Need a backpack for crutches that holds a Stanley safely

I think your best bet is to switch to a closed lid water bottle for the time on crutches.

My preference is a Big Student.

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.

backpack suggestions

I’m a big fan of jansport. I am currently using a lilac Big Student for work. It has a laptop sleeve (fits my 15in laptop, 15ish in external monitor, and my iPad with keyboard case), two large pockets, and then three smaller pockets on the front. I carry my lunch, two 32oz owalas, 2-3 battery banks,
