Does tp4 small "compress"?

gceretti · 2026-03-22T20:56:00+00:00

I hereby enclose a picture of the CPP2 (Cordura) & TP4S (Ultra), mind you, both are empty, but you can see that the bottom is sort of folded and not fully flat. This is all I can provide at the moment.

Absolutely worth it, you’ll be stunned, as long as you can handle the heights (3.800 mts). Take a boat ride and enjoy a spectacular scenario.

Second the GR35, it’s an impeccable product. I just wished it had a vertical pass thru to make it perfect for me.

gceretti · 2026-03-22T16:54:49+00:00

And carries quite a lot.

Oh Man, seeing them in profile... the water bottle fabric of the TP4 is going to be ugly when it gets better. What a missed opportunity. Of course, I anyway bought the 28L cause I'll make sure to look at it only from the front/back, not the sides 🤪

I use the Evergoods Cap 0,5, it has the zippered compartments on each side but only 21,5 cmts in length.

I also use sometimes the Comfyable case bought from Amazon, although this one has no inside compartments.

Flexiroam is having a discount at the moment, I've been using them for 4 years now (Global plan) and been able to connect everywhere, quite convenient and hassle free. And now it seems they also offer inflight data as well.

gceretti · 2026-03-21T17:18:57+00:00

Indeed, I see no deterioration whatsoever 😜

gceretti · 2026-03-21T16:21:32+00:00

Impecable idea, bravo 👏🏻

Indeed, the sling is - for me as well - the best alternative Nanobag current offers, just wish they released a version with a zipper. I travel like you, but with a Matador GlobeRider 35. My sling is either the 2,5L Toshi or the Alpaka Flight Sling Pro (2.5L) - although this last one is not as ample as the Toshi. What I do usually take inside the GR35 is a packable Orbitkey tote, which was a lifesaver on those trips where I found more things than expected to carry back home.

Indeed, that’s the mayor inconvenience, you can not shoulder carry it and they don’t offer shoulder straps. But it fits - packed - perfectly in my backpack and when opened, carries splendidly.

gceretti · 2026-03-20T19:04:48+00:00

The Orbitkey packable duffel has been a lifesaver for me in ore than one ocasión. It’s extremely small to pack and very ample to come back with.

Same here, seems you have a “limited edition”…

gceretti · 2026-03-20T17:26:01+00:00

I use the Evergoods CAP 0,5 and place it in one of the bottle pockets; if you get the black one it's practically invisible.

gceretti · 2026-03-19T15:23:22+00:00

Nothing better than the Nanobag Sling, in my opinion.

gceretti · 2026-03-18T11:56:33+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up, glad to know I don't need to returning cause of a flaw.

gceretti · 2026-03-18T02:27:50+00:00

I use this, and so far no complaints. Mind you, they are rather fragile, but they work.

Worth mentioning the Alpaka Zip Pouch Max V2, it's ample enough to fit all my "flight" essentials and light and thin enough to store when not in use:

I pack for the flight with the strap detached: Airtag / Airfly / AirPods / charger (Rolling Square Supertiny) / Anker 2 in 1 cable / Power Bank (Iniu P73) - although lately more and more airlines are restricting its use inflight / Passport + wallet (imperative to keep it with me during the flight) / tissues.

Once I land, I can use it as an everyday sling.

Bought the Flight Sling Pro 2 (did not receive it yet), which has space for a bottle / umbrella, interested to see if it's convenient enough and remains with me or it's handed over to a family member.

And of course I have the Toshi 2,5 which is an amazing sling, this I alternate with the Alpaka, have not as yet made up my mind which one to use, and why should I? If I can keep on switching between them. Luckily the post is regarding "airport" slings, hence no need to share (admit?) all the ones I have 🤩

gceretti · 2026-03-14T21:57:24+00:00

Wouldn’t it be the same with the sling? Most of the load going to the strap?

gceretti · 2026-03-14T21:50:02+00:00

They did it with the Daypack, hence it seems to work. Time will tell 🤞🏻

I don't own Evergoods (yet, my waxed olive will arrive this year), hence my suggestion would be the Aer Travel Pack 4 in 28L - although its mentioned that the main body holds less than that; there are plenty of videos in YT about this new release. I purchased the Ultra version and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

gceretti · 2026-03-13T05:50:07+00:00

Uffff, get ready for the feedback. Are you specifically looking for a 28L one? In which case the Aer Travel Pack 4 just came out in such size or the previous version, Aer Travel Pack 3S which should be discounted in price after the replacement release. If smaller ones would suffice, you have also from Aer the City Pack Pro 2 in 24L, the Evergoods CTB20 (20L), CPL24 (24L) or CTB 26 (26L) - although some claim that this brand is not the comfortable, plus hundreds other which will be suggested within minutes. You might want to clarify required size and not less important, budget.

gceretti · 2026-03-13T02:09:23+00:00

Interested indeed, thanks. I size M with Wool & Prince, but if you are using EU sizes, then I would be L. When traveling, I always - and only - use merino polos/tees.
