Sojourn Porter 30L

In my experience with my packing style, I get more into the Mini MLC than the 26+6 even when expanded. And it carries much more comfortably, like night and day different. I wonder if the Osprey sojourn Porter 30 might be a better match for you though?

If you have a shorter torso, the Osprey Sojourn Porter 30L would be a good match for your priority list. However, as mentioned in the Pack Hacker review, the bag does better as a travel backpack than a day bag.

I never thought about the hip belt size as I am petite (5'1"), so I only pick backpacks that are under 35L and up to 46 cm in height. Still the overhead size limit puts Osprey Sojourn Porter 30L out of my options. Two things lacking in the Cabin Zero Classic 36 are a sternum strap and laptop access

At 19.3H X 14.6W X 10.2D IN (49H X 37W X 26D CM) It’s too big and notably too deep, even for overhead on most airlines. Osprey did a face plant on that bag and the Sojourn Porter 30 too.
