I have a lot of bags. I like bags. Always on the search for the next one? Why buy more bags? Here is my theory.
Want to escape
Just like travel fever you can get the same feeling going on a plane that lands and start at the same place. Looking for a bag is my way of escaping boredom and planing a trip. First step what bag should I bring?
Perfect size
When you travel your bag is to large or to small. You solve this by buying an other bag. This is the key of getting your bag just the right size and about 90%full.
Extension of your home
When traveling you want to feel at home. Your bag is your home. A bag that is the right size, style, carry options. You get nervous when you travel and your bag is your security option. Just think about all the time some people spend going through airport security. Let’s say you travel 6 times a year. Does it make sense to try to improve you going through airport security 2 minutes faster?
Why do you have so many bags and what do you think …
Sorry if this is a stupid question or answered somewhere else already
I’m planning to do some one bag travel when the world opens up again so I’ve been looking here for tips/inspiration, so many packing list have laptops in them I feel like I’m missing something.
I understand if you’re travelling for work/study and need a laptop to do that, but cutting loads of weight/space on (semi-) essentials and then taking a massive heavy laptop on holiday seems a bit counterproductive, especially when modern smartphones can do so much.
Could someone explain what I’m missing, please?
Edit: apologies if this post has offended/angered you enough to downvote, I did not intend to imply that taking a laptop is bad or “the wrong way to one bag”, we all have different priorities and considerations when packing, I just wanted to better understand why people do take one so I could better decide if I needed to
Edit 2: thank you everyone this has been really …
What are some non-essential or atypical items you bring anyway for long-term travel?
I’ll start: I have some suction cup hooks (so useful), rose water facial spray (very refreshing, especially on long dry flights), and a small fabric bag with Velcro that I fill with rice on arrival and can either freeze or microwave for sore muscles, sinus headaches, hot nights, and so on.
My husband and kids carry baseball mitts and a ball or two, because there is something about taking a break to play catch (especially for my baseball obsessed kiddo) that makes a huge difference.
I am traveling with a Osprey Fairview 40 backpack. I would like feedback with my packing list if I have too much or am I forgetting anything essential.
My boyfriend and I are taking an 8 month trip. We have the visas and vaccine situations figured out and we are flexible in case new travel mandates come around.
I WOULD LOVE FEEDBACK ON MY BACKPACKING ITEM LIST
Am I overpacking or forgetting something useful?
We are staying in a lot of hostels and family around our trip
I want to make sure I have enough items to be able to go out with or workout with
Day activities we like to do: Hiking, Tours, museums, working out (HIIT workouts), Coffee shops, Walking in cities
Night Activities: Going out to bars, clubs, restaurants, any night activities at all.
FYI I have all the clothes packed and will be wearing one outfit on the packing list while traveling

Just thought I’d wish the Outlier crew a great festive season and I hope 2022 is the perfect year for Outlier.
I really appreciate the Outlier quality and the amount of effort Abe, Tyler, Willie and the team put into each garment/object they make.
About 85% of my wardrobe is Outlier, I’m very minimalist, so only have Slim Dungarees, Futureslimworks, New Way Shorts, a Cottonweight Billboard, a couple tees, a towel and cap, but I’m looking forward to expanding this wardrobe with some layers etc. in 2022 to get to a 100% Outlier wardrobe.
Anyway, just thought I’d put some positive energy out to the Outlier team and fans.
This is a great subreddit, thanks for all the reviews and advice peeps.
Happy happies!
Every size except 40 is available right now. Second WTF for me, first was totally worth it!
Following a hunch, I found some really nice discounts on the site right now. You need to click directly through to the product pages to find them.
Ultracharge Mag Bandanas are $35, down from $98!
Ramielust Cut Twos ($88), F.Cloth Yes Pants ($88), OG Freeways for $148, among other hidden gems.
I just got back from a (masked & tested) trip to Jamaica, which among other things entailed switching to a summer wardrobe. For me, summer is a lot of Ramie and Injected Linen. For nice dinners, it’s variations of an Injected Linen suit. In the picture below are:
Yeah, I like black. It’s important to match your blacks.
There are two pictures below. I adjusted the first picture to reduce the contrast and lighten the blacks, otherwise the clothing is a uniform black, and details are hard to see. I left the second picture unaltered, so you can better see the color. The Injex Raglan Shirt is the same black as the other two items, and (I believe) made from the same fabric: standard Outlier black Injected Linen.
Yes, this outfit looks similar to the one I posted a few days ago, …
Shamelessly stolen from prior posts.
This is also where you should ask your WTF ID.
I’ll link the previous post here:

Last summer, Outlier released Experiment 263, the Cash Injection Popover. ( https://outlier.nyc/products/experiment-263-cash-injection-popover ). This is a cashmere riff on Injected Linen. Keep an eye out for this fabric, if it returns.
First, some context. I first wore this for an outdoor wedding last summer, down in Florida. I’m a northern boy, I melt in heat and humidity. My summer uniform is injected linen, ramielust, and a ramie boxford draping loose and open. The ramielust wicks away sweat like magic, and the Injected Linen breathes like lightweight shorts.
Now, there are plenty of running shirts nowadays with synthetic blends and sportswear logos which keep you cool. But in addition to the function, there’s the aesthetics. Ramielust has a beautiful sheen, in addition to its wicking and breathing. The ramie boxford has a drape and slightly wrinkled insouciance which makes me think of old-school english expats stationed overseas. The Injected Linen continues the look, but …
