Caught this bad boy at goodwill for $5 I think. Oddly enough currently it’s in my spare bedroom full of bags I’ve gotten at goodwill.
I’ve had this Swiss Gear bag so long I couldn’t even tell you the specs. I’ve used sling bags, messengers, satchels and other “traditional” backpacks. I always end up back here. This bag has been to other states, theme parks, cruises, and used as a diaper bag for each of my kids. Just wanted to show some love.
and whom to contact with my body and organs if i die (signed up for all organ donation and body donation for medical or forensic research).
Yesterday i saw a teenage girl collapsing at new Delhi station and i gave cpr, but unfortunately by the time emergency team with aed reached, she passed away. Further police are clueless who this person is, other than an east asian looking traveller. I’m still in shock.
I travel for months with carry-on only and by now I perfected its content to the point of it being a masterpiece suited for any travel. In fact I pack it after my every trip - not before. Because that’s when I know what item might be discarded or shrunk and which needs to be upgraded. Yet, just as this article mentions I have this annoying anxiety before every flight: what if I can’t find a space for it? What if they force me to gate check it and lose it? Having a guaranteed space in the overhead bin is one of the huge perks of flying business (for points and miles - I’m frugal). I actually do like checking my luggage but only when I fly to destinations where I stay for more than a few days - or home.
Anyway, here’s the link to the article and the full text in case you’re behind a paywall.

After reading tons of glowing reviews of this bag I finally pulled the trigger on the Osprey 26+6 to take advantage of every cm of Ryanair personal item size.
The one thing I wasn’t able to find anywhere was a picture of this thing in the actual sizer. Since the bag pushes the limits of the 42x30x20 sizer and the fact that I couldn’t find a single picture of one in the sizer I figured I’d post this in case it helps anyone decide. First like a glove un-expanded.
Also I recognize the fact that you can likely get away with something larger as long as it’s not egregiously sized but I just enjoy the piece of mind. :)
Just saw that the bombduex have an ugly, big logo on the back pocket. One of the reasons I liked outlier was the lack of logos. Anyone know if it’s easy to remove?
I previously did a 2.5 years of Ultrahigh Quadzip appreciation
https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlier/comments/axt2qj/thanks_outlier_support_25_years_of_ultrahigh/
and thought it would be fun to post the progress of 7+ years later to see how its holding up.
I only have had one backpack since then and this is it. Used it all through college, traveling, and in my professional career.
I have run this shit into the ground and haven’t babied it at all. It’s been tossed around, all sorts of items with “sharp” plastic corners like laptops or wonky object sizes stuffed in there. Dogs have been at the straps. All the ultrasuede pull tabs are pretty much gone after use.
I really like how light it is, durability is still there. It sits high up on the back and is centered well. You can see the interior is starting to unravel but thats okay. Technically still no holes.
I think from years of repeated use, the zippers are all kind of scrunched up …
The 21st century jean, cut loose with a 32” inseam. Lighter yet tougher than denim, the hardcore yet secretly soft Bombtwill stays clean and crisp while wearing nearly bombproof. The Deux cut is boxy with a calm, relaxed, DGAF vibe. Bulk buy eligible.
Relevant because I’m on vacation and wish I had had one in the airport. Nylistic merino was the last material expression, but iirc there was an F cloth version as well?
Anyway, if anyone is listening, interest is high. At least, specifically my interest is high.
And this isn’t a WTB r/outlierexchange post, but if anyone has an L they would be willing to sell, hmu.
