Thanks Handsome Garry!

I'd take "meet all airlines" with a grain of salt, maybe it meets most airlines carry-dimensions, but not all, and not personal item. 26+6 however...

I just saw the updated Cabin Zero Military, on the list!

@@OneBagTravels looks like a tweak upgrade 🥴 don't forget to show the Basecamp duffel XS 😅

Good call to let it soak a bit

You mean there's a gap because of the large zipper pulls, or they wiggle loose to have a gap?

They wiggle loose.

Yes personal item means under the seat. It varies by airline and the kind of ticket you have. You have to check the airlines baggage limits on your flight.

@@OneBagTravels I understand every airline is different, but is there a size that is standard on most?

​@@mantiscity18x14x8 is common for US airlines

T-shirt plus polo or other simple versatile button down is the way to go. Dress up or down, simple, versatile, easy.

Yeah their custom zipper pulls don't have holes on the end. About all you could do is cut them off and add a Paracord zipper pull.

Yeah, about all you can do is cut those off and add Paracord pulls.

Not really, the Daylite daypacks attach by looping the compression strap through the top look, but this bag doesn't have compression straps. Instead I think they designed this bag to be the base to attach the Daylite to. Which seems odd because the Daylite daypack is 13L, which seems large to attach to a 26L pack.

Osprey Fairfiew/Farpoint as well as Tortuga packs have good harness systems.

Good that you got it before it changed!

Ah that's a bummer! They sell a frame sheet that works with the Techonaut, I wonder if it would help?

Nicceeee

TP3 Small

@@OneBagTravels Game on, that is my go to one bag travel bag. Been trying to decide if I get the new Aer TP3 since I also have the TP2. Just traveled in EU for a month with my Nomatic Navigator and in the process of giving them feedback on my experience. It's a great bag but really bigger than 35L and I think with the expansion can go beyond 40L which puts it into dangerous territory for size and weight with many airlines and parts of the world. the TP2 looks smaller perception wise as well, and is more comfortable to wear even though its missing load lifters.

Great suggestion, I put the specs in the description but adding it to the screen as I go would be helpful.

Cheapest one is $229.99, robic nylon. Ultra fabric is closer to $300. But yes, prices on most packs have gone up considerably in the last 3 years, almost universally except for companies like Osprey who managed to reduce the price of their Daylite series, the 26+6 is still only $100.

it's a wee bit over but can usually get away with carrying the Evergoods CTB26 on most personal item flights. True personal item would probably be the Osprey 26+6.

Mini MLC is better quality is the best answer.

Depends on the phone. A Google Pixel 8 doesn't fit, but a Pixel 2 fits. Max length needs to be under about 6" to fit.

@@OneBagTravels Thank you for the info!

Yes.

Probably would fit under most seats if underpacked. But if you're flying a personal-item only ticket you'll need to convince the gate agent to let it go.

I haven't tried either of those but the Transit isn't on their website anymore so i suspect the Packable Duffel is an update to the Transit.

It should fit under most airline seats, but you still have to get it past the gate agent

I have some studio lights now but black bags dont work great with my camera

Some backpacking bags have stretchy mesh here you could probably use for that, or get an after-market strap pocket is probably your best option. Passports are wider than most straps so doubtful companies will add that feature very often.

@@OneBagTravels after market strap pocket! Didn’t know that existed. I’ll look into it. I’ve been waiting to this feature forever. Weird omission imo for a travel bag cuz anyone who’s travelled lots feels the pain of taking your pack off and on a dozen times and digging through pockets looking for this stuff. Sometimes you need to pull out ticket/passport 3 times for a single flight. So I often wear a crossbody plus a backpack and that’s overkill and annoying.

@@badsofficial Yeah I can see it being a handy feature. I just googled it and there are a bunch, I'm sure you can find something that works.

Good point, it does, not a great feature if you're carrying a laptop as this bag doesn't have much padding either.

Thanks! And yes, the Freefly has a very technical look, but the Refraction looks much better for general travel use.

AER TP Small is a great pack, thanks for the offer!

I'll check it out

Nice, hope you love it and the straps work out better

Ah yes, I didn't even think of using the loops for paracord attachment but I bet that will work!

That's usually how you can tell a new update is coming, the old model starts coming up for sale at a really good deal, then it starts being low stock. Then bam! Sometimes companies will drop on Amazon or in their European stores first before hitting the US, but not always.

@@OneBagTravels wait, what, old versions of this bag came out on sale? ... HA... i just saw it at full price, and yeah, out of stock =)

If only they'd reach out to me! 😆

It's a little bright but it's growing on me 😁

I'll have to post a comparison. I'd still probably go with the Mini, I really like the 26+6 but the big compartment on the Mini work well with my packing style. But I may change my mind after testing this bag out more.
