If I can I fit my lunch box in my bag if I’m not carrying too much, otherwise it’s in my hand. Sometimes I can straight up out my Tupperware in my bag too which makes for way more space. How do you pack your lunch? Any compact lunch boxes you’d recommend?
What do you guys think about the new Evergoods Panel Loader Classic 20L? I was wanting to get a CHZ22 but the back panel issue kept me from pulling the trigger.
I’m not sure I’m 100% happy with the new backpack material….I like how the other models look.
I am trying to figure out if will be too small for me…I’m a 173cm male.

I won’t preface this post as much last year’s, but I’m happy to share with y’all another year of my fulltime onebagging. I have a new bag this year and I’m happy with the setup. I always say there is no such thing as the perfect onebag, just the perfect onebag for you. That could all change and I’m sure next year’s will be different, but—in this moment—I feel like I’ve come close to reaching what’s perfect for me.
I live out of this bag permanently and, aside from a small box at my parents place containing important documents and mementos, this is everything in the world that I own. Everything that follows is largely what I need to travel most anywhere in the world and covers the majority of my travel activities while providing the needed balance of maintaining daily life. In the past year, this setup has comfortably gotten me …
Hi everyone, I’m all about that one bag life, long time listener etc. As many of you, I use packing cubes to organize my stuff. Additionally, at least one of those is always a compression cube; I am a big boy and so are my clothes, so every cubic cm helps. Recently I’ve come across a few videos where people recommended using a compression sack, arguing that it saves even more space. I started wondering if there is some truth to it. So I went out and bought one (well, I ordered one online) and this morning, I conducted an experiment.
Candidates:
Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Compression Cube size M; cost me about 25 EUR
Sea to Summit Compression Sack 10L; cost me 22 EUR
Load:
I chose this particular configuration because it’s typical and I know that it’s just about the maximum I can cram into the packing cube. …
Hey /r/onebag!
I just returned from around six+ months of traveling around Europe and South America while working remotely.
I did an insane amount of research and planning into what I’d bring and how I’d pack, so I figured I’d share what was good, bad, and what worked, and what didn’t.
I’m not going to share the full packlist, but here are some of the things I think are worth mentioning:

PeakDesign Travel Backpack 45L w/ rainfly
Rating - 11⁄10
This bag is absolutely perfect in every way. It’s expensive, but the quality and engineering are unbelievable. It’s everything asked of it and more. It’s comfortable, holds a crazy amount of stuff, and most importantly, elegant and discreet so you’re not looking like a tourist (as much as possible). Bought the rainfly as well but only ended up needing it once or twice.
Here are some pictures: Open, Closed 1, Closed 2

I’m a single father of a 4-year-old from Zaporizhzhia, and we’re set to leave for the border tomorrow because things are heating up here as well, and I don’t want my son to become an orphan. The problem is that the bus organized to transport everyone who wants to leave allows to take one bag of things, and that’s it.
​
I’ve never traveled for a long time with my son before because he was just too small, and I’m not sure what I’ll need apart from medications. I want to ask for advice from people here because you guys seem to know what is essential to take with you.
​
For the context, my bag is similar to this leather garment bag - it’s not overly big, but it’s roomy enough. Here are the things I’ve packed so far:
​
- one change of clothes and a pair of shoes for me and two sets for my son (warm and lighter)
- medications
- documents
- I’ll be taking thermos with tea and …
Compression straps and buckles over main compartment zippers for example. Undoing a strap or buckle everytime to unzip the main compartment is an annoying design flaw that can easily rectified by sewing the strap before the zipper.
Bonus question: which bag company will disappear in the next 5 years?
About a week ago, I was sent this unreleased bag from Outlier to give my thoughts on. It has no official name, but I’m assuming it’s the same bag Hasan is wearing from the IDEAS 3 shoot, which was given the name “Nexhigh CARRY”. Is it also similar to CARRY? Yup.
With that being said, I’ll talk about some of the things I enjoyed while using it this past week and any downsides as well.
Here’s some shots of the bag and how it can be worn: PHOTOS
FABRIC
Nexhigh is the replacement to ultrahigh dyneema composite Outlier used to use in their bags. I won’t get into technical details, but nexhigh has a thickness and rigidity to it that is confidence inducing. Ultrahigh? Not so much. I’m actually comfortable taking the nexhigh carry anywhere and don’t mind tossing it about. As of now, only superficial marks show on the backside and minor dirt stains show on the white inside fabric.
PARACORD/3BAR STRAP
I was skeptical with using paracord …
I’m doing some data analysis on Reddit data and as an Outlier fan, I looked at the posts in this subreddit to see what products are mentioned the most. It was a bit tricky to handle all the synonyms and acronyms like UFT, NWS, SD, StD, etc. so the data is not 100% correct. I also merged different versions like Cut One and Cut Two for simplicity. The timeframe is around 500 days.
If people find this interesting, I’ll publish more analyses in the future like “how did mentions change over time?”, “what’s the sentiment for a product (over time)?” or “what topics are people talking about for a product?”
A relaxed and boxy short that combines proper tailoring with performance materials and swim-ready features. Belt loops and a proper fly mean it can dress up. Draw strings and powermesh pockets mean it works great in the water. The lightweight and breathable F.Cloth is super durable and feels great to wear.
A singular short for the furthest possible use. Tailored for daily wear, engineered for superior performance and swim ready so you can jump in anytime.
I have been patiently waiting for an Other Peoples Product post for April but since the days are ticking away and this community is my primary audience, I decided to run the gauntlet and post myself…
TL;DR my Rugby shirt is similar to the Alphacharge Qzip with a few alternative details, styled like a Patagonia rugby shirt.
I made a 6+ minute video comparing the two here, where I go into extreme detail on everything…
Using Outlier speak, I’d describe this rugby as the stretchy fabric from the OG Climbers, with an interior Runweight merino, with some Alpha60 insulation used sparingly. It even has RiRi snaps and blocky tape!!
Let me know what you think, happy to answer questions (and/or to merge this into the proper thread…)
I need a bag for some onebag travel that I’m doing this year. Requirements are that it lets me take up to the max allowable on a flight as carry on and is adjustable to some degree. Dyneema is a plus. Badass looking is a nice to have.
Discovered the Blackmile Mile one bag via an instagram add (thanks Meta) and just packed it up.
It’s a neat bag and has some very Outlier aesthetics and ethos.
The bag has two parts to it. A bottom compartment that zips shut and a top compartment that has a rolltop that closes with magnetic fidlock and clips.
I have it set up as shoulder carry but it also has backpack straps.
It’s quite nice. The price is pretty competitive for a bag of this quality.
Some photos of it packed to about 75% capacity.
Also reminds me of SDR Traveler (now defunct).
Not sure where it went but one of my gostwyck t’s reappeared in my pile of t shirts the other day. I’m a huge fan of wool, especially next to my skin, but there is nothing at all like this one.
I’ve got stuff from icebreaker, smartwool, ibex, loow, sunspel, outlier (duh) etc. in merino, cashmere, alpaca, even qiviut. There is nothing like gostwyck and nothing like what outlier did with it. (Sunspel put out a very nice gostwyck shirt a year or two ago and loow has some very nice fine fiber t’s but they are all thin and relatively insubstantial). It has an incredibly silky smooth feeling on the skin and it is simply the best t I’ve ever had on my skin. It’s a silky wool hug every time I put it on.
I remember at the time thinking it was hella expensive and who pays that much for a t shirt? Well I did. I think I have three of them and they’re worth every penny if you ask me. It’s the incredible combination of silky fiber and a substantial elastic heft that makes this a truly unique …
