r/onebag

I have a pair of Sony XM4 over the ear headphones that come in a rigid case. Looking for a bag, that even well fully packed out, has a front/side/top pocket that will let me easily retrieve my headphones.

I have a Synik 30 now and when full it is hard to extract the case from the bottom pocket without needing a bit of muscle. So trying to figure out of there's a better option out there that wont completely trap the case when the bag is fully loaded.

Looking for feedback on AER TP2, Able Carry Max, GR2, and CTB35 in regards to headphone storage

Tom Bihn Techonaut 30 | This is a good way to make use of extra straps you have at home.

The Techonaut comes in two sizes, 30 liters or 45 liters—both definitely on the larger side of the size spectrum. That’s good news for us since we like to make use of every cubic inch of space in our bags. We sure got good mileage out of either size, and we’re happy to say that the harness system was a joy to use on the Techonaut 30. 

Tom Bihn Techonaut 30 Review | Pack Hacker

Ideally I’m looking for a smaller travel backpack for someone who has a smaller frame (under 5’6). There’s obviously the AER Travel Pack 2 but I have a concern the codura model attracts a lot of dog hair. Has anyone noticed this with the non-xpac AER bags and cordura? Ideally looking for a clam shell with the same aesethic as AER, Minaal, Black Ember, etc. for a smaller frame. I’m thinking this would be a &gt; 30L bag and one that is less than 20.5 inches long. 

Does anyone with a small frame use a larger pack for traveling without an issue?

If you have some gear sitting around that you would like to sell or trade, list it below. If you're looking for a particular type of pack or clothing, request it below. This thread will be refreshed monthly, but you can use the flair sort in the sidebar to view older threads. You are welcome to post unsold items once per month.

Items you can list include bags, travel clothing, and items that would go well in a onebag. If something is clearly outside of these categories it will likely be removed. Only list items that you are personally selling, and don't just link to a website for sale.

## AUTHENTICATED IMAGE

**Sale/trade items must include an image of the actual item including evidence of your username and a date.** For example a piece of paper on top of the item. Sales posts without this will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned. If the seller is not willing to post images to this thread do not proceed with the transaction.

## POST SAMPLE

Post titles should look something like this:  **WTS - Osprey Porter 30L - $XX**

Each post should begin with one of the following:

* **WTS** (want to sell)
* **WTB** (want to buy)
* **WTT** (want to trade)

Include details about the pack or item. Size, condition, price, location, picture links, etc. If trading, list a few of the possible items you're looking for. Be sure to mention what country you are in, so potential buyers are aware.

## TRANSACTION SAFETY TIPS

Be aware that there are scammers active on Reddit, and on this sub-reddit. Any transaction comes with some risk -- decide whether the risk is worth it to you. The following tips can help reduce that risk.

* Be wary of new accounts with no posting history. You are entering into a personal transaction which is entirely between you and the buyer/seller. It is entirely up to you to do your due diligence to ensure a smooth transaction.
* Before entering into private chat with a buyer/seller ensure both parties respond directly to a comment below. This ensures respondents pass basic posting requirements, and provides an initial log of any discussion. This goes for all transactions. The more eyes on a transaction the better.
* If you are using Paypal, use "Goods and Services". Never pay using the "Friends and Family" option. You lose a lot of leverage with Paypal when contesting F&amp;F transactions.
* Google search the username. Scammers are often active in multiple sub-reddits; a search might reveal a pattern of behavior. The [Universal Scammer List](https://universalscammerlist.com/), and [r/sneakermarket/banlist](https://www.reddit.com/r/sneakermarket/wiki/index/banlist) are good resources providing some supplemental background to the people you're dealing with. Obviously this should not be your only source, but it can offer some great insight.

 So that's this size of a sandal here. I can't stuff that in here like quite as easily, i can, if i bend it around, but let me show you now, with the 45 liter of version of the techo knot, there's just going to be a little bit more space on the inside here. So i can shove that in and that's a little bit more space for that flip-flop, which is nice. I really appreciate that so yeah um, you know you can see that there's just a little bit more space in the bottom

 This is a little bit more leader independent, so it does stuff up here a bit and depending on, if you stuff it, you know that you're going to have a little bit of variance there. However, when you unzip this there's enough extra fabric to where you can basically negate the bottom of this this bag. So if i really want to let the main compartment here be as large as it can be, i just unzip that, and this extra fabric will fall into this bottom pocket more. So it's like up to you

 I kind of like that. It'S like tom bin branded as well. That'S where the absolute shoulder strap attaches. I think that you know runs near like a hundred bucks

 So i got my 16 inch macbook pro in here no problem. Let me just grab it and show you how it fits inside 16 inch, no problem right in the back all right, so that right zipper here for a laptop zipper here for shoulder straps. I think on the techo knot, it's a lot more useful and then i would say we could compare the back panels, but there really isn't one on the aeronaut either i mean there's some padding in here. But overall you know it's it's

Tom Bihn Techonaut 30 Review (2 Weeks of Use)

**Backpack folks** - this thing is a million times better as a backpack than aeronaut.  

  As such when I say 'side', or 'top' or 'bottom', I am referring to the backpack mode where the secondary, smaller zipped pocket is on the bottom of the bag - backpack mode.

 The backpack strap hideaway made me laugh when I realized how it works - basically they carved two channels that the straps neatly slide in to, which minimizes bulk when you carry it in duffle mode.  They are using new zippers which slide super easily, with much less force than the old zippers on my Aeronaut.  Zippers are loud when they clang together, as usual, so I'd absolutely advise adding pulls or heat shrink or some sort of method to silence them.

The new laptop pocket is nice, and certainly gives you a ton of room.  It is suspended from the bottom of the bag, ensuring your device stays safe.  No issues with a macbok and an ipad nestled in there.  The back panel has mesh annd a dedicated padding again, changes the carry completely from an Aeronaut 30

  Zippers are loud when they clang together, as usual, so I'd absolutely advise adding pulls or heat shrink or some sort of method to silence them.

I got my hands on a pre-production Tom Bihn Techonaut 30. Put together initial impressions, comparison to TB's excellent Aeronaut and would be happy to answer questions or take photos.
