I could not post a response to the travel pouches thread - post button kept spinning. So I am creating a new thread...

Here are some of the pouches that I use:

Evergoods Civic Access Pouch 1L for computer cords, USB-c hub, charger, adapters.

Peak Designs medium packing cube for clothes (up to 2-4 days worth, minus shoes)

Gravel minimal toiletry bag for indefinite supply of toiletry items.

Maxpedition pouch I use pouch this as a dump pocket that I attach to inside of backpacks with attachment points (e.g. Molle webbing on GoRuck bags, Evergoods, etc.). I like this one because it has lots of pockets and very little structure. Can also use unattached to organize loose, small items.

Bag review (for a little more traffic)

Been using GR1 21L xpac (in Navy) EDC for about four weeks. Liking it for light weight, contrasting interior, and classic GR1 shape. Here are some highlights:

Really liking the bag so far. Here are some highlights:

  • Build quality seems great - no loose threads, stitching and seams are spot on.
  • Much lighter than eRead more about review stating GR1 in XPAC is the bag I've been waiting forither my 500D or 1000D GoRuck bags. This 21L bag is lighter than the 500d bullet w/ laptop compartment.
  • Coyote interior is really nice - high visibility. I like it much more than the black hole interior of the older bags.
  • XPAC vx21 seems plenty durable, but time will tell. I was worried that it would feel too thin, but it doesn't.
  • Really love the top quick access pocket. I don't think I'll thread a pocket through the interior Molle like I often do. Don't need it.
  • Aquaguard zippers are really tight. They are loosening up with use.
  • Navy color is great - good contrast to the sea of black bags I have.
  • XPAC on the back and interior of the straps seems fine so far. Not too slippery at all and I don't feel I need a sternum strap (which is good, because there isn't anywhere to attach one).
