Will use it for work and some classes, feels very solid, definitely has the TUMI premium feel and build quality (loved the orange stitching on the top handle). Not a lot of room to spare but it’s a nice daily backpack ; fits my 16” Lenovo Legion perfectly.
I recently bought this bag as an everyday pocket reliever. The 0.8 L volume is perfect. This thing has really blown me away.
First off this design is as simple as it gets and I love it. There’s one zipper on the outside just for the main compartment and it’s my favorite thing about the bag. I absolutely hate the stupid front pocket every sling seems to have because it’s just a waste of space.
The internal organization is just brilliant, this is a true pocket reliever with enough space for one or two extra items besides your wallet, phone, and keys.
I love the fabric choice, it feels great to touch and very sturdy.
The one caveat to this bag is that I actually wear it as a crossbody bag aka man purse kind of way. The sling way feels fine, but unnecessary so I’m wearing it only crossbody. It hangs by my side and easily swings to the front or back when needed.
The only negative and I think I saw it mentioned in a review is that the strap unloosens when not wearing it sometimes so you …
So I love the Aer sling but I hate the Fidlock buckle. I found it opening up on me pretty often. I looked around this and other similar subreddit and found a good amount of posts of people replacing the buckle and it always seemed kind of jank. Then it dawned on me to use a elastic strap keeper to keep it closed. Simple, elegant and doesn’t add weight or have to deal with sewing the strap of cutting a slit into a plastic buckle.. I used 1.75” band from Amazon and it fits perfect.
Anyway, hope this post helps someone out in the future!
I recently picked up a used Rip Ruck 15 (hard to find in the UK!) and started wondering what the MOLLE webbing across the top of the main flap could be used for. After some hours of browsing every UK tactical webstore I could find, I came across the Bulldog Tactical 16x10 Utility Pouch. Perfect fit for both width and height, and mercifully slim in profile, so doesn’t stick out too far from the main bag.
I daresay I won’t use this all the time, but will be handy for days when I need a stash pocket, eg when going through airport security checks. The RR is a great bag, but it’s main failing to my eyes is lacking such a pocket, which is typically found on many other EDC-style bags by Mystery Ranch.
I want to make a post in 2022 to continue my long-running yearly onebag post streak, however my bag hasn’t changed much since my 2021 post. I did update my website a few months ago, but it’s frequently shared in this subreddit (wow thanks!!) so you may have already seen it. Rather than post the same stuff again, maybe I can make this update worth reading with some onebag content?
First ever onebag trip
In 2015 I wanted to visit NYC and explore the east coast. I had some money saved up, so I planned a few weeks of travel and packed everything I thought I’d need into a 24L Timbuk2 Rogue. I definitely overpacked. The bag probably weighed 20lbs. I still have that packing list if you want to make fun of me – I literally brought pajamas and a roll of duct tape.
Fun side adventure: my bank balance hit 0 while on this trip, with most of my money locked up in PayPal (they didn’t have instant transfer back then). So my last few days of this trip were spent searching NYC for restaurants that …
What garment or gear was holding it down for you this year? What did you find exceptionally reliable or reliably exceptional?
For me, 2022 was a year of simple needs and cozy delights. So my most valued pieces in 2022 are my daily drivers.
Objects: Alphawoollinen Duvet - My warm season cover. Handles moisture exceptionally well and the outer linen has a great feel. I wish for duvet loops and an Alphawoollinen shawl.
Layers: After a few winters of near-everyday in Co/weight Merino Pullover Hoodies, I’m fully transitioned to Paa Hooded Pullover Sweatshirts - a looser, all cotton deal. Breathable with heft, cozy in the right places, stacks beautifully, layers easily. No notes. Apparently not in their FW22 though.
Shirts: Ultrafine Cut Two T-Shirt & Longsleeve - For a while I favored Cottonweight, but for slick layering and moisture management, Ultrafine has regained its rightful place. Breathable with heft, cozy in the right places, looser in the right places in the right amount. …
Just picked up new charcoal and dark olive Strongdarts and love them to bits. They dress up, they dress down, and they taper oh so well. That said, my black Strongdarts from last year seem to be even Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Hence my conclusion that Black is the Strongest Dart.
Hey team, just wondering if anyone can explain the difference between dark ink and the old dark indigo colour? Are they the same?
Going to Taiwan from Jan to Feb and was wondering if I should pack the ramielusts in addition to my merinos
Hi! I’m dying to know: What are the Asics that model Nick is wearing on the Injex Paraglider page? Page linked below.

Thanks for your help!
I was shopping for the Vollebak Waterfallproof Parka but just discovered the Mission Workshop Bremen. How’s the longevity of the Bremen? Does it ever go on discount?
Also, how does the coat perform under a bag (some jackets get screwed under the straps of a backpack), is it durable and breathable? Is it suited to be an everyday jacket?
I’m lowkey thinking of foregoing the vollebak discount and going for MW Bremen based on aesthetics… this looks like the perfect everyday jacket.
Also, can someone help me understand the different options; which is better — wool or como?
and is this good for city cycling.

i haven’t gotten any answer on the MW subreddit but I know that outlier and MW have a lot of common fans. Can any of y’all help me out here? I can’t find any reviews anywhere :/
