I like to share my lightweight insert creation. I had a hard time to find any good options for my carry on bag so I started to look at options how to make the inserts myself.
I bought a light weight foam mat, velcro tape, and fabric that the velcro stick to, like loop fabric from Velcro etc. The total cost is around US$25 (not including the carry on bag price).
I had to use another fabric type than the fabric described above since I couldn’t find the loop fabric locally. I recommend that you use a more stiffer fabric than I got hold on. My fabric stretches so I had to saw strait seems to fixate it onto the foam mat.
I hope it will help someone else.
- The empty carry on bag weigh 1.65kg/3.64lb
- The total weight of my insert setup is 452g/15.9oz
- The total weight with my current gear that you can see in the picture is 10.9kg/24lb
