Greetings, 

Wondering if anyone might have a Swift Motherloaf bag no longer needed. Gathering bits for a Patagonian adventure, and this would be very useful.

Cheers,
John

I'm not aware of a Swift bag with the model name "Motherload" like in the subject line -OR- "Motherloaf" like in the text of the post.  I am aware of a model called the "Sugarloaf", and it fits in a Wald 139, and I have one of those that I may be able to part with, because it would help finance a more matched ensemble of Swift bags.  

Is the Sugarloaf what you want?  Mine is teal in color.

Researching a little, it looks like there used to be a bag called the Motherloaf, but it's not made anymore, and as far as I can tell there has never been such a thing as a Swift Motherlode.  

So there we are.

Yes, Bill, you're correct. I mistyped my subject as 'Motherload'. Thanks. I believe the Sugarloaf is designed for the 137 basket. 

Cheers, John

Right about one thing.  Wrong about the other two.  one out of three is...pretty bad.  

Good luck with search -AND- with travel planning.  The bag I have to fit the big Wald basket is a Riv shopsack.

Well, you're still way ahead of the game based on what you bring to this community.

Thanks. I do have a lead on the Motherloaf.

Cheers, John
