Patagonia Black Hole Mini MLC is 30 L, has clamshell opening and a separate laptop compartment. But it's still too big for EDC. Aer Pro Pack 24 L — clamshell, separate laptop compartment, but no outside lash points.

Bumping up this old thread since I had the same dilemma. I actually bought both bags to try them out in person. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but here are some key differences: The Allpa 28L has a TPU-coated nylon exterior which should be more durable than the TPU-coated polyester of t
