I’m a longtime CPL24 v1 owner that absolutely loves that bag. I skipped v2 because I knew they would just keep on iterating and I wanted to see what else they came up with. My new v3 just came in the mail.
The v2 made some important changes but wasn’t a radical departure. The new brain pocket, a better key leash, new interior pocket structure, and most crucially, bespoke hardware for the sternum strap.
The v3, on the other hand, is all about the material upgrades: a new fabric and a new mesh back panel. Initial reaction: so incredibly worth it.
I didn’t much mind the absence of mesh back panel on the v1. I’m not sure I believe there is much that can be done when it comes to back ventilation in general, except by putting the bag off your back entirely with an air-break like on some hiking backpacks. But the new mesh feels awesome. Just having a little give in the back panel is a real quality of life improvement.
But the biggest thing is the new fabric. I came to think of the old …
Hey guys, It’s my first post so be kind 🙏
Four years ago I (25m) lost my father, and for the last four years I haven’t had time to take a break. I have had to focus on surviving and getting my degree and career going. But life has been kind of meaningless and I have frankly been quite unhappy. So with the advice of my mother in mind I decided to travel the world. On a mission to find happiness.
So I quit my job. And rented out my apartment. Luckily I had some money saved so I have the opportunity to travel for at least 6 months. So far I have a ticket to Canada in a months time (I am from Denmark 🇩🇰). Here I will start by traveling for 2 weeks with my brother who starts university at Toronto. But after that, there is no plan!
So here is where I could use some help 🙏
I have been looking at different bags and equipment I would need to travel in true one bag style.
The bag I wanted to buy was the Aer travel pack 3. But unfortunately there is no retailers in the EU. So do you guys …
I’ve been moving around uk/Europe since the start of October and loving life.
I have a small services business I run/work from my laptop.
No accommodation costs and minimum travel expenses.
Its awesome and life is amazing.
EDIT: I travel with a farpoint 40L (45 was an error and doesn’t exist), and in colder times of year/destination a farpoint65.
And always a trusty ultralite waterproof rolltop stuffsack.
Kicking off WTF season: my two packs arrived in a massive box. Opened it up to find… some sort of insulated duckcloth shank? Anyone want to help me out IDing this?
Other pack was a pair of Yes pants, which was what I was hoping for in the bottoms department.
It’s been about a year since the website redesign. At that time, Abe indicated that the extremely large images / horizontal scaling was an intentional choice that they were unlikely to change. The site as it is now, is essentially unusable on desktop. Zooming out doesn’t work. I could resize my browser window, but TBH shrinking it to less than half my screen is more friction than I am likely to deal with. I used to window shop the site on a regular basis, now I don’t even always click through new item emails.
This seems like something that would be easy to correct. I wouldn’t imagine it’s costing a ton of sales, but I’m pretty sure it’s non-zero. Is this something Outlier is willing to fix?
Received in a WTF bottom pack. Size 30 is ~50” inseam; total length is >60”. Appear to be pants made for someone really tall or for stilt walking. Perhaps I can cut/hem?
Photo is side-by-side with a pair of bomb dungarees (33.75” inseam for reference).
Based on label (100% cotton) and feel, seems like duckcloth?
Are select NWS $88? At least yellow is, as I just grabbed a pair for that price.
