Alpaka Vertical Sling to the rescue, works a treat.
Just got my 26+6 bag in! I live in Europe and plan to use it for short weekend Ryanair trips.
In true manybagger fashion, I’ll use other bags for other trips, but I was able to get this on sale for 76 euros and couldn’t resist. (I got it at travelbags.de, but the sale color [black] is now sold out. As far as travelbags.de goes, no complaints! 3 day shipping is pretty good!)
I love most of the changes they made to the bag. The zippered front pocket makes it much more usable, and having lash points is a nice addition that they didn’t have to do.
For most people, the change of the expansion point to be the main body is probably for the best, but I miss having that bonus pocket. I do think it will make it possible to pack more expanded and then zip to compress, allowing you to get more in unexpanded mode.
Overall I’m pretty excited about it!
Just came across this NYT piece on a backpack that Japanese kids use nearly exclusively, for over 100 years.
First of all, I come in peace.
I know Evergoods is the darling of this subreddit and probably the most recommended brand I come across on here but I’ve never been able to see/test one in person.
I’m the market for an EDC bag I can also use for short trips and came across the CTB26 in X-Pac but that price tag is eye watering, for example the Aer TP3S in X-Pac is over $100 cheaper. I assumed it was because Evergoods was made in the USA but after digging some more it looks like they moved their production overseas a few years ago.
Not looking to start arguments but genuinely curious why people love them so much at that price. Help a bagger out!
Dear onebag community,
I recently posted my packing list for a 5-day trip to Amsterdam. You can find the original post here and the comment with my packing list here.
PACKING LIST
Based on your feedback, I slightly adapted my original packing list. I added an umbrella, a sun hat, AirPods, a powerbank, disinfectant wipes, a pocket knife and a teaspoon. I removed a t-shirt and a pair of shorts.
During the trip, I used almost all of the clothes I packed. I probably could have done without the sweater, although I used it one morning in the hotel. I did not need my black going-out top and one of the white t-shirts. I ended up buying flip flops because the room was not very clean (bringing flip flops was recommended to me in advance - I should have listened!!). I didn’t mind too much though because the flip flops I bought were on sale and are really nice.
Overall, I was quite happy with my packing list and would barely adapt it. However, I‘ll definitely bring flip flops next time!! …
Just received the bag today! Ordered from osprey website on 7⁄9, with standard shipping. I checked the dimensions and they are the same as what’s on the website when not packed (17x13x6). With it fully packed, it’s about 18x14x8 but you could push it a bit more.
The third picture is with tripped compression cubes (2 piece set from Amazon) and a laundry bag - those fit comfortably inside. You can shove in some more stuff if you really want.
The main compartment expands, instead of the front pocket as in the previous version.
From the initial look, it fits my bill very well - expandable and clamshell design. I love that they switched to a zippered front pocket.
Let me know if you have any specific questions and I’ll try my best to answer!
Was going to get a few clear pouches, one for toiletry bag and the other for small electronics (nothing crazy, two Osprey pouches for $25 total) but then I had a post coffee thought this morning. Ziplocs. I have a few dozen of them. Then when I get to my destination I’ll just transfer the contents over to my regular bags that I keep them in when I travel by motorcycle. It’s easy to get caught up on the whole r/ronebag vibe, isn’t it? Just like people suggesting Target golf pants > lululemon ABC pants, you don’t need to drop a lot of disposable income to onebag it. I love that we have all kinds of travelers on this sub, it keeps things interesting!

Speaking primarily about skincare, but consideration is wider.
Packaging is a part of product development. It comes hand in hand with formulation development to ensure that product will retain its properties and won’t react with the packaging. If smth comes in a glass container, there’s a reason for it, not just marketing.
When decanting, you’re introducing new variables, like container material or other product residue (like soap you washed that container with). Product you’re decanting may react with them. Obviously, decanting from a vacuum container to a non-vacuum will introduce air, and immediately start a chemical reaction. Same goes for tinted/opaque.
How concerned should you be? It depends.
If you’re decanting from a bigger container to a smaller similar for a few days worth of use, it’ll like be okay.
Some compounds are more reactive than other. Decanting products with AHA/BHA, retinoids, etc. should get a hard second thought. Same with …
Just finished spending 10 days in Bali, coming from the US. Used the patagonia black hole duffel 40L. Was able to comfortably fit everything i needed without stuffing it to the max. Although my GF did stuff here. We flew with Singapore Airlines and we had no issues bringing it on plane. Fit more than enough space in overhead bin.
I will say that i did carry the patagonia 8l sling bag just to carry my wallet, passport and headphones and charger. As well as being my daily bag. Could’ve fit all that in the duffel, but chose to carry it on me. So not completely one bag but close enough.
Just wanted to post for people interested it the bags i used. Or thinking of doing one bag. My next trip is Italy in a couple months. Will be using same bags.
Alright I’ve been putting this off for way too long. Injex– It is possibly the best and most iconic fabric OUTLIER puts out there and the reason why I’ve stuck with the brand so long.
I can basically wrap up the fabric description here and we can get on with the garments. Injex- formally known as Injected Linen is linen and polyester warp knitted together into some kind of rustic industrial combination that allows linen to actually function as a durable garment. You lose very little of the openness of pure linen in favor of the structure and strength of polyester. I wouldn’t call it simple (I still don’t really understand warp knitting,) but the fabric feels like everything OUTLIER aims for. Taking our daily wear to another level with some experimental risks on brutalist fashion ideas. Anyways here’s some shirts.
One of my favorite summertime shirts. The name is pretty telling of what you’re gonna get with this shirt. …
Guess all our whining wasn’t in vein. Slim tapered boys, get it while it’s hot! and for those loving the more loose fit in f cloth, there’s even more colors to choose from on this run of futureyeses.
thanks abe, tyler, and team! 🙏🏾🤲🏾🧎🏾♂️➡️
A crossover-tension-front pant experiment [#432] in the open yet opaque, and exclusive to Outlier, Injected Linen fabric. Two tendrils of fabric cross the front of the pant holding it up by tension. They can be tied in the front or back for extra security or left free for effect, while the incredibly breathable Injex fabric does its thing.
