Hello gang,
I wanted some feedback from anyone that utilized a duffel to any degree. Mainly why you choose it over any other backpack, roller for travel, ect.
I’m a healthcare worker that flys once a week and I’m usually carrying a bunch of medical supplies and expensive medications. I see patients some times in rural areas. These are day trips on short flights.
I’m thinking in my head of having a duffel as a carryon but I really dislike the backpack straps that I’ve seen on a lot of the modern duffels like the Patagonia Black Hole. I won’t be doing any long distant walks by any means with the bag at all. A robust kind of roller seems ok also but the wheels might get slightly beat up.
Thanks in advance.

After buying the Bellroy 9L Venture Sling (midnight) I came across something earily similar on AliExpress (Blue/Nightsky) and thought why not. At best I’ll have a cheaper imitation, at worst I’ll have a knockoff sling good for the carboot.
But I’m shocked at how similar they are, other than the tag being in Chinese I would have struggled seeing which is the real one. So I’m not sure if it even is a knockoff or not.
Originally they told me it’s not covered under warranty but later they explained the zipper is infact spoilt and sent me a new bag. Thanks Aer for Honoring their lifetime warranty
I’ll start by saying the Timbuk2 parkside. This bag is not flashy or feature rich but out of all the bags I own(all way more expensive etc) this has been surprisingly the most joyful to use.
Few reasons why, looks great to me personally, light weight, surprisingly comfortable given how thin the straps are and my favourite thing about the bag is the front compartment. On one side of the front compartment it’s one big vertical pocket and on the other side it has another vertical pocket but split into two smaller pockets for more organisation. All three of these vertical pockets have there own volume and are separated from each other.
Example load out includes my work/personal edc with change of cloths for three days for sizing. It can slim down if needed so it won’t always be bulky if you don’t need the space.

I saw the newly released Ultra line-up. Everything is perfect except for the price. It’s lighter than the X-pac, offers the same water resistance, and has an improved Fidlock. The jiggling zipper is gone, and the orange inside has changed to a demure color. Already I have the City Pack pro and Day sling3 in X-pac, so I can’t buy them, but I’m looking to buy the City sling2 ultra!
Since 8 years I travel with only a 30 liter backpack. Because I cary so little stuff I would like the little things that I have to be durable, comfortable, somewhat stylish and perhaps versile.
For my next trip the items in the list are:
What are your favorite travel items that you take on your trip? Could also be clothing etc
Edit: thanks for all.your replies, some great stuff here to enhance life on the road!
I fly Ryanair and EasyJet all the time around Europe and I was surprised this trip when Vueling wouldn’t let me check in unless I purchased a seat selection. The screen freezes at the stage of seat selection and won’t allow you to proceed and says you must go to the check-in counter to get a seat selection. Despite our personal item only we had to spend an hour in the check-in line to get a seat. This negates the whole reason I onebag so won’t be flying them again. Thought this could be helpful to know for others.
Last year I spent 8 weeks travelling with my 30L Patagonia Mini MLC, and loved the whole experience of one bagging so much I’m back for round two. Link to previous post here.
I’ll first go through my packing list, and at the end go through what I learnt from my last trip and what I’ve changed this time around.

I’ve been on the road for six months and developed a capsule wardrobe system that covers most seasons and occasions. Yes, I even wore it to a wedding and got compliments!

Hey all, I was blessed with another Outlier item to share my thoughts on: the upcoming Cannabiscotton107 Yes expected to be released on Tuesday, August 6th at 1pm NYC time.
Some background: I’ve been wearing Outlier for several years now and it’s become the main clothing brand found in my closet and drawers. That is to say I’m not necessarily an entirely unbiased reviewer; I love their clothes and wear them all the time, including other versions of the 107 cut.
I live in New York (Brooklyn) and these are right up my alley with a nice wide cut, comfortable and versatile fabric/vibe, and one of my new favorite paracord colors ever.
I’ve previously reviewed Outlier’s Hemp137 Camp Collar, another experiment with a lovely 100% hemp fabric that is now discontinued.
Onto (or rather, into) these awesome pants - plus don’t forget to check out this excellent review and a video of them in action on the climbing wall.
In the wild with the New Earth Tank in Orca.
HOW’S THE FABRIC?
The …
A not-so-slim Slim Dungarees experiment [#465]. Not loose but not lean, straight passing but not too straight, a technically superior five-pocket pant with a perfect fit. Made with our exclusive Workcloth fabric. Tough, comfortable and clean enough to wear 365 days a year, all across the globe.
The Outlier team asked me to try the new Cannabiscotton 107 yes pants. Aside from getting to keep the review unit in exchange for my honest opinions, I’m not getting paid to do this review. All opinions here are my own.
Disclaimer: All durability claims are my own opinions. I’ve only had them for a short time, and they seem very durable compared to Ramiefall, but only time will tell. This is a new fabric with little field use by other users. I will continue to update my review as time goes on to document how these age and hold up.
Let’s start with the question you’re all probably asking. Would I buy these at $295?
An Italian hemp-cotton fabric experiment [#464] sewn up in the easy wearing 107 Yes form. The Cannabiscotton fabric combines hemp’s cool touch with cotton’s easy wearing to make something extra chilled out. The 107 cut combines classic fatigue patch pockets (plus an extra big fifth) with an elastic + 3Bar + paracord waistband.
