Hello again Manybaggers,
Jia and Zhi here from Rework Gear. Some folks from this community might have heard of the Toshi Sling 5L, which we posted about last October. Well this time, we’re here to share our newest release - the Toshi Pack 20L (available for pre-order for a limited time at a $20 USD discount)!
Staying true to the essence of the Toshi Series, the Toshi Pack 20L is built to streamline your urban journey with a clean, discreet profile. It carries over the same design philosophy as the Toshi Sling 5L — quick-access features and space-efficient paneling — but reimagined for the form and function of a backpack.
We’ve also put together another travel-style product walkthrough (because the last one seemed to resonate with the community). You can check out the full breakdown and features [here].
We know the Manybaggers community will have feedback/thoughts/questions, so tell us - what do you think? We’d love to hear from you and answer your Q’s!
I made a website where you can filter bags for some of the most popular criteria. Maybe it helps some people.

Not many posts/pictures of this beauty on here so thought I’d add it and answer any questions people might have.
A very underrated bag from Bellroy, the materials and comfort are amazing (weights only 350G).
I love the way it looks on body, a baby bellroy venture ready pack essentialy.
I bought this sling specifically for vacation so I could keep my pockets empty and bring the essentials with me. At first, I thought it was a bit too small, but now I love it and the size is perfect for me—especially on vacation, at the beach, etc. :)
On the way to the office, I spotted this well-traveled Tom Bhin S19.
Just another TB appreciation post.

I am finishing up our long Italy trip and felt it was time to dump my packing list for the trip. Red box is what I wore on the flight. Our itinerary included city stuff, backpacking along the coast, and hiking in the Dolomites. My bag was 18lbs before I added my knitting project.
Things I loved: 1. Phone tether (not pictured) 2. Scrubba bag (in partners bag) 3. All wool items
Things I would have changed: 1. I brought mainly technical clothes for the hiking portion and I wish I would have brought some cuter pants that could have done both hiking and going to the town. 2. I wish I had brought one or two more shirts because I’ve gotten tired of the same things. 3. I wish I had brought my buff. I am a huge fan of it usually, but thought that I needed to save weight. Could have used it many times over. 4. I would have gone for a better backpacking bag considering the amount of miles we did with the bags. This bag is awesome, but it just didn’t feel as comfortable as my backpacking bag. …
I’ve had this iPhone charger bracelet for a few years now, and it’s one of my favorite accessories to take when one-bag traveling because it’s functional + actually looks nice. It’s saved me on a couple of occasions when I forgot my charger and it’s a way for me to accessorize outfits, which is huge for me due to the limited clothing I take. I’m a huge fan of these type of multi-use accessories, and packing multi-use items helps me to commit to taking only one bag. I’ve been to finding similar/creative multi-use accessories like my bracelet. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar items that they’ve found?
I’ve never been on a European airline but heard they can be strict with carry-ons. I’m flying TAP from Toronto to Lisbon & Madeira.
Has anyone travelled to Portugal with the Osprey Daylite 44L or Fjallraven Farden 42L, or anything of a similar size.
Should I look into getting a smaller carry on pack or will I likely be okay using one of these?
This is what I brought to Iceland in early March for one week driving a rental car from town to town with many day hikes in between. Cold temps with a lot of rain, snow, wind and sunshine. Crazy weather patterns on that island. This pack worked well for me. Pretty much everything got put to use except for the first aid kit (thankfully), and I didn’t have to do laundry (I’ve done longer trips with one laundry stop per week). I decided against bringing much in the way of wilderness survival stuff as we stuck to well marked, popular hiking trails and didn’t camp. Let me know what I missed!

Hello. I’m a few months early on this year 2 update but the changes to my OneBag setup are complete for now. I am a minimalist, not really a traveller, so I live out of a OneBag for the efficiency / portability / extreme minimalism. These are my “core possessions” - I have other clothing for work, and another set of toiletries where I live at, but this is basically all I have.
I shot a video detailing all of these items, I’ll post it in the comments.
Here’s the gear: Merino.tech T-shirt, Merino.tech long sleeve polo shirt, Wooly weekender shorts, Express stretchy jeans.
Montbell Plasma 1000 down jacket, Eddie Bauer cloud cap shell, Wooly boxers, Calvin Klein boxers (at home use), Darn tough socks, Aer 14L City Pack,
Native Jefferson shoes, toiletry kit (Peak Design xxs mesh packing cube), first aid kit, Anker 45w USB-C wall charger, 10ft cable, Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop.
Rayban sunglasses, pen, lighter, reusable grocery bag, hand sanitizer, keys, SOG …
It’s verging on Memorial Day here in New York, a day we often forget is really about memory. It’s traditionally a day of mourning and while we are not there yet it’s important to remember that the old world is dying while new seeds are just starting to bear fruit. In other words get those Classics while you still can, the world is changing faster than some of us are comfortable with. We can’t solve all those problems but we do have a code to make it more comfortable on the wallet to grab some Outlier classics while you can. REMEMBER-THE-CLASSICS is the code and it’s good for 20% off any Outlier Classic until midnight New York time this upcoming Memorial Day (Monday May 26th).

An out-to-lunch shirt experiment [#524] in the open yet opaque Injected Linen fabric. A short sleeve collared popover with a chest pocket, contrast detailing and loop buttons.
A dramatically meshy tank top with loose fit. Thick, dense and smooth with a lot of stretch, Overkill Mesh manages to feel both completely open yet snuggly protective.
