Hi All, I’m currently a design student at university working on a project surrounding mobility. After a lot of initial analysis, I ended up diving deeper into the idea of how people move throughout the day with their everyday items. I’m interested in hearing more about how people decide to carry their essentials in different situations and why.
I’ve been still searching for the perfect Cyclist Backpack. I’m looking for something super light so prefer xpac or something similar.
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
Hi all! I have been lurking this sub for quite some time but this is my first post.
I am looking for recommendations on durable yet lightweight bags for a 10 day alpine through-hiking trip.
I own many bags. My favorite larger capacity bag in terms of features and functionality, pictured in this post, is TAD’s Fastpack EDC. I am running it with a handful of VX42 MOLLE pouches and a HPG Battle Belt as the waist strap.
It’s great for general use and shorter 3 day trips, but being a 1000D Cordura MOLLE bag it has more weight to it than I would like for a longer more strenuous trip.
Looking for something built with VX, Dyneema, or other lightweight ripstop fabrics like recycled parachute or sails. Preferably with modular capabilities.
Any strong feelings or recommendations from the community?
I’ve traveled a bit. I always regret bringing the laptop, always regret bringing the extra cameras, always regret bringing jeans, never regret extra tshirts/underwear/socks, always regret not planning my here to there in advance, not bringing earplugs, sleep mask, neck pillow. Always buying caffeine, sorting my mess of cloths (need to get cleaner packing style), clambering through maps , looking for charge, Nothing you bring that you don’t obviously need will alter the trip Exponentially. Take only what’s essential.
I just came back from a 5-day trip with my Aer Travel Pack 2, which included a wedding on one of the days. Overall, I had a really great experience both with onebagging for the first time as well as traveling with this bag specifically.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to assemble a new wardrobe for travel clothes (first time solo/one bag travel). It seems like merino wool is one of the best materials to use, but it’s pretty expensive everywhere I looked. I tried researching some companies that sell it at an affordable price, but I didn’t have any luck finding any. Does anyone know or recommend a place to get good quality yet affordable travel clothes? (merino wool would be ideal)
Just got done packing for my first trip since COVID hit. It sounds weird but It felt SO good to be packing again.

The ideal trainers need to be able to handle a lot of wear and tear, be comfy in different climates, and be suitable for lots of walking in cities or the countryside. Anyone have any good ideas?
I have just very recently gotten into the idea of packing cubes. Unfortunately bc of COVID travel is very much not a thing in my country so I haven’t been able to test anything out, but I have had plenty of lockdown time to research and long for the perfect packing cube.
I will admit I am not 100% sold on the idea and think that (for me at least) there is some kind of happy medium between utilising packing cubes and folding items.
From what I can tell I think packing cubes would really come in handy for particular items for me, such as t-shirts, underwear and socks (and maybe speciality items like swimsuits for those beach vacays). Therefore I’m not looking for these crazy 6 piece sets that seem to be pretty common. Just some medium and small packs that can help me organise.
I want something better quality than Amazon basics but as I’m just getting into the realm of packing cubes, I’m not looking to spend heaps either. Would love something that had a range of …
