This seems to fit my needs for a travel “personal item”; under-seat stowability, structure, that fold-down front flap so I can get stuff in and out without everything falling out. I keep my travel computer (Surface Go 2), USB-C charger, USB-C PD 20000 mAh battery, cables, medication, water bottle, OTE noise-canceling headphones, and e-reader on me at all times on flights. Should have it in a few weeks, currently on a slow boat from China. We’ll see!
EDIT: /u/buildingnumber3 is a good dude who ended up sharing his file directly, so I highly recommend checking out his packing list as it’s sweet. And if you like his packing list, then I encourage you to sign up for his emails!

I’m sure I wasn’t the only person who checked out this post and loved the idea of a packing checklist. Similarly, I’m sure I wasn’t the only person annoyed that the only way to get the packing spreadsheet that the person made was to hand over my email address. No thanks.
So instead, I put together my own Google sheet to (eventually) accomplish the same goal. Feel free to use it all you want, no email required.
You should be able to just do File > Make a Copy and boom, you’re very own packing checklist.
Add your own items to the checklist by just continue to list them in column A column B. Then just highlight the two boxes above until you see a little square in the …
On Tuesday, July 26, Outlier will drop their Adenselinen Boxford (https://outlier.nyc/products/experiment-323-adenselinen-boxford) and Adenselinen short-sleeved (https://outlier.nyc/products/experiment-324-adenselinen-shortsleeve
) shirts. They kindly sent me a Flax-colored Adenselinen Boxford to review.
First, a digression on Bast fibers, and evaporative cooling.
Linen, like ramie, hemp, jute and a few others, is a bast fiber. Bast fibers are derived from the phloem (inner bark) of the stems of a few types of plant. These fibers are usually hollow, and are generally good at wicking moisture. In the picture below, a cross-section of flax stem (from which one obtains linen), the phloem is the part labeled “BF”.
\“BF\” is where the Bast fibers come from. (Picture: wikimedia)
In my experience, bast fibers tend to have a different relationship with moisture than other natural or synthetic fibers. Some are better than others, but …
Experiment 323 - Adenselinen Boxford
A heavyweight shirt experiment. At 240gsm this is a heavy shirt or a midweight overshirt. The yarn dyed linen wears beautifully dry from summer nights through to winter days.
Now available in Flax + Pink, Chambray + White, Flax and Chambray
Experiment 334 - Injex Single Pleats
A pleated pant experiment in the radically open-yet-opaque Injected Linen fabric. Single pleats on each leg give them a crisp air and like all Injex wearing these pants feels nearly as cool as wearing shorts.
So being in the water so much this summer, I’ve started thinking about swim trunks. The things I’ve been thinking:
1- is faster drying possible? 2- fabric “sticking” to you while wet can be pretty unsightly 3- I like light colored shorts and they show wear faster (scrambling around tree roots and dirt) 4- some stretch would be nice
I’ve tried searching for more technical stuff, but the best I could find is vollebak ocean shorts. They fulfill a lot of things, but I hear the waist band takes a while to dry and wow are they long. I pretty much only wear NWS55s.
Anyone have ideas or recs?
Is this even in existence? Or a seasonal offering? I was looking at the Faroe from Mission Workshop but those look to be discontinued. I’m looking ahead for Fall/Winter and would like to replace my old long-sleeve Merino.
