Onebag Indefinite Travel (Ultralight)

I’m partially using this page to evaluate every piece of equipment I have, and to really try to justify to myself if I really need, and really use that stuff. This has already helped me a lot to trim down some of the stuff on this list.

Another reason for writing this is that I honestly feel like others leave out subtle, but important items in their lists, their lists are usually much more broad and fail to include the small things. I think that the small things are the things that matter the most, and no matter how small, they can make a big differecne to your journey.

Diversion Pant

Introduction

The Diversion pant comes with a lot of promise, it is primarily aimed at onebaggers and travellers with it being an option for people to use as their only pair of pants. And this is what I used it for, I’ve used it almost everyday for around 6 months in total at the time of writing. It has quite a few features of note such as a 4-way stretch fabric, apparent breathability, water and stain resistance with a DWR coating and a gusset to allow for additional movement. It also has a two layer construction with the outside being like a smooth canvas, almost similar to chinos while the inside is very similar to the comfort of joggers.
