Hey y’all. Just joined the forum. I wanted to share a bag that I’m playing around with after it was recommended by my daughter. This is a very light little crossbody from Uniqlo that runs around $19 USD. It’s gone a little bit viral for being able to hold a lot of stuff. I was expecting it to be pretty bag, but was surprised to find a pretty useful little packable bag that does indeed hold a lot of EDC. Somewhat purselike, but very useful for travel/beach etc. Interesting shape and construction.
It’s so nice being able to hang your bag anywhere… It takes the strain off your shoulders. My bag is the Aer City Pack btw
This is the third (THIRD) robic nylon GR1 I’ve purchased and it’ll be the 3rd one I’ll return unless you all convince me I’m being way too picky. Loose threads, loose stitch loops on EVERY line of stitching on the back of the shoulder straps. Same issues on the first two bags I tried. Scars called my first bag defective and sent me a replacement, so issues like this are defects as opposed to mere cosmetic issues in Goruck’s eyes too.
I really like this bag and I’m bummed! Thoughts?
This lil guy has somehow been overshadowed by its bigger brother the City Pack Pro, but there are many aspects and features that make the CP the obvious choice over the CPP.
The side carry handle (nonexistent in the CPP) makes the CP an obvious choice. Particularly when using it as a personal item bag while carrying a bigger bag on your back.
The front admin panel is just too convenient. While not every pocket or compartment can get used, they still add so much utility and convenience to store smaller EDC items.
The main compartment is underrated. Sure, the CPP’s clamshell opening allows for better access and overview when fully loaded, but as an EDC bag this feature is useless to me. A side access panel would be far more useful than a full clamshell opening. Additionally, the CP features two additional large pockets in the main compartment that not only have come in handy when wanting to dump my point and shoot camera inside my bag so as to keep it separate and protected …
I was talking to a friend who said he always brings a binder clip so he can bind his wallet to a curtain instead of the safe? Was weird when he first said it but makes sense - He got the idea from Maurice Moves
I’ve been a devoted one-bagger for a while, but lately, I’ve noticed a shift at the gate that’s had me rethinking my strategy. With airlines now charging extra for larger bags, it seems like everyone’s suddenly opting for cabin bags, making the overhead space even more sought after. I used to be pretty relaxed about boarding since I’d have my seat waiting for me anyway (cheers Ryanair/EasyJet), but now, I find myself joining the early queue more often than not, worried about finding a spot for my bag overhead.
Being 6’3”, squeezing my bag under the seat is something I try to avoid as legroom is already at a premium with those airlines. So, I aim to stow my bag above whenever possible.
Anyone else finding themselves adjusting their boarding tactics to ensure their one-bag fits overhead?
My wife’s bag burst on the way to the airport home… what do you think of this fix? 😂
12 day trip across Eastern Europe was successful. First big onebag trip and I was pleasantly surprised and felt rewarded after! Thankful for cheap laundry machines in hostels and packing cubes! Packed 5 t shirts, 2 pairs of pants, 5 pairs of socks, 7 pairs of underwear, shower shoes, hat (bought one after), chargers headphones toiletries etc. Bag was ripping at the seams at the end of the trip but worked great!
A double-stacked update on the M65 pants silhouette in the lightweight yet super-durable F.Cloth fabric. Like classic fatigues it has four front pockets, but instead of cargo pockets, a flap pocket is stacked on top of a slash pocket for a roomy but clean flow. Cinches at waist and leg openings adjust with a simple ease for maximum versatility.
A pant that wears like a short, made from a fabric remarkably open to the air yet opaque to the eye. Linen’s dry touch and beautiful aging character meets a radical warp-knit weft-insertion technique to create an ideal summer pant. Bulk buy eligible.
Now available in RD Darkness, RD Olive Territory, RD Concrete, RD Medjool, RD Black and RD Dry Tan
