    Great points! Out of personal experience I want to add: check out if the bag topples over when you put it down, in case that's something that would be a discomfort for you. I personally hate it when they topple over or even slip down when you lean them against something (like your leg or a wall) and the next bag I'll get for myself needs to pass my now mandatory topple test. When it comes to rain: I always, always, ALWAYS bring a poncho. Light weight, uses it's own pocket as a bag, is safe to use in wind, covers everything including the backpack, no risk of water getting between the backpack and your back, and you can even get stuff out of the backpack or put on / take off your jacket underneath without everything getting wet. True lifesaver in my world.

    I'm also consider buying merino Tshirts for casual & travel outfit. I've always worried that merino wool would be too hot. But last month I went hiking with a friend who wore a merino Tshirt under 30°C heat. He had no problem with it which really impressed me. Thanks for sharing your travel experience with merino clothing.

    I’m 6’4” and 265 lbs so my clothes are also extra big. I’m all about packing light and efficiently but i do have to go with a larger bag than most. Luckily it’s proportionately easier to carry for me. Airlines don’t take size of a person into consideration so the restrictions are actually helpful in forcing me to be minimalist. If you are smaller then the restrictions should be more than enough to accommodate your needs so don’t stress.

      a bit unfair that you don't get a bit more space/weight allowant proportional to your size actually! I'm glad you've taken the positive out of it of helping you be minimalist!💚

    Man, I love your videos dude. I have been on a simple living trend for awhile now. I love to simplify every aspect of my life as much as possible. This one was so cool, I travel with one tiny backpack as well. It isn't that hard, once you realize you don't need what you think you need. BTW...I need that hat! I love that style. Cheers!!!

    @DomenickTina 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from kislux for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.

  • @pedalparadise4096
    @pedalparadise4096 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Another important consideration is whether the bag will fit your body. Torsos can be shorter than the allowed carry on length. A backpack style bag longer than is comfortable doesn't work regardless of other considerations.

    As a Jakarta native who lives on the other side of town from the airport... it has never come to mind that getting to and from the airport would be easier (and much cheaper) if I only travelled with a backpack... I guess I really have to rethink how I pack my travel bags!

  • @YohandraPoellnitz
    @YohandraPoellnitz 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks to this video, I learned something. I can't see the difference between the real thing and the fake one, so I just buy the fake one. But if you want to buy it in the future, it is better to invest in the real thing. But now I am still considering buying a fake one within the budget. I have been waiting for kislux for a long time.

  • @Sarius-
    @Sarius- หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I really cannot praise that Tomtoc bag enough. I bought it after seeing your recommendation for budget bags, and I agree that it's hard to beat. It's affordable, made with quality materials, large enough for most people, and seems durable. It's lasted for 3 trips so far and has a 4th coming up in December. The last budget one I had broke on the first trip because it had clips on the bottom of the straps instead of stitching. It's also 31% off on Amazon right now. My mother said she's going to buy one for my father lol.

    I love all the travel hacks and packing tips but nothing will ever convince me to give up my favorite backpack, a plain old LL Bean school backpack. It's 42L and I've had it for at least 10 years. It fits so much stuff and I love the separate compartments. I seriously don't need another bag because I can get everything in that one backpack. Plus, if it gets dirty, I throw it in the washing machine and it comes out looking clean and ready for the next trip.

    I have the Aer Travel Pack 3 small, in X-pac, just like yours and I looove the admin panel. I like having all my phone, cables, power banks, wallets, passport, notebooks, pens, iPad mini, at hand while flying. I certainly wouldn't want to be zipping that bag open mid-flight to take out a tech pouch

  • @MrDiMaggio5
    @MrDiMaggio5 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Maurice, I love your channel and videos, and have learned a ton (binder clip in the curtains was huge!) , thank you! I love merino wool too, however as a business traveler (corporate) you're not fooling anyone with khaki merino wool joggers as khaki's, they look like sweat pants/joggers. Big fan of Jack Archer Jetsetters, or Lululemon ABC pants for more of an office setting. Light, can get several wears without washing, water/stain resistant, wrinkle free, and pack pretty small.

  • @Victoria-dh9vb
    @Victoria-dh9vb หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    A trick I recommend- skip the locks. They draw attention to your bag being something worth locking up. And chances are? They will either cut open your bag, or take the whole thing to go through at a second location.
    Locks only keep honest people honest. They aren't going to stop a motivated thief.
    What I do, is I choose bags with double zippers, and feed a heavy key chain ring through them. Most people won't clock that it's even there, and it's juuuust a big enough inconvenience that most would be pick pockets aren't going to try to wrestle with it while it's still on your person.

    Also, thanks for the huge tip on motorcyle taxis - yeah the options for getting to a hotel is a lot of SE Asian locations goes up greatly if a onebag etc. is worn in backpack mode. I have to be honest and admit that I need a hip pack to, and that would be a problem for me since the seats are short.

    Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in kislux . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermes, no one will question you.

    Not gonna lie. I OWN the authentic in that same exact color and I STILL got it wrong! And I even use the bag every single day! Only goes to show how damn good these kislux are visually. Now guessing which is the fake by feeling them both in my hands is another story.

  • @mdubb4855
    @mdubb4855 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I believe your personal item-sized, under-seat Osprey daypack is the Daylite series "Cinch" model, a top loading 15L daypack with a cinch cord for closing in lieu of a zippered panel.
    I believe you called it out as the 13, but the 13L version is panel loading with zipper closure, gains two external bottle slots, and has a suspended instead of full height laptop slot (I prefer the extra protection of a suspended laptop slot, but can live with the non-suspended Cinch 15L due to its weight advantage (12 oz) to size ratio and narrow 9.5" width, which leaves room for a leg on either side under the seat}.
    Because zippers are relatively heaving compared to draw cords, the larger Cinch 15 has significantly more storage space yet weighs less. Someone should check the ASTM volume someday, the industry standard volume test allows stuffing any mesh bottle slots and counting that volume too, while the Cinch doesn't have bottle slots so the main compartment should actually be 15L (the front flat panel zipper slot doesn't add volume, since whatever you stuff there subtracts from main compartment space).
    Finally, two 700ml Trader Joes sport cap bottles will fit side by side in the flat front zipper panel, albeit eating into main compartment space. I was worried I would have a stow spot for water (short of a hiking bladder in the laptop slot) but actually I'll be able to haul enough water onboard for my 14 hour flights.
    The Cinch is hard to find. The Daylite 13 and Daylite Plus 20L are much more common, usually stocked at REI. The Cinch is a little gem, thanks for sharing your crazy-light packing strategy with us.

    Great video. I’m curious if you have an opinion on the Tom Bihn Aeronaut 30? I’ve been using this bag for the last 5year along with a Synapse 19 as a personal item. I’ve had great success with this load out on multiple type of trip including 2 weeks in Europe on a multi city trip.
    I’m curious why it disappeared entirely from the one bag/ carry-on only discussions. I love the versatility it brings with the absolute strap which is absolutely fantastic. As a fellow Canadian, I understand it’s absurdly expensive now but some of the choices in videos I’ve seen on this topic are really expensive as well. In any case I love your videos, thank you for making them!

    Hey Maurice, are there ultralight options for packs and wheeled cases? I know ultralight hikers often have packs in the 400-800gram range, taking up way less of your carry-on allowance, feeling significantly less burdensome on the shoulders and leaving you space for bringing back souvenirs and gifts.
    2kg for the Pakt bag and 3.8kg for the AER case seems to take up so much of the pretty common 7kg carry-on allowance.

    I have to say, I understand why people say they don't care about people buying fakes or counterfeit goods, or why people should care. However, people don't necessarily "care" about people who own fake goods. Smart people will buy bags at kislux . In fact, people who have money to buy luxury goods and invest in them do so for a reason.

    I trusted your product promotion, and purchased Unbound Merino clothes for a trip abroad. First they took weeks, arriving only a couple days before my trip. I was stressed! I ordered a size too big just to be sure, but what I received could only be considered several sizes too small and unwearable. Perhaps for children. Perhaps they saved some money on wool. In any case, shame on me for listening to an influencer doing product promotion.
