Sometimes a company will send me a free product to review, I am however under no incentive or obligation to give them a favorable review. I strive to review products that I like, or are popular in the one bag/minimalist travel community, not just brands that I receive a commission on.
My opinions are based on my personal experience with these products, as well as years of experience as an independent traveler.Īny revenue I receive from One Bag Travels is from affiliate marketing relationships, meaning if you click on one of the product links, I may receive a small commission at no cost to you. I run One Bag Travels as an independent website, I am not directly associated with, nor do I take payments from any of the companies featured on this site.
Compression straps get in the way of zippers. The biggest difference in organization between these packs is the size of the zippered compartments in the top flap of the bag. Neither pack uses interior compression straps, so you will probably want to use packing cubes. The main zipper on both packs opens lengthwise, to a large clamshell style compartment. First-aid kit (Ibuprofen, antibiotic gel, Pepto Bismol, decongestant, antihistamine, Immodium AD). 2 oz hand sanitizer (mini bottle from travel section at Target). 3 oz shampoo in silicone bottle (Eagle Creek). 6” Toshiba laptop computer + charge cord. 1 – Long sleeve wool jacket from Icebreaker. 5 – t-shirts (3 cotton and 2 merino wool). They also both have locking zippers in the main compartment, and laptop pocket. Since these are both high quality packs, they both use metal YKK zippers. If a bag isn’t using YKK zippers, chances are they are trying to save money. They set the standard for high quality zippers and fasteners. YKK is a conglomerate of many of the world’s zipper companies. The bag does not stand up on its own, and will flop down on itself when not fully packed. And because the fabric is thinner, it doesn’t keep its shape. It has a slightly abrasive feel with a rough texture that tends to collect lint and dust. The exterior of the fabric is however, much rougher to the touch than the Aer Travel Pack 2. It is considerably thinner than the Aer Travel Pack 2, but still sturdy and durable. The first version of the Minaal bag uses a 600D nylon from Cordura, and this bag seems to be pretty much the same thickness. The fabric is not listed on their website, and is described as a “custom-made” material.
Minaal uses a mystery nylon fabric for its main shell.
