Blog2023 ≫ These so called "Uncle Paul" bags could have clearer branding

This does not scream "Uncle Paul" to me1 I have to say. I bought a bag like this, and it's good, and I might get more of them. The first one is perfect as a sports bag that often gets left outside, but if I was still going to Glastonbury or another festival I'd definitely get another one to put my important stuff in that must stay dry, and then maybe another one to carry round that I could put my coat in, or spare shoes and socks, and also have it as something dry to sit on on the wet ground.

Of course now I not going it will be the dryest hottest Glastonbury in a generation...

I got here because I am still looking for the ultimate lightweight travel washbag, I have not found it yet. I want one that rolls up, hangs up, stores a few things, but is nice and light. This one says it is 60g1, now is that right? If so is that lighter than the two I already have? My original Lifeventure one is 144g. I suspect that is going to be the best one ever, but it's hung on the back of the bathroom door with all my stuff in. I replaced it with a Jack Wolfskin one, and that's the one I mostly take on holiday. Slightly smaller but just doesn't feel lightweight enough. The bag feels like it weighs more than what is in it. There's an Osprey one that I've had my eye on for ages1 but it seems to be 100g and is not longer available. I'm overthinking this.
