3 Months SE Asia - Osprey 26+6

Hey!

A couple months ago I posted a trial packing list asking how to lighten my load. https://www.reddit.com/r/HerOneBag/comments/1hn1taz/3_months_se_asia_march_may

I'm heading to Sri Lanka this weekend and will be taking a few flights between countries, so I’ve committed to traveling carry-on only. Thanks to the great advice from this community, I made a few changes to my bag and clothing situation and managed to get my main backpack down to 7.14kg!

I managed to get my hands on the Osprey 26+6 and will be trying out for the first time. While I did love using my previous bag, Forclaz 40L, it weighed 1.4kg alone. I shall be keeping this for any future trips that might require more gear. A lot of people rave about the osprey 26+6 so I decided to grab one while it was still in stock! Other changes I made were to swap my dry bag and toiletry bag for more lightweight styles, reduce the amount of locks and carabiners I was initially going to take, and swap a maxi skirt to a midi dress. One more change I made was swapping my Bluetooth earbuds for over-ear headphones. I was torn between the two but ultimately chose the headphones for their longer battery life and comfort. Also got my hands on a long sleeve rash guard as I plan to do a lot of snorkelling and a few surfing classes. This can also double as a layer for some mountain hikes I want to do in Indonesia.
