Good sling bags for men?
Anything from Tom Bihn or Waterfield Designs (I think both are made in the US) or Mountainsmith (designed in US, made in Vietnam.) I have a grumpy back so the mointainsmith’s ability to move weight to my hips is a huge win when I need to bring a laptop.

The best men’s hand bag to buy right now?
Waterfield Designs all the way. I bought one two years ago and it has held up great and is just starting to develop a nice patina.

What is the Best Backpack for Laptop to Buy?
Likely over your budget but I absolutely love my Waterfield Designs backpack (I got the Airporter Backpack but they make everyday bags too) and I believe it’s truly BIFL quality. I recently took it as my only bag on a 3 day business trip and it was perfect. I had previously been using a cheap Amazon backpack that was literally falling apart after 3 or 4 years with relatively light usage, the difference is night and day

What brands do you trust to always deliver a high quality product?
Vitamix. Robocoupe. Bosch (kitchen appliances). Lee Valley/Veritas. Lie Nielson. Herder chef knives. Mac knives. G and L guitars. Taylor guitars (I'm not a fan of their style/tone, but their QC is best in the acoustic factory guitar scene. PRS guitars (some of the best factory electric guitar QC). Toyota/Lexus. They just work. I have a Honda, which is pretty reliable...but they chitzied on plastic floorpan clips instead of metal. Bottom of my car started going "whoosh" after 54000 miles. Never had an issue on my 1997 Corolla. Spyderco. Victorinox. Leatherman. solid warranty, and decent QC, even with all the Chinese clones. Mitotuyo micrometers. Built different. Tom Bihn bags. Waterfield designs. IMHO significantly better and tougher than Chrome (wore a hole through a corner in 1 month) and Timbuck2. Excellent ergos. Excellent workmanship and materials. Patagonia.
