I have no problem paying $200 for a nice pack. But when just two pouches from the same brand are another $120-150 it just triggers me (looking at you peak design/evergoods etc). Now it becomes $350 to carry my gear.
I could almost buy another backpack with that. You know what this reminds me off. First party $50 cellphone cases.
Yes i know they can charge whatever they want. Call me a brokie, downvote me whatever. I just had to get this off my chest.
Continuing to show off how absolutely perfect the Whitley is for me! I definitely need to upgrade my carry on situation though, considering the travel pro rollmaster lite 20” but deff open to suggestions for and hard sided spinner carry on or any way to improve my travel setup!
I just wanted to shout out Cotopaxi for their amazing warranty and support team. My original Allpa42 was in bad shape - the material covering the front of the bag was cracking and shedding. To be fair, I lived abroad out of this bag for two years in Sri Lanka, plus trips to Mexico, California, and a few other short stints here and there.
I reached out to Cotopaxi with a warranty claim and they sent me a shipping label for my old bag - I mailed it off, and they decided to just replace it with a new one. I got to choose the bag and color, and it was delivered at no cost to me.
This is why I always advise people to go with brands that back their products with killer warranties and guarantees. Nothing lasts forever, and if you are putting your gear through its paces, it is going to break down eventually.
Hi all,
Been on this Sub for a few months now and really wanted to find the perfect backpack for me. This was more for using a bag as a personal item rather than going carry on - as this saves my cost. However I am in the future considering the Nixon 35L Hauler or the Osprey FarPoint 40 just for that extra space to go travelling with.

Hello Reddit
​
It is my immense joy to inform you that I have just recently returned from a lovely trip for 12 days to Colombia, visiting Bogota and Medellin for 6 days each. True to the name of this subreddit, I traveled in one bag.
​
I started this trip by buying a new bag. I think the attraction to any onebagger should be obvious. Indeed! I’m amazed that I have managed to hold out this long without purchasing this fine piece of luggage. But after extensive consideration I made the considerable investment into a new ikea pivring backpack. It’s desirable qualities should be obvious to the serious onebagger, but for the uninitiated the name of the bag uses very few vowels and I’m not sure if I have ever pronounced it correctly. As a secondary feature the bag is also quite light, about 2lb less than my normal red bag.
Behold a whole nest of bags you too could use for travel
The bag may seem to be missing some non-features but after careful …

For the last 2 years I have been mostly living out of a daypack. Unlikely some people who have no permanent residence, I own a home which is typically being rented out through AirBNB or swapped through home exchange. I periodically return home for a couple weeks to reconnect with friends and sometimes to swap items stored in our garage. Nine months before we started this semi nomadic existence I select items for infinite travel and stored everything else away. Most of the items I “swap” in/out are stored in a 26l daypack. The exceptions are my bicycle, and specialized items for multi-day back country trips such as a tent, bear canister, backpacking stove, etc.
There are a number of personal care practices that would be consider heresy / shocking to people indoctrinated by the cosmetics / personal care product ads that …
Hello!
I’m going on a 2 month trip at the end of May and I’ve done all of the logistical thinking, spreadsheets, weather/climate research etc. to narrow down my choice of clothes to what I think I’m going to need while I’m away. Because I’ll be moving around so much and taking so many long distance trains and buses etc., I’m trying to keep it very, very minimal (and I’m usually not a minimal packer at alllll).
BUT I’m worried I’m going to just…get bored of all my clothes. I’m usually pretty expressive with my outfits, and I enjoy wearing funky things, interesting accessories and bold colours/prints/shapes, but I’m worried that two or three or six weeks in, I’m going to be absolutely tired of wearing the same clothes every day. Like, I know I probably only need one sundress and not two…but I’d love the choice of two, and a skirt AND light pants rather than just one…but if I add extra …

I took my NWS drawstrings out today and had to undo one of the knots. In case I ever want to put them back in and redo the fancy-ass knot, what should I google?
TL:DR; are Outliers slim dungarees a bit too dressy to be compared to regular jeans?
I own a pair of Swrve cordura jeans I bought ten years ago without really thinking about their construction, then read up about BIFL, one-bag travel clothing options and clothes made from more durable materials than standard denim, which at least explains why my Swrve have lasted so long. Further research led me to Outlier’s slim dungarees.
I prefer a more casual jeans style (ageing rocker), but read that the slim dungarees, which seem to be a popular option, were a bit more dressy/office compatible. If so, they may not be right for me.
I’d buy a pair to check them out, but I’m outside the US, so no free return postage for me. Can anyone advise if they’re a bit more formal in style than the Swrve?
I love the ramie material and would love a jacket or overshirt made from it, but I’m a plus size guy. Any suggestions for a summer top layer for hot weather that isn’t a linen shirt or short sleeve?
NOTE: The ramielust thread was very informative regarding sun protection. I’m looking for a little sun protection and a little structured appearance.
Hello. I’m looking for casual sneakers to wear under Outlier pants and sweatpants. I would like your advice on this matter.
I was thinking of getting Common Projects but the price is too high. Frankly, I don’t know if it’s worth it. What do you think about this?
Here are the other shoes I’ve been looking at
