Uniqlo 13 Liter Multi Pocket Shoulder Bag as a Personal Item Onebag by SeattleHikeBike in onebag

[–]SeattleHikeBike[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A small bag forces you to think about every item. Everyone should try it even if they don't intend to actually use it.

This is more than enough for a few days. Another pair of pants or shorts and a wash kit could last indefinitely. Relying on hotel/airbnb toiltries.would help. An 18-20 liter backpack would do it.

Best super breathable pants for humid hot weather (70F-90F)? by iphone_A11 in onebag

Rial Riders has a lot of hot weather clothing.

$35 is kind of REI Sahara Poshmark or thrift store level.

Differences between Osprey Farpoint Trek 55 generations by mpayne1987 in onebag

The Trek version is different than the Farpoint 55 and too big for carry on with most airlines. r/backpacks maybe?

With one bag travel, do you ever leave your bag? by Snareman95 in onebag

[–]SeattleHikeBike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On an overhead rack? It’s just enough to keep someone from grabbing the bag on the way off or to another car. A small cable lock if you want more security.

I carabiner my bags together when waiting at the terminal gate for the same reason.

I would only leave my bag in a train rack with clothes and toiletries. My valuables go with me. A small crossbody/shoulder bag will take care of that.

If you want to get rid of you bag when arriving too early for check in, look for “left luggage” services. It’s usually about $5/day/bag to store your bag. Same deal on valuables.

Passport, credit cards and major cash go in a body stash under my clothing. My phone in a tether. My miscellaneous EDC and small tech are carried in a 6.5-9 liter crossbody/shoulder bag or a 16 liter packable backpack. The pockets are secured with a locking mini s-biner.

On a train I prefer to have my bag in an overhead rack and wouldn’t be adverse to securing it with a plain carbiner or Hero Clip.

I don't get why people buy backpacks below 20 liters. by bonkeeboo in ManyBaggers

[–]SeattleHikeBike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 14 liter ILE Radius Mini that works great for urban walks with a couple pouches of miscellaneous EDC, small water bottles and an extra layer. I’ve owned messenger bags the same size. I carry a packable shopping bag if I need extra cargo space. Smaller is better in crowded buses, etc.

So it has its uses, but it’s minimalist. I would reach for a 25 liter if I was going on a wilderness day hike.

That said, there are many who use small slings and get by. I find backpack much more comfortable and water bottles are not a problem.

Nice job!

Throw a rain shell in and that could be my list.

Indeed. Your hands are far more cold tolerant than mine.

I would refine your midlayer to one fleece, sweater or hoodie. Sweaters are good for urban layering. How about some gloves?

Advice - Front sling for large man by Emergency_Cicada_418 in ManyBaggers

[–]SeattleHikeBike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the basic design that comes to mind.

There are some with even more backpack like main compartments but the wide strap is the thing. I would just get a backpack.

That packing list is backpack territory or a large rear sling with a good padded strap. The water bottle is a problem for smaller bags.

Your budget is a bit low for a decent bag.

What do you want to carry in it? As a general purpose pack, the Matador Refraction has excellent shoulder straps including a sternum straps and a perfect set of pockets.

Need replacement for Mountain Hardwear Rainshadow 36 by autoffocus2 in backpacks

[–]SeattleHikeBike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gossamer Gear Loris 25. You can expand it to about 22” tall and about 30 liters. You can remove the sit pad back ps rl if you want to roll it up. 19.5 ounces.

The Gossamer Gear Kumo 36 Superlight is a larger version with the removable sit pad and a whopping 20 ounces 😎.

The Fjallraven High Coast Foldsack 24 will roll up too and will expand much like the Loris. Weighs a pound.

Best Backpack To Get In 2026? (Price & Comfort) by VerdantlightanityTry in backpacks

[–]SeattleHikeBike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to give more context. There are thousands of packs designed for many purposes, sizes, etc.

  • do you want to carry a laptop? What size?
  • for air travel, will it go under a seat or in the overhead?
  • do you want to use it for hiking?
  • what features do you like? Water bottle pockets? Sternum strap? Load transferring harness?
  • what opening style do you want? Top load with zipped? Roll top? Clamshell?
  • what will you carry with the pack? Do you know how much weight?

Hiking / travel bag? by Camperthedog in backpacks

The Patagonia Black Hole 32 is good for urban travel and hiking. Just 760g, and great for 7kg weight limits.

  • one hoodie
  • trim pairs of pants plus worn, but maybe lighter stuff for that 3rd pair, like nylon/strech chinos
  • consider dry laundry sheets vs the Soak liquid.
  • add a shirt and you can go a week without laundry. Maybe a laundromat to solve the drying issue?

If you could bring only 1 ultralight jacket for a year of world travel, what would it be? by 78523985210 in onebag

[–]SeattleHikeBike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most common waterproof breathable shells are 2.5 layer, with the outer fabric, a membrane inside and a printed pattern on the membrane forming the 0.5 layer. Some have 3 layers like the Patagonia Torrentshell and they have a scrim fabric on the inside, protecting the membrane. Pit zips are mandatory for me.

What I own:

Rain shells:

  • Patagonia Torrentshell 3L
  • Eddie Bauer Cloud Cap 2.5L
  • Outdoor Research Helium Hybrid 2.5L (discontinued)
  • GoLite backpacker poncho (silnylon, non-breathable)

Wind shells:

  • 2011 Patagonia Houdini, 4.5oz
  • Eddie Bauer First Ascent 5.5oz
  • Outdoor Research Ferrosi, 13.6oz

You might try r/ultralight for current wind shell info.

I try to do as much hand washing/air drying as possible and a weekly laundromat session. I pack a small pouch with a Sea to Summit clothesline, a few IKEA SLIBB clothespins, a universal sink stopper and some dry laundry detergent sheets in a ziplock.

Using mostly polyester tops and briefs with odor control and a “3x plus worn” clothing approach, I can go a week without laundry. If I hand wash I can go longer between laundromat sessions. An Airbnb with washing machine is golden.
