I’m starting to get attracted towards having a moderate sized personal in addition to my backpack. It’s not about overpacking, I’m seeing this has advantages even with a 50-75% empty carryon:
• you can keep all your tech in the same bag. Easy to reach for in the plane or to unpack in security lines.
• I hate having to reach in to the overhead cabins in flight or have full pockets. This is my most hated aspect of one bagging.
• This let’s you bring back a gift or two.
• your main carryon backpack doesn’t have to be stuffed.
• Extra pair of shoes when needed. Not always necessary but like I’m going to a business conference for a few days, and I need a third pair of shoes (for personal or fun travel my setup is just 2 pairs plus some sandals).
Any other 1.5 baggers or thoughts on additional small bags?
Is Osprey packs going out of business?
I ordered an item from them in February and it took 3 weeks to ship because of “warehouse issues”.
I placed another order on March 3rd and they sent me a used item.
After a few days of trying to reach support I finally got a new one ordered.
This weekend I checked my bank statement and noticed random amounts of charges from Osprey without any orders matching the amounts.
Their support is down on their site, my emails from 2 weeks ago have still not been answered, and if you call you immediately get a message saying all support agents are busy and the call is ended.
I googled their parent company and saw their CFO resigned and wanted to see if anyone was having similar issues before contacting my bank.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks all, Love this subreddit.

EDIT: I do love the company and have ~10 of their products but don’t want to be the one holding the bag on these weird transactions with random …
I’m very fortunate to have been given a review unit for Experiment 361 Nylistic Paragliders by the Outlier team. In exchange, I’m sharing my comprehensive and unbiased review. While I didn’t pay the monetary price for these pants, my thoughts are shared with consideration towards that price. I received a pair size XS in Sagebrush.
The nylistic paragliders are an experimental pant from Outlier. The main features include waist and ankle cinches, stacked front pockets, a long front rise, and a wide silhouette. All of these features contribute to the overall presentation of these well-coordinated pants. And they are just fantastic to wear. But first, lets talk about the material.
Nylistic merino is a great choice of material for the paragliders. This nylon and merino blend supplies these pants with the benefits of …
Review: Experiment 351 - Amerinoco Boxford
If you’ve been following my fitpic exploits on the Discord, you know I like a Boxford. It’s a great fit for those of us that are embracing (or seemingly unable to escape from) our Dad Bods. It’s a great shape for me, being a bit shorter in length than most other button up shirts while also accommodating enough for my beer belly. My Boxford collection includes multiple Ramienorth, an S140, and an Adenselinen.
[Aside 1: If you’re wondering, I do regret returning the Nyco Boxford in 2019 and I definitely regret never buying the Technolinen Boxford that sat on the website for many many weeks after release.]
[Aside 2: WTB Technolinen Boxford, L. Please. I’m begging you.]
I find the Boxford shape works well for WFH Zoom calls, a casual office/professional environment where you may not need to tuck in, and for a get together with friends at a bar or house party. You can tuck them in for functions if you have to, but that’s not my favorite look …
