In the interest of creating fresh content, here is a comparison of the CPL24 side-by-side with the Synik 22 and Synik 30 taken at the TB factory when I visited a while back.

I found the Synik straps to be more comfortable, but I don't own the syniks so it was a very quick comparison.

Here's a comparison of the CPL24 really stuffed to the brim next to a Cotapaxi Allpa 28. The CPL24 is normally thinner, but filling up the front pocket makes it balloon a bit.

 

Pouches

I've recently become very interested in organizing with pouches, and I'm interested in knowing how others organize their one bag. I'll kick this off:

Eagle Creek Pack It Reveal Clean/Dirty cube - Medium

I use this for all my clothes, including socks and underwear.


Fjallraven High coast hip pack

This is my travel EDC pouch. It has my Ricoh camera, small charger, hand sanitizer, nanobag sling, IEMs, possibly a snack, and a mini ghost whale pouch.


Tom Binh HLT2

This holds all my knick knacks that I just access when I'm in my accommodations. Spare charger cable, comb, toothbrush, USB sticks, sewing kit, etc


Tom Binh QKit

Just a small pouch to carry small non-flat items like a european power converter, sea to summit hanger, etc


The aforementioned mini ghost whale pouch

This goes with me wherever I go when travelling, and even sometimes at home. It has:

  • Ibuprofen
  • Pepto Bismol
  • Tylenol
  • ADHD medications
  • spare battery for my camera
  • listerine strips
  • tiny astronaut pen
  • a small 2ml perfume spray thingy filled with water in case my clothes start clinging too much to me in dry environments
  • Shout wipes in case I drop some food on me

I just carry 1-2 doses of the meds in this pouch, so all the ibu, pepto, tylenol, and adhd meds barely take any space.


Ziploc bag

I put my special shampoo and hand sanitizer in this one to quickly take it out when I'm in the airport

I have a ton of slings, pouches, and cubes, but this is what I've settled on for long term travel. Other pouches I have:

  • Alpaka mini elements
  • Tom Binh HLT1
  • Tom Binh Clear 3D organizer cube
  • Evergoods CAP1
  • Evergoods CAP2
  • Evergoods CAS2

But I now value weight over almost anything else, so most of these are either unnecessary, or too heavy for what they offer.

Anyone else settled on a good system for organizing their loadout?
