Ultimate Travel Gear List That Will Change the Way You Travel
…us Osprey Transporter Duffel. https://youtu.be/c2gH1xOZpqI?t=1072 Packable Bags Bags tend to fill themselves. What I mean is if everything you need to bring fits in a 19L, but you bring a 30L, there’s a good chance you’ll end up bringing closer to 30L worth of stuff. That’s why when I’m traveling light, I usually use the smallest bag I have that will fit the least amount I’m willing to bring. So what do I do if I buy some fun stuff on my trip? Whe…

ONA Hamilton Rolling Camera Bag and Duffle :: Review
…rmance Negotiating life, transport, a wedding, or even a city with a heavy roller bag is challenging; ask anyone who’s dealt with a roller and a set of stairs at a train station. Great roller bags are nimble, robust and fluid. This bag is aimed at travel photographers, or even photographers on the move; sadly, the bag falls short in this department, lacking general agility. The wheels are too close together. Accidentally tap the back of a foot and…

…a pretty durable bag. – Construction: It’s surprising how many soft shell travel bags still fail to stand upright when loaded (an issue that needs clever work arounds when designing sandwich construction luggage). Thankfully the Copilot does this well. The molded base gives good structure and is not too overwhelming or big. You have to love these molded bases over the cheaper fabricated flat sheets of PE creating sharp angles that tear. The inter…

…or this bag are bike commuters, outdoor folk looking for a daypack and one-bag travellers who are looking for a versatile, simple and tough backpack that’s on the larger end of the scale. At 30 litres capacity, it’s not a small bag – so ideally this is a bag for those who feel the need to carry a lot of stuff.

Listen, I was in the same boat… lugging 60-100 liters of gear (mostly clothes) on trips that were anywhere from 7-90 days of travel, like a damn tourist. I’d see folks carrying 30 liters and my ignorance-based hubris made me dismiss this one bag travel idea entirely. That’s insane, even stupid. How could they do it?

The Copilot deals pretty well with these, even adding an externally accessed shoe pocket at the base*.

Bottom reinforcements: NYA-EVO – 1, SHIMODA – 0 H2O Both bags have H2O ports that are accessible through the main front pocket.
