Bought on Amazon because I wanted a fun way to carry my airpods, phone charger and other things. Admittedly it’s kind of silly and unnecessary but I love it
I’ve used the City Pack for a month and loved this bag, but the capacity is a bit small for me. When I have my computer and iPad in the bag, it’s hard to squeeze in a fully packed AER Slim Tech Pouch into the main compartment. So, I sold it and got the CPP, which offers much more space, though it’s not significantly different in size from the CP. I guess it will be with me for quite a long time.
I went with the Fjallraven Ulvo Rolltop 30 and my partner with the Patagonia Mini MLC 26⁄30.
Could’ve been more efficient, although we did a trip to Europe which required us to wear all of our warmer clothes and plan what we carried in our pockets. As we didn’t need to this time my bag came to 6.4kg (14.11 pounds) (7kg (15.43 pounds) allowed in Vietnam and Australia):
Brought 5 shirts: - 2 Uniqlo Airism - 2 Western Rise Merino Tee - 1 Western Rise Limitless Button Down
2 Shorts: - 2 Western Rise boundless short - I was going to bring some chinos for the plane, but it is currently 30+degrees Celsius and humid so glad on that decision.
5 pairs of jocks/underwear
Extra clothing: - Western rise Merino hoodie - Enlightened Equipment Visp Rain jacket - Will and Bear William Hat - icebreaker socks for comfort wear in hotels or on a plane (yes in sandals) - did not take the arcade belt as pictured
I brought along the scrubba wash bag to wash everything with paper detergent for the …
This was an American Airlines flight, on a Boeing 737-800. The Aer City Pack Pro fit the personal item sized just fine, and fit perfectly underneath the seat of the airplane in basic economy.
I’m absolutely loving this Tropicfeel backpack and I packed it for a journey to Italy and especially Milan.
The backpack offers great versatility with a zipper that extends the bag, a pouch beneath to put shoes in and a net in front to put miscellaneous items in like a jacket. This means when I need to I can fit a LOT in this pack and when I arrive at my destination I just zip it down when unpacked to make it as a day pack.
In this setup I kept it simple. Putting my camera cube below (heaviest so most comfortable at the bottom) which includes a fullframe mirrorless camera, a 24-105 lens and a drone with extra batteries and remote.
Above that I’ve got my 2 Amazon basic packing cubes which contain 4 t-shirts, 2 shorts, underwear, socks and swimming pants. Enough to last me at least a week without washing.
On top of the cubes I’ve got my Tropicfeel Fidlock toiletry which can be hung outside of the bag whenever I need more space. But for now, to keep it as clean as …
Wow Patagonia truly design a perfect bag that fit all my travel need. This bag fit everything I would ever need for a quick weekends fly away trip to or a week cruise trip. It is so easy to pack and the electronic compartment fit all my electronic need. The electronic compartment is a game changer for sure as alot of travel bag are so focus on their carry on clothes compartment that they completely neglect electronic or barely put much thought to it. Patagonia didn’t chose that route and equally focus on both compartments in their design
For a long 2 weeks vacation, this bag help me eliminate my worries about potential lost luggage headache as it able to pass by as a personal bag for big national long haul airlines. I would still check in my luggage since I usually need space for souvenirs and gifts from my trip but I put all my clothes and toiletries and electronics inside my MLC. At maximum capacity, it was able to fit everything I needed for 2 weeks trip AND still able to snug …
Saw u/Daedalus42 post earlier today about the Black Hole bags material changing and went to my local Patagonia store to check it out. Love the new material, it feels great, and the straps seem much more cushioned now on the bag.
​
The Pale Periwinkle, Smoulder Blue, and Black looked great in person. I ended up walking out with a Smoulder Blue 25L. Took some quick pics feel free to ask if any questions!

Molecular Deux, releasing August 1st at 1PM.
TL;DR: This is essentially a pair of jeans. The Molecular fabric looks, feels, and performs like real denim, but with the added advantage of having Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) as a core for the cotton so you can feel cool and indestructible. “Beware” of sizing if you’re not used to wider cuts. But do go buy these pants, they’re great and maybe we’ll get to see that fabric in other forms (molecular shank jacket?).
At $395, they’re expensive, but not outrageously so, especially if you compare them to other raw denim offerings from the usual brands. Personally, at this price, given the choice between two pairs of bombdeux (same cut in the bomb material, $225) or one pair of the molecular version, I would go with the molecular deux. The material is unique, they should scratch the itch if you’re wanting to branch out to natural fibres with a twist if most of your pants are synthetic (like me), and the cut feels …
A calm, relaxed and nearly-bombproof 21st century take on a jean. Cut high and wide for a loose, but not too loose, DGAF vibe. Built with Bombtwill, a custom developed fabric that is lighter yet stronger than denim, with a whole lot of structure.
TLDR: 7-5s are great. I’d describe them as extendo 5-5s. They could become Outlier’s most versatile, belt-looped short.

I am currently 6’2” 207 lb, wearing size 35 Seven-Fives in Sagebrush
Yes, my title is a factual statement and there’s a good reason for it. F. Cloth has proven itself to be Outlier’s (potentially most versatile) workhorse over the years. It can be worn in warm weather. It can be worn in cold weather. It can be dressed up. It can be dressed down. For me personally, F. Cloth really shines in shorts form. Almost all of my F. Cloth use comes from shorts, aside from the futureyes pants. If I had to travel the world with only 1 pair of shorts, they would be made of F. Cloth.
The newly released Seven-Fives (7-5s) are a happy medium between the popular Five-Fives (5-5s) and the recently released Ten-Fives (10-5s). The naming convention simply indicates the short’s inseam length, respectively: 5.5”, 7.5”, and 10.5”. This means that the 7-5s …
Hey everyone! Genuinely curious as to why Outlier has moved away from 4-way stretch. I recently got a pair of the Ultra Ultra Easy Shorts and love the stretch, and I must say that they are much more comfortable than other pants with 2-way stretch.
To be clear, I’m not criticizing the brand, just curious. Thanks!

The Outlier folks were kind enough to send me a pair of 7-5 to take for a test ride. I live in San Francisco where it’s a shorts year round kind of place for me so I have a lot of shorts.
Back when I lived in NYC, I was early in with Outlier. My first pair of shorts were The Wurst Shorts. I picked them up pre WTF when Outlier did in-person warehouse sales. I’ve had these shorts since 2010 and have been wearing them ever since. It’s just this year the seams on the ass have started coming apart.

​
Fast forward a decade and I got my first pair of New Ways. The cut was slimmer than my trusty wursts and felt a little more grown up.
​
Before I move on to discussion on the 7-5s and their shorter sibling the 5-5, a bit about my body type. I come in at a whopping 5 ‘4”. Longs just aren’t going to work for me. I won’t be porting 10-5, they’d come past my knee and that’s …
Experiment 365 - Molecular Deux
An ultrahigh molecular weight denim experiment in our calm and relaxed Deux cut. Cut high and wide for a loose, but not too loose, DGAF vibe. Built with Armalith Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Denim for that lighter than water, 15x stronger than steel energy.
