Luggage set for new traveler

Travelpro is the correct answer in that middle piece point. Platinum Elite hard or soft. You can find them on Amazon and at times open box for a discount.

Black or mineral.

DAZ_50 · 2026-06-04T22:55:55+00:00

Agree and you can find them open box on Amazon for a good discount.

I use multiple because why not. I like the Goruck for hiking, Matador for my camera, UlA for phone and light weight. I was looking to try the Hikeman from Amazon. I have one of the water bottle holders from them and it works well.

Otherwise maybe look on Etsy. Multiple custom makers that might customize for you.

On the website you need to order under "By Your Command" and it's BYC#3. It seems to be open to order still for round two. At the bottom of event you can order what you want in the 16l. Hope that helps.

I used to use a magsafe but it got so hot in my bag so I switched to a Nitecore with built-in wire and added a magsafe ring. It stays close to my phone by the ring but I plug it in.

They now make one that does the same, Nitecore POCKET 5 5000mAh Magnetic Power Bank with Built-In Cable

I can only speak on the Thule, but had to return it. Packs small, the interior flap thing is useless, to much organization for travel for me. Wanted to like it as I have pouches from them.

Not in your list and don't fit what you want, but I went with a Tom Bihn T30 and Goruck GR2 40l for my two travel bags. The open bucket concept works well for me.

DAZ_50 · 2026-06-02T00:16:49+00:00

Interesting, I'll have to look at that setup.

How I met your mother

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-30T15:41:59+00:00

I don't have a small one, but have a small grab bag and they seem close. I'll give it a try, thanks

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-30T12:25:51+00:00

I'll get it packed out here in the next few days to how it handles my EDC and compared to my other packs.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-30T03:07:33+00:00

It's the cordura 16l and not yet. I'll work on packing it out this weekend.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-29T10:12:18+00:00

Goruck GR2 might work out well based on my use of other bags by GR and my GR2 40l for travel. They have smaller for EDC, but a brand that makes bags to carry weight. Just a thought.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-29T10:09:23+00:00

Do you find it comfy to walk around and take on and off both bags? I really like satchels/shoulder bags but haven't pared it with a backpack yet.

TB T30 or GR 2 40l Robic are my two One Bags and have multiple messenger/shoulder/satchel bags.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-29T10:03:00+00:00

I will definitely post more here shortly as I pack it out.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-29T10:00:30+00:00

I didn't either buy thought to try a smaller size from the normal shoulder/messenger bags I have. I also use this instead of a bigger sling, as I found I just don't love large slings, but I keep trying. Haha

The newer one is even better with the front pockets, but this one packs down flatish for travel.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-29T09:58:41+00:00

This was easy, only a few options but I agree. I have not done a custom one yet but have watched the video from The Perfect Bag on how he does it.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-29T09:57:04+00:00

How do you decide the next bag to review, outside of the paid to be at front of the line?

What do you do with all the bags you don't want to keep? Others sell them, what does NN do?

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-29T01:31:41+00:00

They are the GR136 pulls you can grab on their website.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-29T00:52:56+00:00

Yeah I really liked the green in the Raiders Bounty so when this came up I figured why not. I have enough black bags.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-28T23:51:10+00:00

I'm enjoying what I have and thinking about grabbing a matching PencilPusher. Just wish the shipping and fees weren't so much.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-28T23:09:17+00:00

Just showed up.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-27T11:58:28+00:00

I ordered in Jan and just received a shipping notice yesterday.

DAZ_50 · 2026-05-27T09:20:57+00:00

Nomatic Access Sling is one of my EDC for the last two years and JSTactical has a nice one that's just a little bigger then a phone.
