I’m pretty happy with it. Granted I just got it and haven’t used it but the build quality seems really good. The design and pockets are well thought out. It met my requirements: - around 2L - xpac - wearable as cross body and fanny - aquaguard zippers - bottom straps - can hold a compact camera like Fuji x-m1 with 27mm pancake - bright interior
The price was about $85 USD
I wanted to just make an appreciation post! I’ve never been able to share my interests in backpcks/slings/messengers etc with anyone, but, I guess thats the power of reddit! Thanks for all the input and insight you all share everyday!
I went to Colombia from the US, did remote work, took some Spanish classes, wandered two cities, and got COVID (I think), but I took photos of everything I brought with me!
Things I brought and wish I didn’t:
The packable backpack. My main bag would have done better in the rain, and even though I used the packable day bag, I didn’t need to.
I don’t know why I bring three eye drops wherever I go. They’re all expired, and I don’t really use them. Something to discuss in therapy, surely.
Things I wish I had but didn’t:
I was kind of cold and could have used more layers. I briefly had a hat that I bought and lost, and I bought a sweater that returned with me.
Another pair of socks would have extended my laundry cycle a bit.

Not pictured:
Bone conduction headphones and phone that are always on my person.

Everything was in one bag on the way there but the kuala (fanny pack) and contents was …
Hi guys, I’d like to not pack any footwear on my travels and just bring the shoes I’m wearing. Do you have any recommendations for men’s footwear, something that looks stylish enough to wear in a more formal affair, but yet can also be used for long walks. Not for hiking as such, just general wear.
Waterproof Comfortable Stylish Sturdy
Does such a magic shoe exist?! Or maybe you guys can give tips against this, is it better having dedicated footwear with specific roles?
Have been doing a bunch of traveling this fall and wearing my 60⁄30 and was thinking about just how great they are. Comfortable for moving around or sitting on long plane ride. Easy to wipe down if the coffee shop doesn’t put the lid on your cup properly and it spills on your pants. No stupid extra pockets or unnecessary zippers.
Truly one of the the greatest products outlier has made. RIP
Fashion like this is not really my thing, so I’m sure I’m biased here to digest the images in a particular way, but setting that aside for a moment….
I see that the bottom of the email for Ideas 4 says that this collection (?) was “designed and directed by Willie Norris for Outlier.”
What does this actually mean?
I feel like it’s cool that Willie has this outlet and is able to leverage the resources the she has through Outlier as an entity to help with exploring it, but I’m kind of curious as to what this looks like moving forward in terms of how much of what is done is “for Outlier” the company and how much is “for Willie” the designer.
I wasn’t analyzing each photo with a fine toothed comb, but my GUESS would be that a lot of the pieces shown will either be one offs modified for the show or Experiments that won’t return as regular products, and if they do, are unlikely to sell well enough to justify …

Experiment 344 - Hard/co Merino Billboard
A pullover billboard cut experiment in the emotional armor of Hard/co Merino. High density cotton on the outside for serious structure and form. Soft merino terry on the inside for all the warmth and natural performance merino brings.
Sometimes clothing is psychological, and having a nice oxford gives one just a little extra confidence. For me, the NYCO Oxford fits so perfect it seems tailored, and has all the details to make people notice what a nice piece of shirting it is. I have it in “electric blue”, which feels so professional and proper when I want a little boost of credibility. So far durability has been good and I love the handfeel of the thick fabric and the high collar allows me to wear any kind of undershirt.
How are these holding up over time? I’m in the market for a Hoodie with zipper.. not sure I want to spend $400 on one unless it’s going to last a long time.. but figured maybe i’d help outlier out as they’ve been sitting there for nearly a year in stock, I think? And it seems like a really solid product.
I’ve searched through previous history and have a general idea about it.. it seems to run really warm which I want but don’t see much about how it holds up over longer periods of time. Anyone have experience with previous runs? Is this something that’s going to last me years with some basic fading?
The other question I have is will it fit under a duck shank? One of my fav combos the past few years is wearing a zip up hoodie under my medium duck shank (which honestly has a lot of space for layering) my understanding is that this hoodie is a little thicker than normal ones. Anyone ever try this?
Thanks
