Edit Title: Don’t mean necessarily buying, but just window shopping as well for onebagging stuff.
I had to travel out of state to see my wife’s parents last year, and in trying to find some good backpacks, I stumbled upon this sub and into the rabbit hole of onebagging.
Since then, I been reading reviews, guides, and amassing a bunch of gears and acccessories. I love the idea of having a bunch of gadgets and essentials in a bag and being prepared and comfy for a day out of hiking, traveling, flight etc. Worst of all, I can’t stop looking at backpacks. I have daily fantasies for a long time about packing and using my stuff.
I almost feel like a poser and wished I had some kind of travelling in my life style. My work is a mere 4 minutes from home and I don’t have the extra funds to do much traveling.
Anyone else similar?
I was curious and had an extra $30 to burn so I added a DaKine 27L backpack to a recent order at Sierra.com. (Gotta get that free shipping!)
I picked up this one. It’s the 365 DLX.
Granted, I haven’t taken it on a trip yet, but I will. The quality seems really good. It has a water bottle pocket, a good sized fleece “sunglass” pocket, a thick bottom panel, and well thought out organization pockets. It’s also light weight.
If you’re wondering about which bag to get, this would be a good place to start. This bag cost me 10% of what “premium” backpacks sell for, at least here in the US and it’s about 70% as good, with large variety of sizes and colors.
That’s a good price to quality ratio.
I’ve had a handful of people find my first post about this bag recently and ask for a follow up because I guess there aren’t a lot of reviews on it. So I thought I’d give an update on it.
It’s still my daily driver. I work in TV broadcast so this bag visits a lot of loading docks across the country. So not only is it my travel bag but it’s small enough to use as an every day carry. Which I really like cause now all I have to do is throw my clothes and toiletry bag in it and I’m ready to go.
###DESIGN
Some have asked if the clamshell design is annoying as an EDC, and my answer is no. REI designed the zipper layouts really well on this thing. I also have to add that the zippers are really nice. Nicer than you’d think for the price tag. Easy to manipulate with one hand and they don’t catch on themselves. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that they didn’t try to make them waterproof. That’s what the rain fly is for. …
Lurker here but never post on Reddit so apologizes for any issues. I was in my local Naturkompaniet in Sweden and was trying out bags for an upcoming onebag purchase I have been obsessing over. I tried on the Farview and noticed it had the laptop at the back and low and behold it had just come it!
They had the blue in FW and grey in FP. The blue was a lot more kinda shiny with darker sheen than it’s online listing.
My dingy photo to see. I couldn’t take more as I was in a rush and there were a lot of people around haha but feel free to ask questions!
I really liked it! The blue color (and the grey FP) was nice and so comfortable. Everything seemed to make sense and the compression side panels were nice! I read somewhere that there were foam but as far as I could tell they are the same material only.
And my dilemna is that at first research for my upcoming life change I will be in professional (well tech startup) situations but mainly remote work travel through Europe and I had …
yall are getting greedy. i get it, its lonely at the top and you guys know your shit. good quality, made in US (mostly) it costs money.
but does it cost this much? no. no it does not. no one is saying you guys have to be a charity. but simply put, you’re charging too much for your clothes and you are risking alienating your existing consumer base.
don’t water down the brand. keep it light, keep it moving. you keep charging these prices, man. even though i’m sure many people can afford it, off principle they’ll stop paying.
yall can mock me or ban me call me a broke boy or whatever idrc but its true and someone needed to say it. you guys have become a bit too big for your britches and it is best now to nip it in the bud while you still can because i and many others like this company and want to see shit go right

Hello fellow materials nerds! I’m looking for the closest equivalent to Outlier’s workcloth that Toray manufactures for a personal project - does anyone who is close to this kind of thing have any suggestions?
Was considering picking up a pair of Bomb Dunagrees and really wanted something in a green/olive. Their “dark olive” color is darker than I’d like. Just wondering if there has been any mention of a lighter green coming to the bomb dungarees. Maybe more like the sagebrush color they offer the futureslimworks in.
The sleeves are way too long for me. What do you do? Just cut them to the length you like? Thank you for all your help.
