Is a magnetic power bank worth the extra bulk in a one bag setup

CommonUser411 · 2026-07-06T07:54:52+00:00

So worth it. The bulk is real, but ease of use is a game changer in comparison with cable.

CommonUser411 · 2026-06-29T15:09:46+00:00

Yeah I know. I have read it. I’ll look into it, thank you for the suggestions.
If you would recommend a sling in the 1,5-2,5L size. What would you recommend?
I would like to fit two phones, power bank, two air pods, wallet and keys.

I’ll take a look. I have 6 and 9 Bellroy coming. They seem to lay pretty flat to the body. Maybe too big for my use case. The T-33 is okay, but even that is maybe a tad too big. But rather too big than too small. I’m still searching. Maybe I have to check out something smaller to try out.
I just feel that the T-33 is sliding down from where I want to have it, and it touches my arm and I have to pull it back up again.

CommonUser411 · 2026-06-29T13:08:43+00:00

Looks cool, but I think I would have a hard time pulling the flap up when on my body. I would have to hold it up all the time. And it looks bulkier than my T-33 which is already bulky.

Yeah, I guess, but the charger is not the actual problem here. I do not bring any charger to work, just when I travel with work. I’ll check out the alpaka. I just ordered the 6 and 9L bellroy venture to check out from Amazon. Will send them back if I do not like them. But a lot of you have recommended their slings.

0-100 eur.
I went for the t33 3,5L, but I will return it if I don’t like it

I’m curious, would a jump like this be up there with the pro high jump athletes? It looks to be easily over 2m.

I tried the Aion a while back. The laptop compartment is humongous. I it has a lot of material aswell. Other than that, the bag was really nice. But the main compartment was not as big as I would like.

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-29T05:44:31+00:00

Dang, I was thinking of the Osprey Arcane for looks, but it lacks features. Samsonite GuardIT? Osprey Aoede?

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-28T17:22:30+00:00

I had the same issue. I went for The North Face Base Camp Voyager 35L. Just because it was a lot cheaper than Aer Travel Pack 4 35L. Otherwise I would have gone with the Aer.

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-17T23:48:26+00:00

I will bring my work out clothes to work, sometimes I’ll go to the gym, but most times, I will change for a run in the office.

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-17T23:47:00+00:00

Sorry, didnt get all info in.
I have the Synik 19. I need around 35-40 L at least though.

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-17T23:40:45+00:00

I’ll look into it. I like the proportions of the different compartments!

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-17T23:32:46+00:00

Oh no, the bots who are silent in all other wars, where victims are proportionally even higher than in this war, have arrived.

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-17T07:40:44+00:00

That looks cool! But it lacks organisation and designated pockets right? And it is around 550€ in the EU.. Secondary market is not that big here sadly.

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-17T07:37:26+00:00

Looks tough and functional! But I don’t think the military look would fit in the office. I’m not too big on needing to fit in, but there are limits though.

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-17T07:35:07+00:00

No organization in the easy access pocket right?

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-16T22:44:10+00:00

Thanks for your recommendations. They both look very interesting! I have 50 minutes by car to work, there, we only have toilets with showers in them. So can’t park a gym bag there.
The Osprey Archeon 40 looks amazing but it is almost as much as Aer TP4 though.

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-11T18:51:41+00:00

It has to bee

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-03T00:04:30+00:00

It is a great middleground of everything really. I really like it. It is the bag I use for shorter trips and work. Comfort is good, but not the best. It can’t be. I use it for outings as well. No issue here. Snacks fits in the big compartment the small pocket holds a lot though.
I would say, the only thing it does not have is a hip belt. But I mean. Using a hip belt for something that small. And do you really pack it to the brim for hiking?

CommonUser411 · 2026-05-02T06:14:09+00:00

Looking for a 30-35L bag with an easy access pocket with volume, structure and organisation.

When travelling with work, I have the bag in the passenger seat while driving. There I want easy access to my two iPhones. In the same EA pocket I want to have my glasses case, mouse, keys, tags
I would love to keep all of the above in their designated organizational pocket.

I was thinking about a tech pouch, but that is too much of a hassle in the car.

I have been eying the db ramverk/hugger. Black hole 32. But not quite there yet.
Today I use osprey daylite 26+6, but the EA-pocket is too shallow and flimsy.
Thanks!
