You know I actually have been looking for a nice messenger bag or a nice back pack / or personal item that could be used for multiple purposes like the gym or work and travel 🧳. I have been eyeing the Aer fitpack 3 bc it has a shoe compartment . But the bag sits sideways on a suitcase. The struggle is real lol 🤣 For work I am a professional hair stylist. As far as packing ....my husband and I are going to Providence RI in the fall (October) and it will be cooler. Maybe a video on fall travel for men too ? 😀 what do you think of the dopp kits for men?

      @ItsTheKellys went really well! I was happy to be the lightest traveler and had fun when everyone asked how it was possible to go on a week long vacation with a wedding in between and still pack so lightly. I was able to take my carry-on on board with me in all but one flight. They made me check it on the way back home, which was no big deal. However the monos does get scuffed easily and the handle is a bit wobbly now... :/ should I consider returning?

    Thanks for the men's packing. I bought a pair of black/black Allbirds and they pack down very flat. Never had a problem with them not being formal enough and they can also work as a comfortable walking shoe. Just back from a 11 day Japan tour with a carryon and a small backpack. One thing I found very helpful, and the first time I had used one, was a cross-body bag. Great for airport items ie. passports, phones, charges, snacks and can stuff it in the top of backpack when getting on plane. Also, great for tours with room for lots and a small water bottle. Could even fit in a small daypack folded up in case I bought stuff.

    This is making me think I should practice packing. I end up overpacking because I'm anxious about forgetting something. Also -- the shoe thing -- I'm getting better at this but it's still difficult to narrow it down if I'm doing fancier things. :)

      Hi Nicolas. Stay tuned because on Saturday I review this plus bag and compare it to the regular size. The clothes unpacked were all 3x and size 44 shorts, and size 13 shoes. I still had some room, and know I could do it in the regular Monos size.
      On Monday, I’m launching a video where I take all of the Monos suitcases to the sizers to show what suitcases fit on what airline, and show the plus, the regular, the pro. And the hybrid
      The difference with the pro is that it takes an inch of depth out of the inside. To me, I prefer the regular suitcases because I will always travel with my laptop in my personal item.
