ULA Dragonfly / Are TP3 EU alternative (lemmy.one)

Is the ULA Dragonfly / Aer Travel pack 3 worth it? I live in the EU (shipping+customs= $200 extra), but have friends who live in the states, who visit us once every summer (they could bring it).I

Is there a proper alternative in the EU to these two bags around 28-33L?

Good but not terribly expensive merino shirts? (lemmy.ml)

Looking to get some merino shirts for traveling but all of them seem quite pricey. Not opposed to that if it's worth it (and made ethically, like I think...unbound? in Australia?) but seeing what everyone's preferences are.

Recommended underwear for men? (sh.itjust.works)

Basically I'm looking to get some underwear that fits these specs so my onebag journey is a bit easier.

  • lightweight
  • keeps odor down (like merino wool, etc.)
  • can also be used for sports/athletics purposes (maybe like an under armour brief)
  • boxer style (not boxer brief but that might be ok too)

I don't know if Smartwool merino ones fit the bill or if there are any better options (either cheaper or just overall better, etc.)

What's everyone's go-to bag? (reddthat.com)

First, I'm really happy to see a onebag offshoot community happen here outside of Reddit!

Figured we should get this community going by posting what our go-to bags are. Why did you choose that bag? What do you like about it? Anything that could be improved? Any other bags you're eyeing?

My current go-to bag is the Osprey Fairview 40. It's incredibly comfortable and suits my body (I'm very petite) better than my previous bag, which was the RedOxx Sky Train. For me, the issue with the Sky Train was the lack of hip belt for heavier loads, especially when it was packed full (38L capacity). I also wasn't too happy with the organization of the Sky Train either, I think I much prefer having one single compartment and relying on packing cubes.

I was so surprised how comfortable the Fairview was when fully loaded. It didn't feel heavy at all. I guess that's the benefit to having a pack that fits your torso length, along with a proper hip belt!

Do you travel with a neck pillow? Why or why not?

Is it a buy it for life kind of thing, every few years, or are you constantly in the lookout?

I see so many people with different perspectives. How do you define it?
