Travel pack

[jmhUT]

Good evening gentlemen,
I am in the market for a travel pack. C&E has one that looks nice @$66 and they are currently having a sale so that is the one I am leaning toward. Any advice? I'd be interested to know what you all use. I'd like to get a somewhat nice one that will not need to be replaced so I don't mind spending a little money.
Thanks,
Jeff

Check out TJ-Maxx, Marshalls, or Ross. I was at TJ-Maxx today and i saw a nice brand name leather travel pack for $10 or $15.

Going completely the other direction, I use one of these:

Not cheap but excellent quality.

At TJ Maxx I bought my son and son-in-law an original leather Dopp brand bag for $15. They are usually $35.

John,
I have lusted for that hot little number for many moons. Please tell me that it is terrible so I can stop wanting one.

Kyle,
It's terrible and you'll never see me without it while I'm travelling. I got the tan oiled crossboarded hide one which is a bit softer than the faux croc finish (which I bought my brother). It ages really nicely, since the honeymoon period where I'd keep it in absolute pristine condition. It now has character, which makes it look much better. I use a Magellan Travel Kit to decant my usual products into small but safe Nalgene bottles which fit very nicely inside.

Here's mine with it's usual contents:

I don't think I'll ever replace it, it's pretty much perfect.

Gee, Kyle. . .I think you'd hate that travel bag. Why don't you buy one for me, and I'll review it, too, to save you the hassle.

I just checked at the Gentlemans shop and found they are now out of stock. Obviously Kyle is now trying to corner the market on these.
You might want to check this one out at Overstock.com:

HAHAHA!

I think I can make myself wait until Christmas, though it will be difficult.

Go to the Briggs & Riley site, they have very nice toiletry kits, leather or ballistic nylon, your going to pay but the quality is worth it, I travel weekly and could not imagine not having one of their kits, it holds everything I usually use and hangs up on a hook or in the closet.

Thanks all, too many good suggestions. I'm holding off for the moment to research further.
Cheers,
Jeff
