UPDATE: I emailed the company, they have listened and heard this feedback, and have offered a refund which is a relief to me. Hopefully they’ll revisit their fabrics and come out with a stellar version 3 of this bag. Thanks to everyone who has commented and shared their feedback, it’s good to know that I’m not alone in thinking this is bad!
Hi folks, I wanted to share an updated review with you following my initial disappointment with the Pakt Travel Bag. I remain disappointed, as while the inside functionality is useful the bag fabric picks up every bit of lint and is just not professional to travel with.
Context: I’m a solo business owner and was travelling for business, testing one-bag backpack travel for a short domestic trip to see if I found it comfortable ahead of a longer trip to Europe. I’m in Australia, and there’s one online retailer in region that stocks Pakt. Being on a short timeline, I bought from Rushfaster rather than shipping …
Hello! Today was D-day 80th anniversary in France and Tom Hanks was invited (with Spielberg because of Saving Private Ryan) And Tom Hanks wore what it seems an incredible backpack. Is somebody know which bag is it? Thanks you!
Got my Bag of Holding just in time for my move to Japan. I think they sent me a bag of 10 Kick Starter badges instead of just 1 pack. I reached out to them to see if they want me to send 9 of them back so others don’t miss out on their badges.
Not the type of reassuring information a customer wants to read about:
Hope this helps anyone looking to kick their carry on & baggage fees on their next trip and go #onebag

Hello fellow OneBaggers - I recently came back from a 32 day trip in the Land of the Rising Sun - JAPAN! This was my 3rd time there and as with the other 2 trips it was absolutely amazing and memorable.
#| THE LOGISTICS
I spent 4.5 weeks with an 18L backpack as a T1D and with some travel filmmaking gear. Due to T1D (type 1 diabetes) I need to bring a ton of critical medical supplies - I had a medikit with most of the supplies stored in my backpack but also always carried at least 2-days worth of daily supplies on myself, in a small waist pouch that also contained some other essentials.
I also brought the fantastic DJI Osmo Pocket 3 - Creator Combo kit with a 3rd party lens kit and a travel tripod. The camera gear (excluding the tripod) were stored in a small organizer wallet …

I originally ordered a pack for this trip which was similar to a bullet ruck but ended up being too big. All of this would easily fit in a 15L pack. Last minute had to dump it in my CHZ22 because other bag would’ve been uncomfortably big. I ended up dumping my tech pouch into one of the internal pockets and my misc bag into the other internal pocket. Items in my sling will swap between there and the quick access pocket

Every time I go to book tickets there’s always some kind of baggage fees outside of a personal item?
At least the flights i’ve looked at.
I’ve flown spirit from Florida to Texas before and it was cheaper or just as expensive to check a bag than to have a carry on of a much smaller size. I went checked bag.
I’m in PR right now and remember it being $30 to carry on a bag each way. Then $70 each way for a checked bag. I brought snorkel gear so I flew with a checked bag.
​
Just got back from a 2.5 week trip to Europe (left middle of May for future reference). Flew EasyJet and WizzAir so had to stay within their constraints, not that they really cared about checking bags: my friend got his 40L pack on a WizzAir flight no problem. Was in London, Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Molveno (alps) and Milan (way too many places I know). Wardrobe was pretty basic but got me through and allowed me to squish my bag into the sizer no problem. I wore my sweatshirt and hat during the flights to save a bit on space. When not in use, my sweatshirt fit nicely …
Summary: it’s expensive but the fabric is extremely luxe and unusual and the shirt is very elegant. If it lasts a while, it will be a worthwhile addition to my wardrobe.
My shirt arrived today.
I have to say that I’m annoyed that every time I rush to buy something from outlier it seems to linger on the shelves and if I’m even an hour slow, it all seems to be gone. Nevertheless…
I rushed to buy the black medium. In a pivot I’m a large but I am a medium in the Boxford. I’m 5’9” 170 with 32⁄33 arms. The shirt fits me very nicely. There is enough to cover my belly and the sleeves come just down to the end of the wrist. It looks sleek and clean and I like the smaller collar.
I’m sure everyone will come to their own views about the fabric but papery cotton does a very nice job of describing it. When I hold it up to the light i can see through it but it’s opaque when worn. The fabric is incredibly, surprisingly light and it feels like nothing else I’ve ever had in my hands. …
A meshed out short-cut-shorter experiment [#429]. Thick, dense and smooth Overkill pushes the limits of what constitutes a mesh, threading the border between opaque and transparent. Cut loose and easy, with a 6” inseam and an inside/outside 3Bar+paracord adjust. Strictly for the bold.
A clean and deceptively simple pleated pant in the radically open-yet-opaque Injected Linen fabric. Forward facing single pleats give these pants a sharply boxed out look in a pant that feels like air. Ships unhemmed.
