bottle/vacuum-flask, an EDC pouch etc in there w room to spare. Interesting there's no external pockets whatsoever eg an elasticated sleeve for a waterbottle, or a zip pocket on the rear or on the flap for eg travelcard/phone/passport - But the Bairn instead has a simple look, with everything on the inside - In a way, it follows the functionality principles of a traditional military haversack, rather than most modern messengers. There are additional practical touches that I've contacted Trakke about to better understand the designers' intentions - The D-rings on the buckle-straps for example, and the two tiny looped fixtures on the bottom. Why 4* rather than 5* - Ok, a specific use-case scenario. If travelling with this bag, I'd appreciate the option to slide it onto the retractable handle of a wheeled suitcase/carry-on. That rear handle is a couple of inches too short to accomplish that task - It seems like an oversight of a very easy design 'win', as the handle is Perfectly placed on the back - Why have one function when it can have two? Trakke, over to you...!
The mini-bannoch
I bought both the bannoch and this bairn as a set and have not stopped using one of the two daily. The bannoch is great for when I need to carry a little more but many days I just need the minimum and the bairn is exactly the size I need. Be careful if you want to carry a laptop, though. The laptop compartment is a bit small but my 14 inch thinkpad fits in the main compartment just fine even if unpadded on the bottom. I have to admit that I bought the cobra edition just out of the coolness factor but they also take some time to get used to if you haven't used them before... and they are loud where the g-hook system is nice and quiet. Overall- 5 stars for sure even at the fairly high price.
Artisan producer
I like artisan producers. The jeans I wear, the jackets I buy and the bag I bought. I feel that they invest more in their product and I’m not disappointed in this bag. Well made, sturdy construction. Fantastic material which upon initial use is robust enough for daily use but will age well with patina like scars to show its use over time. First purchase but most definitely not the last.
