Assume you’re telling the average person what bags they need to cover most occasions of their life, and you’re picking your favorites off the shelf. What is your Arsenal of bags?
When locking your bag(s), everyone has a way that works for them …
With that, at least for airline travel, a decade of major airline employment taught me to never use locks or anything easily identifiable as a lock.
The reason is, thieves (either opportunistic or pros) look for just that stuff because it announces “I have valuable things in here!” and they’ll just use a ballpoint pen or similar to quick-pry open the zipper and reach in without ever getting near your zipper pulls.

Everything was packed into a 28L Jansport Everett weighing 1.225 lbs and measuring 17Lx11Wx11D (if you count the outside pockets) and a leather crossbody purse.

Does anyone know of the Outlier crew ever talked about any OG tops/jackets coming up this year? It looks like there has been something called OG Free Shell (which looks awesome btw) but I am not sure that piece has been in the iterations in recent years.
Anyone know when the Grid Linen Bathrobe will be back in stock? i was told “in the fall” but I’m not sure a) if that’s true or b) when exactly that might mean …
