Can’t believe this is a real bag. Thought it was a photoshop at first but apparently you can buy this. https://arcteryx.com/ca/en/shop/carrier-100-duffle
Like many of you I’m searching for the perfect travel backpack to suit my needs. You may ask yourself: why does he have all of these bags simultaneously? Well yeah more on that later.
However in this comparison I want to help out the people in this sub to make an educated decision. You can always find all the specs online, but a direct comparison between these bags isn’t very common. Since I now have all of the three laying around I figured it might be helpful to compare them.
I’ll go over the features, comfort, pockets, what they fit and ultimately how I use them.
The way I normally travel is fairly simple. I often go for a maximum of three weeks, where I’ll visit different hotels, bed and breakfasts and a camping trip from here to there. I’m not a digital nomad and won’t be gone for months. I need a bag that I can use as (kinda) a daily carry while also big enough to bring stuff for two weeks (sometimes three). Also occasionally I carry a camera …
I don’t know if they’ll lower any prices, but DMing with their account on instagram they told me there will be some special/limited editions of products available on the 3rd to celebrate their 10th anniversary. I specifically asked about the City Sling 2 so that’s a lock but while I can’t confirm every individual item, seems likely it’ll be a lot of their line. I’m waiting to see what’s released, wanted to remind y’all to hold off a few days if you’re in the market
Onebag travel, especially flying, offers a pretty relaxed travel experience with no time at the baggage claim, no worries about lost luggage, no worries about damage during handling etc. etc. etc.
I’ve seen a lot of repeat-posts along the lines of “The sizer of this budget airline has these dimensions, but I want to buy a backpack 10 liters over, will I be fine?” or “I know I am allowed 100ml fluids that fit into a one-liter ziplock bag, but I want to take this 3 liter clear zipper kit, do you think that will be okay?”.
I don’t think it’s an issue to ask these questions if you want input from people who fly a lot (and there is always a lot of positive feedback along the lines of “I have never been checked/suffered consequences from this.”). But this is of course just anecdotal. It can help you gauge the risk. It’s fine if you want to do it your way, and you will most likely be okay.
If you want to minimize your stress when …
New range of Allpa bags announced on Cotopaxi’s YouTube channel.
Been a 28L user for a few years and am very happy to see 20L in the new range. Will definitely get one. New features look good. What does everyone think?

Hi everyone
On Wednesday I leave for 4 weeks asia (Citytrip in Singapore, Beach in Indonesia and Yoga Retreat in Sri Lanka). My first time only traveling with a backpack for this long, before 2 weeks were the longest. I have the Cotopaxi Allpa 35.
What am I still missing or don’t need? Any recommendations are appreciated :)
My packing so far: - 3 cotton Tshirts - night clothes - 2 yogapants (short and long) - 2 tanktops - women hygiene products plus razor in pink zipper - travel pharmacy in green zipper (painkillers, disinfectant cream etc) - 6 undies + 1 Bra in yellow zipper - 2 bikinis + 2 sport bralettes in blue zipper - body and hair soap - microfiber beachtowel
Toiletries in the down left bag - face cleanser and cream - mosquito spray and stick - sun protection spray and cream - deo and perfume - toothpaste - after sun lotion - hair oil - wound spray - alcohol spray for clothes (thanks to you guys!)
What I still need to sort out/is missing in the picture: - 1 shorts and …
Just a tip to be aware of, many airlines/planes have a smaller space under the aisle seat due to a foot guard. But some have a huge difference between aisle vs middle vs window.
My 40L bag fits great under the window seat space , snugly under the middle seat space, does not fit under the aisle seat!

Just something to keep in mind when booking with various bag sizes.
Outlier reached out to me via discord and asked if I would like to test their new Cannabiscotton 107s. I am not paid for this review other than that I get to keep the review pants and outlier does not have any input on what I write. This is also not my job I just own a buttload of Outlier clothes (purchased at retail paid for by my actual job)
First Impression is that they have updated the 107 pant cut found last year made from ramiefall fabric and merged it to align with the new updated release of the Futureyeses. They have the key loop and holes in the waistband for the drawstrings found in this new futureyeses cut but maintain the pocket design (and great 3rd interior pocket) of the older Ramie107s. I would say in alignment with that the new cut they also run larger than last seasons 107s and I believe fits more like the newer futureyeses (I do not have the new futureyeses to compare, but it was the consensus at time of release that the new futureyes cut was a more relaxed fit) …
This is gonna be a lil quickie. I have three items to talk about here with pretty much no relation to each other. They’re all new releases and I didn’t feel that I could make a review where they would fit into a broad category. I also felt a responsibility to get a review out for a product that’s releasing TODAY.
Let’s start with the new product dropping today at 1pm EST, the Trackwool Windracer. This was offered to me as a review product by Christine at OUTLIER. I had my doubts on sizing since Christine had told me most people in the brand’s office had been going a size up on this. I bounce between XL and XXL and went XL. This resulted in a compact fit. Not so much in a sense of feeling too small, but more-so scant in length and the neck closure is a bit tight. Not 100% sure others reasoning, but if I were to go for this again, I would go up to the XXL for the sake of that neck closure and a little extra torso length. That being …
An Injected Linen six panel cap experiment [#463] with a 3Bar K-back adjustment. The 3Bar allows for rapid and secure adjustment while K-back setup allows for subtle changes to the head fit. Two layers of open yet opaque Inject Linen fabric provides breathable sun protection.
A tracksuit meets suiting wool experiment [#458] in the shape of an anorak. What looks like a windbreaker fabric is actually 80% wool, an unexpected inversion bringing dry, breathable performance and tropical wool elegance to a casual classic.
