Rather than take a picture on my bed, last time I was in an airport for too long I made a little sketch.
This is my basic onebag thinking. The individual items vary from trip to trip so they are represented mostly generically, the list has options for most things which are largely dependent on mood or location for travel:
Starting from the top row which is mostly carried in pockets or worn:
Shoes - Converse Chuck Ts or Vans, work for the gym and comfy for walking
Socks - Darn Tough, like all the socks on the list. I prefer them over Smartwool or Bridgedale any day.
Underwear - Under Armour Tech 6”. Really comfy, dry fast.
Pants - Rab Radius Pants - Fit me really well, hard wearing, look okay in most settings.
T-Shirt - Usually an Icebreaker merino.
Sweater - Some merino thing from John Lewis
Light Jacket - Rab Borealis Tour for …

Backpack
Peak Design Travel 45L - Overall, outstanding pack that worked out great, but I echo the typical complaints you hear about it: Heavy, over engineered, thin straps, no load lifters, difficult sternum/waist strap. Otherwise, it was reliable, functional, durable, adaptable and would have likely carried better if I didn’t bring so much crap.
Packable Day Pack - Gonex 20L - Just a cheap $15 backpack on Amazon I got as a placeholder until discovering something better, but it held up really well after three weeks of daily use. Also used as my personal bag on the plane to hold in-flight items.

I’ve been searching for the ultimate “one pants” for a long one bag trip next year…
I pretty much exclusively wear a dark charcoal pair of Uniqlo Smart Ankle pants day-to-day which I purchased for $50 a few years ago. I love them — they fit well and are super comfortable and flexible (67% poly, 29 viscose, 4% elastane). However, they’re not great in warmer or humid weather and get sweaty quickly.
The ultimate all-year pants:
After seeing Outlier recommended so much on this forum, I took a plunge and ordered a pair of Outlier Futureslimworks pants and shorts. They were not cheap and I was very excited to try these and they arrived today. I have to say I don’t understand the hype — am I missing something?? They fit okay, …
A pant that wears like a short, made from a fabric remarkably open to the air yet opaque to the eye. Linen’s dry touch and beautiful aging character meets a radical warp-knit weft-insertion technique to create an ideal summer pant.
An unlined two-button blazer made in Manhattan with the radically open-yet-opaque Injected Linen fabric.
A compact jean-style jacket featuring matte black stainless steel shank buttons. Made in Manhattan with the radically open-yet-opaque Injected Linen fabric.
It’s gonna be May!

will there be “Yes” equivalent version of Injected Linen Pants? I feel like Injected Linens are perfect for loose and comfy settings and I’d see myself favoring more if they had “yes” pants type of bands. thoughts?
