If you’re looking for lightweight gear that goes beyond high-performance, you’ll need to look in an unusual place: The world of competitive sailing, where even the tiniest advances in materials can mean the difference between winning and losing. And even though we hope you won’t need to use Shinola’s 10,000 Mile Tote as a mainsail, it’s made of the same racing-quality stuff you’d find on today’s top boats.
Dyneema is the innovative fabric that gives both sails and this bag their signature ultra-lightweight toughness, and its one heck of a fabric. With 15 times the strength of steel, it’s truly built for the long haul. Pack whatever you want in this tote, from loose nails and ball bearings to your laptop and cell phone (preferably not at the same time), and rest assured that they’re safely stowed away.
