…cro. If you’re going to be out for a long time, I’d take a trash compactor bag as a bag liner. If you’re only out for a few days and the weather looks clear, you’ll probably be fine.

Sure, it doesn’t have every bell and whistle from the carry world, but it doesn’t need them. I wouldn’t say I’m a minimalist yet, but I can bring the Delireis to perform the job of three other bags!

If traveling for more than one or two days most of us like to take a spare pair of shoes; it’s a shame you cannot do it easily when loaded with a laptop. “Unfortunately there is no space for a bottle of water or any kind of food, something I would have appreciated.” Something else worth noting is that the material lacks rigidity.
