UPDATE!
The bag is definitely the 5.11 Tactical Dart Duffel in Lunar Heather. Sadly, it’s since been discontinued.

Looking for an ID on this bag in the film TENET (or a similar bag.)
I’d describe it as a large grey duffel with oversized T-shaped zipper pulls, no shoulder strap, long-enough drop handles to hang over the shoulder, additional grab handles on the front and rear, and two exterior top pockets. I would love a bag with these features, even if it isn’t this exactly one. My D3 Traveller is closest in spirit but it is lacking exterior pockets and drop handles.
IMAX distorted this shot but the colors are accurate
This large black tab on the left might be an identifying feature?
In the back of this shot, you can barely make out the T-shaped zipper pull in …
As title says the AER website has a new city line releasing tomorrow! Anyone have any idea as to what it will feature? I’m still looking for a gym/work bag and hope it’ll meet that need.
Edit: It’s up and available. Is it just me or does the city pack just look like the travel pack without the internal main pocket?
I once the order for the new city sling as I’ve been trying to get one for awhile now. Was excited to hear about this new launch.
Looking at the website, it looks like they’ve upgraded the hardware on the bag and added a handle on top. Love the upgraded hardware, but not sure about the strap on top - I think it negatively affects the symmetry of the bag.
It seems like they’re trying to modularize the usage of the sling bag (as part of ones larger ecosystem of many bags) so that if you’re not using it as a sling, you can also use it as a tech pack by tucking in the straps. I see why it makes sense, but worried about the added bulk of that strap storage area.
I hope to get the bag in this week, so I’ll post some pics and initial thoughts.
I love seeing everyone else’s packing lists, so now that I’m home from a trip, I thought I’d share what I brought, what worked, and what I wish I had left behind.
I went to San Francisco for 4 days for a friend’s wedding. (Small group, all vaccinated, negative COVID tests before and after.) I flew Frontier, so I had to follow their personal limit size. I stayed with the wedding party in an Airbnb with way too few bathrooms, so laundry wasn’t really on the agenda.
I know, 4 nights in a personal item isn’t new for this community. But one-bagging for a multi-event wedding, in my smallest bag yet, was new to me. Hopefully some of you find it new or interesting too!

In 3-6 months I plan to sell my flat and everything else and travel the world forever. Wanderlust has always been a thing and I’ve been putting it off for too many years.
In the past I did some “longer” trips - a month in Thailand and Vietnam, and 2x 3 weeks of Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, so I do have some experience with packing. But since those were trips with going home at the end in mind, there might be other things to pack this time.
Last time I used a 50L backpack that held more than enough stuff for the 3 weeks trip but I’m open to suggestions.
I defenitly want to bring my 13” laptop. I was also thinking of taking my a7iii and a lens with me but I think it’s too bulky and will take up too much space. Still a bit undecided as I’m a videographer and a photographer freelancer and there might be opportunities to make some money with my skills while traveling.
The first year plan is mostly South America until late summer, than back …
First-time poster here. I love overpacking, but since I was flying EasyJet with just a personal bag, I had to one-bag it. I must say I’ve been converted! I went with a small group, and we spent our time exploring some cities, hiking, and going to the (cold and foggy) beach. We stayed in AirBnB’s, so no need to bring towels. This sub has really helped me to consider multiple-use items and stay organized, so here’s my list:
Bags:
Tech:
Packed Clothing:
There’s a Tortuga blog post that lists a pretty good set of items that are ultralight - which they seem to be less than 6 oz in their post.
Unfortunately short of individual blogs like Tynan etc there is a surprising lack of ultralight focus for one bagging - which j would say naturally go hand in hand
So what are some resources for those of us looking for them? Whether it be other individual blogs, odors like the ones above, etc. Whatever they may be. Aimlessly searching Google doesn’t spit out great results as it always conflates things with true backpacking.
With COVID shutting down travel for the last year or so, I’m only just now starting to plan new trips, but that hasn’t stopped me from continuing to search for the “perfect” onebag. Even though I haven’t been able to use any of my travel bags (and even though I strive to be a minimalist as much as possible), I’ve still added a few to the collection and sold a few to make room over the last year.
This made me wonder: Do any of you collect travel bags too?
I’ve found that the act of searching for and testing new bags is almost as fun as traveling itself. At the moment I’m watching a ton of reviews for Tom Bihn’s new Techonaut 30, even though it’s very out of my price range and also not something I really need. On the surface I’m searching for that unicorn bag I could live out of forever, but I’m also starting to realize I might just be a collector.
With that said, what do you all’s travel bag collections …
