Thrifted an Everyday bag in great condition, just wondering how i could clean and disinfect it without ruining the “microfiber lining” and the hard divider inside
The outside is also fairly oily and the inside is dirty.
Any tips and tricks would be appreciated.
Taking this bad boy for a spin. 2-week trip in an island.
I’m carrying this + a medium packing cube + super tiny toiletry kit + slippers + my worn clothes. Going lightweight!
Just came across this and wanted to share it with the community!

I just recently got a new bag for onebagging and realized that my packing cubes either didn’t fit or fit very awkwardly and left oddly shaped spaces in the bag. I wanted to get a set that made the most of the dimensions of the new bag so that I wasn’t wasting any space. Basically I set out to find packing cubes that fit the internal dimensions exactly. In order to do that, I wound up creating a spreadsheet with the dimensions and volumes of lots of different brands and sizes of packing cubes.
​
I wanted to share the spreadsheet in case anyone else is similarly anal retentive or perhaps is just looking for different options of some popular cubes.
Here is the spreadsheet. Hope someone gets some use of it!
A few notes on some of the information
Greetings All,
Decided to buy and try a few different Merino wool shirts to see if they would be something that I could use for some future long term slow travel I am in the planning stage for.
I am 61 years old, 5’11”, 198 pounds, with a typical dad bod (a little jiggle in the middle). I purchased a short and long sleeve Merino charcoal crew shirts from Unbound Merino, a black and navy crew neck (78% merino/22% nylon) from Wool and Prince, a navy polo (78⁄22) from Wool and Prince, and a Smartwool Merino 250 quarter zip base layer top with all of these in size large.
To test them out I wore them daily with letting them air out a bit after use, used them in casual settings as well as for hiking and 5-7 mile runs. Luckily for me I didn’t have any issues with itchiness that some have had and even after ~10 days of use none of them smelled though obviously not as fresh as when I first wore them. They all have great length and hang very well on my frame, much …
Evidently they have a $23 “Carrier Interface Fee”. Who do they think they are, Ticketmaster?
My partner and I (totally me) have been a fan of the onebag life for a while and were determined to do it for the trip we are currently 3 weeks in to our 2.5 month travel through Europe.
I have been loving walking past the bag check humans and saying to my partner “hey, glad that ain’t us!”
I have the Farpoint 40 and she has the Transporter 40
I also have my Daylite day pack (I know not full onebag but it’s my first time give me a break) Only disappointing thing is that the Daylite is a few years old and the Farpoint is brand new, the buckles which attach the daypack to the front of the Farpoint don’t match so had to MacGyver some carabiners for now.
Alot if things have been learnt! Eg bought too many clothes
Ziploc bags are a practical way to store your travel toiletries. They’re flexible, see-through, and cheap. And a lot of us use them for onebagging. However, I feel like there are ways to improve the organization and travel aspect of this everyday item. In this post, I show how adding a bit of modification and hardware can attempt that.
I start off by finding a ziploc-style bag with the following characteristics:
|FEATURE|BENEFIT| |:-|:-| |Small-ish|Easier to segregate| |Slider open-close system|More convenient and secure| |Opening is on the long side|Easier to dig through items| |Has a bottom gusset|Can fit stuff better| |Food grade / freezer material|Thicker and more durable|

Any chance that we’ll be getting a restock on these anytime soon? Seems like quite a few people want them, but haven’t heard anything about it! Although if we’re already into the summer months, it might seem less likely now
it’s hard to dye plastic, so you have a special dye for that. You also have performance finishes. So you have stain-proof finishes, waterproofing finishes. Those are actually related, or sometimes identical, to what you have on nonstick pans.
I’m getting all plastic clothes out of my house. Shits destroying our earth and health.
Alden from WIRED article.
New to Outlier, first pair of OSDs (in concrete). Didn’t quite believe the “one travel pant to rule them all” hype. Three weeks in UK and Europe and they were the only pair I wore. They survived spilled beer, spilled red wine, grease stains, pencil lead, Scottish hiking trail dirt, and the doors of a Paris metro that tried to amputate my leg. Were it not for the color-coded diagrams above, you’d never know. Home for two days and I don’t want to take them off. I’m a convert for life. (But now I’ll wash them.)
I bought one of these hats and the cord broke where it attaches to the hat. Then I bought a replacement and it broke in the same place.
It’s a shame because I like the fabric and the 3bar mechanism works well (until it breaks).
Anyone else face this issue?
I’ve noticed lately that Outliers shirts are super fuzzy, pile with little wear, and are never quite cut the same.
I ordered a 3x pack. After measuring(before wash/wear or even trying on) the varied 1/4”-1.5”! Seems weird considering the cost.
Part of the purchase decision rested on peoples claims(for sure that is all they are) so I’m a bit disappointed. I’ve also had several other problems with QC on garments delivered to me.
Shitty since they were putting out some excellent clothes when they first began. Now it’s plastic, and lower grades cotton/wool.
tl;dr this bag is great for running and as a mini hip pack for urban use.
I haven’t seen a review of this bag/pouch and i think it’s one of outliers best products so figured i’d do a quick review.
Background
I’ve been running in Manhattan since 2001 and have always used some variation of a small pouch to carry some essentials. I’ve tried them all and almost all of them suck in one way or another. The challenge with these pouches has always been:
bulk: you don’t want something too heavy during a long run.
stability: you want something that keeps close to the body and doesn’t bounce too much
comfort: chaffing is a thing so it has to be comfortable against the skin with lots of prolonged movement
Enter the Magflaprunner
Stupid name aside the Magflaprunner does pretty good at all three.
It’s very light weight and sized just right for a phone and some extras like keys, a CC, or a running gel. it gets an A+ for bulk.
It has a stiff material backing that helps keep it extremely …
