    I once had to throw away a full flask at the airport because I forgot I had it in the side water bottle pocket. (which is a perfect location for it) The TSA agent said if I "emptied it" I could keep it.. Suggesting I just drink it right there... while that was super tempting I decided I shouldn't start my first day of vacation in Chicago blasted from 8oz of Jameson at 5:30am. Also, I love my Rhake. I have the first gen MCB and literally ordered my VX in white today. They're doing a 20% off deal which knocks $94 off the retail price. Well worth it folks. Hope this helps anyone considering ordering it. It's a great bag.

    Hey, excellent review! The price for VX and Multicam actually went up and now $475 at MW website. Also quick note - load balancing straps have been removed on the recent Rhakes including VX version. It's nice to see that the inner lining is also different on VX version comparing to a standard and Multicam. Cheers!

    Tedd Arcuri you’re correct. It’s quite supple. WX is nice but it’s a different bag experience ya know? Depends on the use case. I bring my bag everywhere and do everything with it. From work to beach to camping to you name it. WX can hold up of course, it’s the oldest form of waterproofing. But it does require more care (namely re-proofing from time to time) and it of course will patina which may or may not be a desirable trait.

    Love your review and I just bought the black HT500 version online. While waiting I came across your review and was wondering why no one has talked about how the ARKIV railes on the shoulder straps work. Are the ARKIV rails simply hook-n-loop webbings which you can attach the ARKIV pouches to? Thanks!!! Can't wait for your reply.

  • @MissionWorkshopReviews

    2 жыл бұрын

    Fair point. I didn’t mention the Arkiv rails because most every MW bag has them nowadays. I did do a full review of the Arkiv system a while back on their main Arkiv bag, the R6. Arkiv isn’t a hook and loop system but a proprietary system that only works in the MW universe with their own accessories (although there are some hacks). It’s relatively simple and involves sliding Arkiv brackets on the back of the Arkiv accessory (e.g. cell phone pouch) over the nylon strip. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmd8paeQqcm6aZM.html

    WX is completely different. VX is the best fabric you can get. However, for that heritage look, nothing beats WX and its patina that develops over time. However, waxed canvas must be re-waxed at home from time to time.

    I hate that Pull Out Water Bottle Holder. The Bag is Beautiful. The Mesh Bottle Holder is Visually Disgusting. Would you want to Wrap your Leather Briefcase in Mosquito Netting at a Board Meeting? It's Strange Material that Lacks Security, and isn't Robust. There has to be a Better Way for the Rhake to Hold Water.
