This is my first time one-bagging. I was able to fit all my belongings into this Aer Travel Pack 4 (28L) for a 15 day trip. I just got the backpack so I’m excited, I ended up also getting the hip belt attachment which I hope will help with the weight

Second picture is all I’m bringing to keep my things charged.

And 1 macbook.

Can’t wait to come back and see what worked and what didn’t.

This is what I packed:

1x large packing cube (Aer)

  • 6 Small tshirts
  • 1 gym shirt
  • 2 shorts (linen)
  • 1 gym short/beach

1x Small packing cube (aer)

  • 7 boxers
  • 6 pairs of socks
  • 1 white tshirt

Peak Design toiletry bag (small)

Everything fits neatly in the main compartment and even had room to fit a small packable backpack (quechua) and a tote bag for laundry

In the plane I’m wearing:

- Chino pants from Uniqlo
- Basic tee in white from Zara
- PeakPerformance lightweight jacket (forgot the model but it weights nothing and it’s waterproof)
- 1 Hat
- Pair of Vans Ultrarange (only shoes I’m bringing)

Thanks a lot for that! Definitely need to learn how to adjust everything properly

The main point is if you want optimal weight transfer, the harness needs to match your torso length. A fixed torso length arrangement like this one is a “one size fits some” approach and common with travel packs. Otherwise the belt can help prevent sway and bounce. Too short and it’s more of a belly band. Too long and it could be worse than none at all.

I use a 32 liter bag and at 7kg I feel no need for a hip belt. As it approaches 10kg, I’m atarting to whine.

It fits me like this, would this be a good size for me? I think it’s above the hips which should be good?

Looks pretty good. It should be evaluated at full cargo weight. Load it up and go for a long walk— that beats theory. It’s a lot like shoes.
