Took about 3 months since the first message until delivery today.
EPX600 body, VX21 lining and Cordura 1000d bottom
18x12x7 dimensions
Quick size comparison for anyone else unsure about the true capacity of the the Dragonfly 36. I only loaded the main compartment of these bags.
ULA Dragonfly 36: Entire load fits snug. I included some detail shots of the x50 fabric which feels excellent. The patch stitching is accessible if someone was thinking of removing it. MLC Mini: entire load fit except for 2 sweatshirts GR1 26: entire load fit except for 2 sweatshirts
For anyone interested, this Elements Tech Case is a good piece of kit, but in addition to a Tech pouch, it also makes a decent dopp kit
Rick Steves has a few pointers on one bag travel on his latest post:
What do you guys think? Wonder if Rick Steves will be down for an AMA here.
Hello r/onebag! I recently made a post about my Aer TP3 and some alternatives I have been considering, one of them being the updated REI Ruckpack 40L (this thing). Making this post to provide some information and pictures since it’s new and, at the time of writing this, not yet in stores for people to try out.
For reference, I shop at REI a lot, but the only other bag I own is an older version of their Flash 22. I view REI branded gear much like I view the Kirkland brand from Costco: reliable, solid, nothing flashy. I think this bag lines up with those expectations. Just like in my other review, I’ll skip over the specs since that information is online. Here are some scattered thoughts:
I wanted to capture some thoughts I had about my first time experience of one bagging. This post is extremely subjective but 100% open to suggestions.
Little background: This was a 6 day trip to south Florida in the middle of summer. This was (sort of) practice for an even longer and hotter trip I’m taking later this summer.
