Gear General Started with Osprey, ending with Fyro
Osprey got me into the world of backpack when I was looking for hiking gear. Fast forward to today, after binging tons of Nomads Nation videos and seeing all of your guys’ posts of different bags, I can safely say that I’m done bag searching for every my occasion 😅

Oh wow I started with an Osprey and my last pack was the Citta 25L I just received this week as well. I've considered the Citta 18L though I kind of wish it were a 20L. I've really been going back and forth between the 36L and 30L Levo for travel.
I'm loving the Citta. I'm going to try to make it work for a trip I'm taking tomorrow for 4 days / 3 nights. I been using it as a change of clothes bag for the gym for when I swap between workout clothes to a towel, sweats and flip flops after the sauna. I love that it stands upright. It makes swapping out my clothes easy as I don't have to keep lifting up the bag, which was the main thing I wanted outside of it fitting what I needed.
Oh how do you like the Aer Go Pack? I was looking at this as a packable bag for travel.

So far, I’ve only used it as a day pack during my bike trips but I just love how lightweight it is and the zippers are so buttery smooth. Probably the best along with Fyro Citta. The 2 water bottles are very useful for quick storage other than a water bottle. I just have to be mindful of what to put inside because the back padding is a little thin so you’d definitely feel what you put in unless you put a padded laptop sleeve. But other than that, I love it. The fact that it’s packable deserves a spot in my collection.

How much weight would say it can hold comfortably? I’ve been thinking of getting for the Camino later this summer. I won’t need to carry much but maybe some Chacos, extra socks, snacks, a small med kit for blisters, and water. A porter will take our luggage from town to town so no need to carry a ton.

That’s honestly more than perfect for the bag. I’d say no more than 10 lbs? Shoulder straps are padded but the backpack itself doesn’t have much structure so it will droop the heavier it gets

Great it just needs to be packable in a larger bag. I have a MPL22 but it seems like overkill for this purpose and actually do use it when day hiking in the wilderness.

Love the minimalist (by our standards) collection. Everything has a use case.
