Title says it all.
Underrated: tomtoc. I have one of their slings. From the various review vids I’ve seen, tomtoc seems to have the best bang for your buck in terms of materials, colors, and size.
Overrated: Goruck. This is just my opinion and I don’t own any of their products (yet). Please don’t kill me!!! But paying over $300-400 (the 26L GR2 XPAC IS $550!) for an EDC just seems like overkill. I’m sure they’re great bags but from a value perspective I’m sure there are good bags out there that are cheaper
Brought my 4-day old Aer Pro Pack 20L on a 13 hour flight when I noticed these stitching irregularities soon after arrival. The fabric underneath the handle (third pic) also seems to be more flimsy/un-straight.
Are these normal/harmless or do they warrant an exchange?
Those with Aer bags in particular—do you have similar imperfections on your bag(s)?
Sorry if I’m being excessively sensitive here, it’s a large investment for me.
Reading/watching about onebagging feels like getting an itch in my brain scratched or relaxing while watching a crackling bonfire. Best way I can describe it is ASMR. Does anyone at all feel like this?
I will read in here, or watch YT videos about it, like other people will watch cat videos, to unwind. On particularly stressful days I like to make packing lists for different types of travel, researching materials and tools and browsing products.
(And no, it doesn’t get me off 😆).
The onebag community heavily promotes merino-blend fabrics for tshirts, long sleeve shirts, and other items. I get the reasons: it’s quick drying, heat regulating, and doesn’t smell. I’ve bought a metric ton of merino products because of this. And, well….
I hate them all.
I tend to be traveling 60-70% of the time in hot conditions. Even summer in central Europe is hot. Merino is itchy, doesn’t feel like it breaths well, and is heavy. The only time it’s ok is if the temperature is below 22ºC and it’s in a sweater. I stupidly bring merino t shirts thinking they’ll be my onebag, but then it’s 34ºC in Barcelona and I hate myself and want to tear it off my body.
Cotton is actually a miracle fabric in hot settings. A good old cotton t shirt is lightweight, breaths well, and can be relatively easily washed (if you don’t mind wrinkles). Super cheap too. I’ve tried many blends and synthetics from Ministry of Supply, Western …
Missing the Ramie North Boxford, anybody have an idea if it’s coming back?
A heavyweight button-up, garment dyed, boxy and beautiful, made in Manhattan and dyed in Queens. The Acottontwill is 350gsm of cotton goodness, spun and woven in Italy by Albini. The Boxford cut walks the line between shirt and overshirt but at this weight, overshirt is the way.
Now available in NYD Radioactive, NYD Seeing Red, NYD Lemonice and NYD Pinkburst
Hello everyone.
I am looking for a deodorant recommendation that does not cause yellow and white stains on clothes. I don’t want antiperspirant, they stain because they have aluminum
I’ve been using Essentials arm and hammer deodorant for years. These don’t stain clothes, but I’m bored now. I’m looking for different deodorants. The scent doesn’t stay for long. What deodorants do you use?
Thank you very much everyone.
