If anyone reading this saw my post from a few weeks ago you will know my Bellroy carrying handle broke. I sent an email and within 24 hours a new bag was on the way. Well, unfortunately this new bag had the same issue. I noticed much earlier and was much more careful because of the previous issues.
Bellroy has said they will refund the whole bag after contacting support. Either they have great customer service or this bag is a piece of junk that’s falling apart for everyone, I’m not sure. I wouldn’t recommend the Bellroy Premium Classic Backpack, but if you’re eyeing something else, their support seems up to the task if you’d like to try it.
Preordered the new AbleCarry as a replacement, hopefully it gets here sooner rather than later. This bag is literally falling apart in the wait…
Surprised these werent mentioned before but thanks to u/deegood for bringing this up in another post.
Love a slick urban / hiking functional bag like mystery ranch and evergoods, and these look like fantastic updates to the urban assault series. Really diggin the colorways too!
The 26 looks like the illegitimate child to the evergoods cpl26 everyone’s been raving about and looks pretty great. Will definitely be picking that one up.
So, as the title says, what’s the one item you bought while traveling that is now permeant for all future travels? Mine is hands down men’s “yoga pants”. It was a toss up between these and my microfiber towel bought in Mexico.
Here in Tbilisi, Georgia, the weather has been 26- 38 degrees daily since late November. I have 1 pair of jeans for that are my every day pants. The cold wind cuts through them. I feel like I’m wearing 2 jackets and a pair of boxers when I go outside.
Went rock climbing with some guys, and they all told me about how they wear yoga pants under other pants as a base layer. I definitely had to go get me some! Since I am on an indefinite travel trip, I need to keep my items usable year round. So no insulated pants, unfortunately. I am also a cheap person and enjoy the challenge of keeping costs down.
Holy Crap! Yoga pants are amazing! I now understand why every American female has an obsession about them. Wearing them under jeans is a …
I’ve seen several posts recently about first aid kits, so it felt like a good chance to share what I use. Scroll to the end if all you want are pictures.
Presented here is the smallest of several first aid modules I have, this one designed specifically for daily carry and integrating into the various bags I have. For those just starting, hopefully it gives you some good ideas for your own kit. For the veterans out there, feel free to provide any feedback you may have. While I consider this kit “done”, I’m still always looking for ways to improve it. With that out of the way, I’ll start with some design principles for this particular iFAK.
Goal - This primarily serves as a personal, daily-use iFAK that works well for both onebagging as well as use in a small sling bag for daily carry. The kit prioritizes mitigating or addressing high frequency, low impact medical events while also being TSA friendly. This kit does not …
I was surprised how much I liked The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (given I’m otherwise not a fan of Ben Stiller). The vibe of “drop everything and go” travel - and keep traveling, from spot to spot, just picking up whatever’s needed along the way - is really appealing and inspiring.
What’s your favorite movie involving travel, especially if it has a one bag vibe or inspires your own travels?
I have a pair that’s going on 10 years old and still one of my favorites. The four way stretch is so freakin’ nice.
The only other similar pant I’ve tried is the Mission Workshop Signal and I don’t like the fit nearly as much.
Shamelessly stolen from prior posts.
This is also where you should ask your WTF ID.
I’m going to an event where I need a jacket/blazer. I’d much rather wear my futureslimworks instead of a suit. Has any come across a decent suit-type jacket that would work with the more tech fabric? Thanks!
How’s the fit on the Bombtwill shank that just dropped? There’s a couple left in M I was thinking of snagging one. I’m 6’3 195, wear a L in UFT cut 2. However I remember trying some of their outerwear previously and it seemed to run a bit roomy.
Thanks
