Sojourn Porter 46L

Duffels are a problem for air travel carry on for a couple reasons. First of all many have the wrong dimensions with a square cross section and leaving one dimension too big and not fully utilizing the available space for the other.

I use an Osprey Daylite 20L (NOT the Daylite 26 + 6) as my day pack. When empty it just packs almost completely flat in my larger one bag. I put it in last on the top.

Onebagging isn’t a universal solution. It is a minimalist urban technique. I could handle low temps to 0f/-18c with a onebag kit, but lower than that is quite a challenge. Don’t buy a Peak Design bag. They are notorious for uncomfortable harness. I would look for a bag with a load transferring harne
