Osprey Daylight 26+6 vs Patagonia Micro MLC for 4 day trip

I fly everywhere with a Jansport Big Student backpack. It’s 34l, so you have to underpack it just a smidge to fit it under the seat. They are super affordable, and they hold up. I’ve had mine for ten years. I’ve been looking and looking to replace it with something more “grown up”, but I can’t find

Addendum - I realized that I dont actually need half the stuff I carry so I'm considering either switching to the Kavu rope sling or just keeping everything in a milk crate that I'll keep either in my car or the w

What is your “go-to” handbag?

I am also a jeans-and-tee type gal, and depending on how casual you want to get, or how much you're carrying, I really love Jansport everything and they are way under your budget.

Though you may want to do some modification from a tailor. As for why it is good: It is super light, w
