I have this smallish, but not too small, bag, that I can use to carry things. Among the things I use it to carry, depending on what clothes I am wearing and thus what pocket space I have, include my keys, wallet, phone, Kleenex, Chap Stick, and possibly Kindle and little camera. So, what do you call a bag like that?

Well, according to the manufacturer, this is actually a "Technical Lumbar System." It has a big Mountainsmith logo and actually has a pretty subdued color scheme as these things go, being mostly black recycled plastic fabric with just some bright, bright yellow zipper pulls and yellow elastic "rigging" with retro-reflective stripes. It is festooned with straps, buckles, clips, and rings, to compress or expand the pack, or on which I could, as the manufactures always word it, "lash" additional gear. It's got "low profile" water bottle pockets and a "Delta Compression System" load-adjuster. I can strap it to my waist, sling it over one shoulder, or replace the plain shoulder strap with a complicated double-strap and wear it like a weird low-riding backpack.

So, yeah, it is a purse, but I'm hoping the masculinity patrol will let me pass.

I've always wondered why there are no suitable or acceptable purses for men and likewise why women's coats don't have an inner pocket. Haven't fashionistas learned by now that both genders like to carry their money around safely and have their hands free? How dense can one whole industry be?
