What gear from our updated list are you most excited to try? ✈🎒💻

[JonGadget]

Nice one as always - I've switched to Bellroy 2.5L sling too for EDC! Keep up the great work 👍 JG

My go to for glasses is Lensrappa. Doesn't do much for the arms, but protects the lenses very well. Very high speed, low drag. And magnets!

[BurlyBear]

I love this channel so much, and have been using their recommendations to tailor my own one bag experience, but could the team do a video on the weight of their travel bags? I don't understand how the Digital Nomad packing guide can comply with most plane companies carry on weight requirements?

[AtlasPainkiller]

Watching Tom and Lauren walk through TSA in all black, with sunglasses and masks, triggers my inner gamer instincts for some reason. I feel like a cut scene is about to happen. Also question for the community. Do you guys really find it practical to use both a tech pouch and an admin panel? I feel like tech pouches just bring bulk to what should be a well-designed admin panel.

liked for the oura ring! People need to learn more about what affects their sleep!

I bought Roka’s prescription glasses around 3 years ago, and they came with an amazingly thin and sturdy case

[jwmann]

For a slim sunglasses case, try a Lensrappa London

Can I add something to your list? About 2-3 years ago I came across the yoga tune up therapy balls. They are a semi soft ball either about baseball size ( plus pair) or smaller . Out of all the various soft tissue products I've tried really allow you to adjust the pressure as you work out sore spots. I'm a professional photographer who travels for work, I'm often carrying a heavy Aer travel bag through airports, holding cameras all day, or working on a laptop. All of which can play havoc on my back or shoulders and traps. These balls take up a small amount space but really work wonders and stop small flare ups from becoming entrenched . The ability to release tension in and around your neck or lower back ( roll out your glutes) is worth a small amount of weight. If you're exploring a new city or say hiking the Camino, get these for rolling out your feet after a long day. My crew all use them now.

The Aer Day Sling 3 doesn't have a buckle on the back, its right next to the sling just like the Bellroy

The Montbell Travel Umbrella link in your description is for their older model. That version appears to be discontinued as it appears under their closeout section and is out of stock.

[Learco]

is the AER pro kit really much smaller than the AER slim pouch? I have the slim one and seems smaller than the pro

[JunkheadAlice]

My significant other introduced me to loops a couple of years ago. While I don't use them personally she swears by them and always has them in her edc. I use a combination of hero clips and infinity tools everyday. I simply cannot live without them.

[westieclo]

So I like bringing loop earplugs to concerts and the such, but I've found that I don't feel secure with them. I still keep them in my bag as pure earplugs, but I switched to some In Ear Monitors that can unplug from the cable when I want to use them as just earplugs. The ones I use are Shure 215 and I end up using them on the plane's Entertainment system, my switch, or my ipad when I'm hanging out in my hotel room. I have splitters for charging and aux cable for my phone as well so I can actually charge my phone while using these. I love how secure they are and if I want to take them out, I can still hang them around my ears.

[ELaster]

The best EDC sunglasses for me are from ThinOptics.
They are rather gentle, but nothing beats the VERY thin hard case they fold into. It’s a game changer for sunglasses carry.

[TexasJon]

Tom - What is the t-shirt you’re wearing in this video? I’m trying to find a merino pocket tee with good sleeve length. I tried Unbound, but their sleeves are just too short for me.

[rafael-rossi]

Loved this one, always appreciate your suggestions. In the video you show the Session shorts from Ten Thousand, but the link goes to the Interval shorts instead, minor hiccup. Thanks!

[Miyahideko]

I went on a hunt for the most minimalist sunglasses case and ended up getting one on etsy that essentially is a suede cover that folds over the lenses while the arms are “left out”. My glasses arent entirely encased in something hard but for low key everyday use, they work perfectly and have saved me so much space.

[Duubly]

if you dont need prescriptions, I really like Roav sunglasses for travelling.
